The fact that my signature at the bottom of this letter is followed by “Yale Class of 2028” is in no small part due to the help– and confidence– given to me by the ACP team. Your guidance allowed me to let my own personality shine through. And Jeff, I honestly believe that the quote you suggested was one of the driving factors that got me into Yale.

A+++ for this amazing team!!! 2 of my 3 kids already have tremendous help and guidance from Jeff and Ashley. I wasn’t sure if the investment would be worth it but I was WRONG. It’s worth every penny if you follow their advice and coaching. Thanks to David, David, Jeff and Ashley!!!! your were instrumental to help our entire family to make decisions with better judgments based on your knowledge, ability to understand my kids and your dedication. THANKS!!!!

Without the help of ACP I would barely be getting through the college application process. They helped me with everything from preparing to take the SAT to reviewing my college app. and hitting submit. They made the process much more manageable and made sure I met my deadlines well before the due date. Totally worth it!

Advanced College Planning was a great decision for us. We were feeling overwhelmed and behind in the college hunt/application process. Jeff was awesome to work with not only for us as parent but for our son as well. He helped him every step of the way and worked on all the necessary documents that needed to be done and even helped guide him to potential schools. They helped write financial appeal letters, resumes, essays etc… I would highly recommend to anyone feeling unsure about this intense process. Thank you Jeff and team! Our boy is excited for school in the fall!
Endicott Class of ’22
Our son just committed to college and having Advanced College Planning help from Michael N. and all the staff was just amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. All the positive help navigating through so many college tasks, especially for us first timers going through the college process, was truly a blessing having hired ACP. I would highly recommend them, very professional, very accommodating , always available to answer all of our sons questions and all of the parents too.
Quinnipiac Class of ’23
ACP is amazing. They relieved so much stress and had an amazing plan to help me through the college application process. I was really nervous about applying to college because I had no idea what I was doing. ACP filled that void in the best way possible, guiding me to best show myself off to colleges and helping me get into my top choice schools. Thank you!!
UConn Class of ’25
We can’t say enough wonderful things about ACP! Our family would have been completely lost in the college application process without their meticulous guidance, time management, and support. The best part is that ACP even worked with our son completely virtually because we live in another state, not Connecticut! Thank you to the ACP Team from North Carolina!!!!
UNC Class of ’25
Thanks David! We couldn’t be more pleased with the ACP team. Jeff has been simply amazing and quite frankly, indispensable! He not only kept Taylor on track, but worked with him on staying positive and focused. More importantly, guided him to a positive mindset about even going to college as he was on the fence for some time. The team also help craft a stellar application and a set of appeals that not only got us in the schools we went after, but made them within budget. Go Marist! Go ACP! Much gratitude to you as well for managing my $$! Andrew and the XXXX’s!

Dear Mr. Martin,
Sometimes we surprise ourselves. If you asked me 3 years ago, where and who I would be today as a freshman in college, I would have described myself in a way that doesn’t share any similarities with who I have actually become. All because I have surprised myself.
About 3 years ago I had an epiphany and knew that I wanted to own my own car company one day. I finally rejected any doubtful thoughts pertaining to the feasibility of my dream. I was always a B average student, but I knew that was not good enough for greatness. I kept pushing myself in academics and on the track and never stopped reaching for greater levels.
Two years after my epiphany, I applied to colleges and was fairly disappointed with the results. I ended up going to UVM. Walking into the school even on day one, it just did not feel like a comfortable place I could call home. Luckily those feeling motivated me even more to attempt to transfer to the school of my dreams; Babson College. I kept pushing and with help and support behind me, I achieved it. I got into Babson, a moment I will never forget. I do not put any blame on UVM because it was my stepping stone. It let me learn about myself and gave me an opportunity to reach higher.
Thank your Mr. Martin for all of your support and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Alex S.
Dear David,
Thank you so much that you’ve done for me. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have been at Salve Regina without you. I appreciate you and the college planning staff so much.
I love Salve and haven’t even visited home because I love it so much.
School is going well. I am a cheerleader and participate in the Best Buddies program. The community has great people and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.Thank you so much and I hope all is well with you. I love college and never want to leave!!
Again thank you so much,
Alexa
Dear David,
I am writing to thank you for everything your team accomplished on behalf of my son Clayton. His dream of attending Columbia has now been realized as a direct result of the work that you have done. I extend my heartfelt gratitude because this would not have been possible without your guidance and assistance in navigating the sometimes daunting process of applying to colleges. Quite honestly, I was not sure what services you could provide that would end in a more positive result than we achieved when we independently went through this process as our middle son was applying to college.
When you met with Clayton to see which colleges he wanted to attend, you told him that he had to bring up his SAT scores to even be considered by an Ivy League school. He had already taken an SAT prep class prior to taking the exam in the fall, so I did not anticipate that his score would increase very much. You told him to take the on-line SAT prep that he could access through your service. He did not want to take the course again, however, with your encouragement and belief in him, you were able to instill the confidence and skill set that allowed him to increase his score by almost 400 points. An increase of that significance is very rare.
I believe that the work that you and your team did had a direct impact not only on his increase in SAT scores, but also on the financial aid package that he was awarded. When Charles and I read the acceptance letter, both of our mouths dropped. We were amazed with the unbelievable award offer that Columbia gave our son. Again, the sum total of your services has allowed a dream to come become a reality, and I look forward to working with you as he continues his undergraduate course of studies.
Sincerely,
Cheryl E.

