The whole Due West team is very helpful and nice. I regret not having met them earlier. I started my personal statement quite late, after I met with Michael and Andrew on about October 17th. I was not quite sure about the topic which for a long time I had pondered over. Due West approved it; I felt inspired and Keith helped me develop the whole essay. We had a phone call for nearly an hour when I was stuck on the ending part. I feel thankful to them and hereby recommend their work sincerely.

Working with Due West offered me the confidence and knowledge that I so very much needed to become a competitive applicant for schools that I believe I would never have had a chance of admission otherwise. I believe that it was because of Due West that I was admitted to my top schools such as UC San Diego or Emory. They helped me and offered incredible wisdom during every step of the admission process that I believe made me feel much more confident about myself. I feel like one of the greatest things Due West offered me was the “Fit Finder”. I came into the process with little knowledge of which schools to apply to. Due West compiled an outstanding list of schools that I had all personally loved, most schools I would have never thought of if it weren’t for the “Fit Finder”. In conclusion, my experience with Due West was incredible, I would recommend it to all students.

Working with Due West was certainly a great experience. They helped me discover my strengths and weaknesses, modified and improved my essays, as well as gave me insider’s advice and information about the application process. But more importantly, they did not just treat me as a client, but as a friend and genuinely tried to help me grow. Even after I was accepted, they gave me a lot of helpful advice about college education, college life and much more. It was through this valuable advice that I started to think about what college meant to me, why I came to US to study, and how should I go through my 4 years of college.

My decision to seek out Due West for help with my college application process is one of the best decisions I have made in my high school career. Working with Due West helped alleviate a tremendous amount of stress and concern that is usually entailed with applying to college. I do not think there is a group of people who are more informed about the inner workings of the college application process or colleges in general than the employees at Due West. They genuinely care about helping the students and wonderful, lasting relationships actually form along the process. Their knowledge has helped me successfully conquer the application process and gain admission into one of the top colleges in the United States.

The toughest and most important thing when I applied to colleges is getting to know myself. It’s always one’s own dream and aspirations that is hardest to be discovered, but that is also the key of application essays. Luckily, this was what Due West helped me with the most. Through the face-to-face discussions on personal strengths and essay topics, my previous experience and interests were mixed and converted into an overall approach, showing a real portrait of myself to colleges. The team also provided me with ideas and corrections on the actual presentation, which improved my own writing. Thanks for all the help in the great leap of my life!

The stress of the college application process I felt, was greatly alleviated with the help of Due West. Team members were all extremely knowledgeable about the college process, and took great care in customizing a personal, individualized application journey tailored to my experiences. I felt like they took great lengths to understand the kind of person I am. To me, the most helpful aspect was that I was given deadlines that I had to meet, which forced me to focus and actually write my essays. There was a lot of flexibility, and I never felt pressured to change the way I, personally, wanted to apply to colleges.

Working with Due West is really great. I used to have a contract with another company, and I got pretty much ignored there. After I turned to Due West for help, I felt that I really got their attention. Due West responded quickly and pushed hard to make every essay perfect.

When I went to the Due West camp for two days, I was able to learn many important college essay tips and admission information. I was also able to consolidate my ideas for and the structure of the main common essay. The essay revisions were also extremely helpful, mainly because they were able to bring the main points out more clearly and make the essays more concise.

The Due West team is a group of professional admission officials who know US universities more than other people. I enjoyed my time working with Due West. All the team members are very professional and highly responsible, from fit finder list to essay editing. Since I am an international transfer, I took a lot of things into consideration when choosing my dream universities. Due West counselors presented me a detailed list that fit my requirements and showed me persuasive reasons why those universities are my choices. Topic Generator is another process that impressed me a lot. Due West counselors helped me open my thoughts through several discussions. I can hardly believe I can present my essay to admission officials in a unique, persuasive and impressive way. They helped to show the best of me to the admission officials and dig my unique quality fit for my dream school. I really appreciate Due West’s help during my application process. I believe they will help more Chinese students achieve their dreams of studying in US.

It is a fun experience to learn a lot of stuff in the process. I think the most important thing I learned is how to make compromises.

I got in touch with Due West four days before the deadline of early admissions application at to Stanford. Michael, Keith, and Andrew worked with me in crisis mode and finished the application on time against all odds. I was hesitant when I entered the process, but I came out completely impressed by Due West’s expertise and dedication.

I met the coolest guys who know everything about college applications in my high school years when I was desperately asking for help. Instead of just writing the essays, Due West provided me the best approaches to write and edit college essays. The hard working people in Due West actually encouraged me to stick to my dream and to finally receive the offer I really wanted. I would like to sincerely thank Andrew Sohn, Keith and Michael Novielli, who offered great help for my college applications.

Thanks to Due West, my college application process was stress free, and even to some extent, fun! I mean, having a former admissions officer of my dream school read my essays, having mock interviews with actual alumni of my dream school… what beats that?! But I think the best thing about Due West is that they understand that the college application process is not just about scores and essays; it’s about you. They truly try to understand you as a person, not just you as an applicant. As such, I was able to engage in very intellectually stimulating and philosophical conversations with Due West about my obscure essay topics (opera) and interests. Under Due West’s guidance, the college application process was a period of self-reflection and even existential cogitation. Having the opportunity to work with and get to know the Due West team has truly been a gratifying experience.
