Thanks for everything over the last couple of years. I truly appreciate the attention and dedication you have shown, and I know that wihout your help, I would not be attending UPenn next year.
Abraham 2012 Senior

First of all, I wanted to thank you both for all your help this past year! I could not have made it through the college application process without you. I truly appreciate all your personal time and attention. Thank you so much for all your support.
Maya, 2011 Senior

I am so appreciative of all you have done to help me achieve this dream while staying true to myself...and staying sane. All I can say is thank you! Smiling and bleeding red and blue!
Nicole, 2012 Senior, UPenn Class of 2016

I will always be grateful for everything that you and your team have done for me. Without a doubt, if it wasn't for you I would have not been able to accomplish as much as I have. Hope you and your team have a happy and lovely Thanksgiving and thank you for everything that you have done for me.
Arturo, 2012 Senior

Mandee, you've been way way way special and not just a college counselor. You "got it". You "got us" and I know you have the intelligence, experience and instinct to "get" others with their own backgrounds! You have been in our thoughts all weekend!! It has been SUCH a pleasure to work with you! It's not goodbye. We are TOO addicted to you and see you as a person and friend now, not only as a college counselor.
Sylvia, Parent of a 2012 Graduate accepted to UPenn

Hey Barry, I leave for college in 2 days and I wanted to say thank you becuase if it weren't for your expertise, I wouldn't be here! I just wanted to say thank you.
Joey, 2011 Senior

I just wanted to send you a thank you letter so you truly know how appreciative I am for everything you have done for me. First, thank you for believing in me. Sometimes I had lost my faith in myself but your constant support helped me feel like I belonged in the Ivy world. Also, I want to thank you for pushing me. I have always worked last minute, and you really forced me to stay on the ball, which will definitely come in handy at Penn and later in life. Finally, I wanted to thank you for making my dreams a reality. You helped me along the whole way, and without you, I doubt I would now be a Quaker! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Melissa, 2010 Senior

Tulane is amazing!!! Honestly, the best thing I could have ever done.
I never forget that you're the one who made me apply (even though I didn't want to, and never in a million years thought I'd end up here), you really called that one. So thanks again, it's made all the difference.

Ashley, 2011 Senior

Thank you so much for everything! I really appreciate all your time, effort and dedication. I couldn't have done it without you and the rest of your team.
Lisa, 2012 Senior

Thank you for your support and advice in completing the application process. Because of your help, we were able to give our applications a voice and were accepted to Carnegie Mellon's School of Engineering, our #1 choice. Thanks! 
Cidre Twins, 2011 Seniors


On behalf of my brother and I, we wanted to thank you for all your help this year during the transfer admissions process. We both have been accepted to several schools and it could not have been done without your help.
Jonathan & Benjy, 2011 Transfer Students

I really would like to thank you for all of your help in the college application process. Coming from a different country, it is very difficult and can get overwhelming sometimes. We learned a lot and hopefully we will be better prepared for our daughter in 2 years.
Maria, Mother of a 2011 International Senior

What is there to say really? Without ICC, none of my success would have been possible. Thank you for giving me the tools to accomplish great things.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me with all of my applications! With your help, so far I have gotten in to every school I applied to, including UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!!!!

I could not have done it without you. Thanks again!!
Sami, 2010 Senior

We cannot thank you enough for all the support you have given us throughout this process. It is a tremendous undertaking for the child and parents and emotions run very high. You have always been there to listen, advise and comfort. Thank you.
Ronnie, Parent of a 2010 Senior

Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance! Samantha is thrilled to be going to Duke and we are thrilled for her. We really think she will love it there and it seems like a great school for her. Great academics while also fun and social. It was so great to have you help her and us through the whole process. Thanks again and get ready for Danielle!
Andrea, Mother of a 2009 Senior

Without your guidance Rachel would have never have been offered the scholarship through the MLK scholars program at NYU. You have not only been a great guidance counselor, but a real life coach. Thank you for all of your time and effort in molding my daughter. Thank you for everything!

I just got accepted to The University of Florida. We are officially 6 for 6 and couldn't be happier. Thank you for everything!
Amanda, 2009 Senior

Thank you so much for the marathon meeting you had with Austin this week to ensure his college applications would be submitted early! You must know that is the only way it would have happened! I sing your praises every time I speak to a parent that has a child in high school. So lucky I met you at NAWBO and that you are seeing Austin. I KNOW you were a GOD-SEND!
Laura, Mother of a 2009 Senior

I cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING you have done to get me to this point. You are truly an incredible woman, and I admire all of your success and devotion towards students and their own success.

Thank you so much for the push to get us going and for all your expertise. I have said before, many times, how terrific you are and I hope we can continue our relationship.

Thank you for making my daughter's wish come true!
Luz Maria, Mother of current BU Student

I wanted to tell you how accomplished I felt walking out of your house yesterday. Thank you for just making us sit and do it- and get it out of the way. I feel way ahead of the game- especially considering most of my friends have done NOTHING yet for college. I thank you so much for EVERYTHING.
Dana, Senior 2009

Thanks to the thorough preparation provided by International College Counselors, I was accepted to my dream school.
Talia, Harvard Graduate

I would never have known about the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management at NYU had it not been for Mandee. Now I am working in sports management, and love going to work every day.
Cori, NYU Graduate

Danny just successfully submitted his application. Yippee!! He made the Oct. 15th deadline he wanted to meet. Without your help it would never have been possible. And I would never have survived the process. Thanks so much again.
Anne, Mother of a 2010 Senior

I know how big of a hassle it is to work with people with procrastination problems like me. Both you and Barry have been extremely prompt and willing to work after hours and it's something I won't forget.
Arlen, 2009 Senior
