Our daughter started to work with Jodi during the second semester of her junior year. We are so glad we chose Jodi to help our daughter navigate the college process! Both my husband and I completed our college education in different countries. Therefore, we felt we needed professional guidance to make sure we all made informed decisions. We are very grateful for what Jodi did for us. Jodi is involved in every single step of the process, so I felt it was a very personalized experience. Her guidance kept our daughter on track and complete tasks on time! Thank you, Jodi!

The best decision we made on this college journey was to work with Custom College Consulting and Jodi Glou. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable and took the time to get to know our family and priorities. She was there for us at each step, giving everyone encouragement and support and keeping us on track. Her insight into which schools were the best fit and her navigation of the application process went above and beyond our expectations. Her level of detail, essay writing guidance, and time management kept us ahead of schedule, reducing the stress. She helped with course selections for junior and senior years and really took all aspects of the student into account. We can’t imagine having made it through this without her! Now on to the next chapter.

"I’m almost at a loss for words on where to begin describing my appreciation for everything Jodi did for my son through the college application process.  I was overwhelmed with the thought of starting the process. Obviously, applying to college is time-consuming, overwhelming, and emotional and Jodi is adept at navigating not only the complexities and nuances of the actual process but also the sensitivities and intricacies of family dynamics.  I am so grateful for Jodi’s support and wisdom throughout the process."
