This is our second time using Erin's expertise to help us with our children's college process. Working with Erin is a delight! Both of our children were very different in their approach to college applications, and Erin was able to support and assist both in the way they needed her. It was such an immense help to have someone guiding them and setting deadlines - it's always easier when it's not a parent! Thank you Erin!

Erin was immensely helpful to our son! He was able to research different majors and schools and complete all his applications with her guidance, yet maintain ownership of the process. Having Erin's input gave him confidence and gave us peace of mind. He was able to make his choices without being micromanaged, and when questions arose, Erin was always available and provided excellent feedback and valuable perspective.

Erin was an extremely knowledgeable partner and counselor in the college application process. She helped our son research and discover programs and set his expectations around target and reach schools. Her program makes sure students are planning ahead for deadlines as well as giving them timely feedback on essays. It was a relief to have someone watching over the process and making sure everything got done to the best possible quality. Thank you Erin!

Erin made the whole process of applying to college as stress free as possible. She worked directly with my son, which made him feel empowered and kept me from having to nag him or try to micromanage the process. She was able to keep both of us calm during such a nerve-wracking time and she went above and beyond researching the schools and program my son was interested in, which is a fairly obscure and specialized program. She was responsive and a wealth of knowledge. I have referred several friends to her as well.

We are so grateful for Erin & Arrive College Consulting in navigating the daunting process of college selection, essays and applications. She has managed all deadlines yet made my daughter completely responsible for the work throughout the process. We appreciate her expert advice at schools & programs that we may have never considered before. Early action deadlines have already been met--early even! Hiring Erin was definitely the best decision and has assuaged anxiety for parents (us!) and our student alike. Deep gratitude for all you do, Erin.

Working with Erin was amazing! I was able to be involved in the process without being the one setting deadlines and keeping them on task! Erin is incredibly organized and friendly, and my daughter adores her. I honestly can’t say anything bad about the experience. We like Erin so much that we are beginning the process with our second child this month! Looking forward to another year with Arrive College Counseling and learning about a whole new round of fun schools to look into.
Erin is fantastic! She helped my oldest with her college journey, and now we are beginning with the next in line. I'm excited to use her again! Erin is patient, organized, responsive, and kind. My daughter absolutely adored her and appreciated all the help she received. Mary Kay H Parent / Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies -Emerson College-Creative Writing ('26) |
Erin was an incredibly caring mentor for my teen during the college application process. She kept her on track without stressing her out like I probably would have. Erin kept us up to date with Eva’s progress regularly. I was secure in knowing someone was there to help. She is great! I am proud to say that my daughter received several college acceptances and scholarship awards and we have Erin to thank.

Erin gave my son structured guidance throughout the college search and application process and made sure he stuck to a schedule with deadlines; Erin's “homework” schedule and the multiple college application deadlines. I am impressed at how Erin was able to read my son’s personality and recommend schools that were a good fit for him. Erin helped my son take ownership of the process and took the stress of it completely out of my hands. This made the college search and application process less stressful on my relationship with my son, and instead, it was a positive bonding experience. My son was accepted to 8 of the 11 schools that he applied to, and a school that Erin strongly suggested he explore ended up being his choice. Hiring Erin for college counseling was the best decision I made regarding the college application process. By following Erin’s strategy for success, my son received scholarships that he would never have known about without Erin keeping him on schedule. My son is going to a highly regarded school that is a great fit for his personality, his goals and future success. It is a school that he is proud to attend, and it is Erin’s college counseling experience that led him to discover his perfect match. I will be using Erin’s services again to help my daughter who is starting high school this fall.
