•Thanks Barry! She will definitely let you know where she lands and of course we are happy to recommend- I know [my daughter] really enjoyed working with you. In my mind she has no wrong choice- they are all incredible opportunities so thank you for your help!

Hi Barry! Just wanted to let you know that I ended up committing to CalArts!! Choosing between CalArts and RISD was difficult, but the main reasons for my decision were the more affordable cost and the learning environment being a good fit for me personally.

Thank you once again for all of your help! I wouldn't even have had these choices in the first place without your guidance.

•I wanted to say that your help and guidance was invaluable. I simply don’t know if [my daughter] would have had the results she had without you! It certainly gave me confidence along the way. I would be very happy to be a reference in any way you need.

• I wanted to take a moment to express my thanks to you for counseling [my son] through a difficult time in his life. I saw a visceral change in his attitude once we arrived a Ithaca College and I truly believe this is the start of something wonderful for him.  Having not gone to college myself, I learned a lot of important things from sitting in on your counseling sessions with [him] and I appreciated it.

• I just wanted to add my thanks to you.  [My daughter] commented after our meeting that "now she is excited " about college planning.  Up until now our experiences have made her stressed, insecure, and overwhelmed.   I really appreciate your helping her see this experience can be positive and exciting.

• Hi Barry, I attended parents weekend at RISD and after attending faculty and staff lectures, alum panels and open studios, came away very impressed. I was also delighted to find such a sense of community among the students and staff. I had been worried about how artistic personalities would be able to relate to each other. [My son] is ecstatic there! Loves his classes, professors, roommate, campus! He tells me he already has made “good friends”. Clearly worth the $60K per year. It was a very good choice. Thanks again for all your wisdom and guidance!
