Hear from families I've supported
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support and guidance we received from Whitney Talmage at Essential College Consulting. As a parent navigating the complex and often overwhelming college application process, Whitney's expertise was invaluable.
​
From the very beginning, Whitney took the time to understand my daughter's unique interests, strengths, and goals. She provided tailored advice and a roadmap to help us navigate the entire application journey. Her deep knowledge of colleges and universities, the application process, and scholarship opportunities was evident in every interaction.
 
What truly sets Whitney apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She was always available to answer questions, review essays, and provide constructive feedback. Her attention to detail and dedication to helping my daughter put her best foot forward in her applications gave us peace of mind during a stressful time. Whitney's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care make her an exceptional resource for families embarking on this important journey. Thank you, Whitney, for helping our family achieve such a positive outcome. Your impact is truly remarkable!