Dear David,
I’m sure by now you’ve seen my financial aid package, and I wanted to thank you. When I got the first letter with my financial aid (the pitiful one) I cried because of despair, but when I got the second one, I cried for joy. In short, thank you for accepting my case.
In the fall everything seemed stacked against me, but you gave me hope that I could end up where I am today and I’m thrilled to be going to CMU next year! The (slightly) less stressful experience, in regard to financials, is thanks to you.
Sincerely,
Danielle

David and Leslie,
Now that things are all but final I wanted to take a moment to thank you both for all you’ve done, you are two of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time and you’ve changed my family’s life forever. It is pretty powerful to have that sort of impact in such a short time knowing someone. I can see why you take such pride and joy in what you do, it really shows in your actions and that is one of the main reasons I signed up for the plan which I am very excited about! I realize we were basically a 2-for-1 with you financially planning for two families, and I personally took quite a bit of time convincing, but that never stopped you from being patient, understanding and still willing to help!! That’s very commendable and you don’t find that often in life these days.
All I can offer in return is my sincere gratitude and the ability to send other families your way so you can impact their lives as you did mine. There are three families that are very near and dear to me as they all helped me get back on my feet in one way or another after Lisa passed away. I have sent them all the link to your seminar on 11.1.12 and encouraged them to go get educated as I did.
Keep an eye out for these great families and take good care of them as you did with me. Thanks again for all you’ve done and I’m looking forward to a lifelong friendship!!
Sincerely,
Everett

David,
We heard back from the top two choices, which are really the only two that Isaac is considering. Brown asked for clarification about my student loans and then sent the revised financial aid award offer below. This seems to put things in range for us! At any rate, Isaac now has his mind made up on Brown. In fact, I just got back from Providence after dropping him off for an overnight stay offered to accepted students.
Thanks for all your help with this! We could not have done it without you!
Sincerely,
Jeff
Portion of letter from Brown University:
Thank you for sending this clarification over to our office. We were able to provide you with an additional $2,580 in University Scholarship for the 2015-2016 academic year. We hope this revised award will aid you in your decision-making process and that we will see you at Brown in the fall. If you have any questions regarding the above information, please contact our office.

Bobby and Staff at ACP,
I wanted to say thank you for your advice, guidance, and motivation since my sophomore year. All of you helped me and my family immensely throughout the whole college application process. I am so thankful for all of your guidance and wise advice: I couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you for everything.

Dear Mr. Martin,
Thank you for believing in me and seeing my determination to attend the college of my dreams. I am tremendously grateful for taking the time and resources to help me through the college process and I hope I have made you proud. I plan on continuing to do so by wholeheartedly pursuing my college education. I have enjoyed working with all of Advanced College Planning and am very appreciative of your generosity towards me.
I will be attending Endicott College as an Exercise Science Major and I couldn’t be happier. I’m looking forward to seeing what my future holds.
Thank you again for making it all possible.
Sincerely,
Jesenia
