Testimonials
“Sarah Hamlin at Creative College Composition took the time to listen to my son and learn about what he wanted in a college experience. He trusted her to help him through the process and I, as the mother, was able to remain a supportive bystander rather than become the nagging motivator. The process ran so smoothly and my son will be attending a top business school next year. Huge thanks to Sarah for her dedication to my son's success!”

“Sarah is a high-schooler whisperer with an incredible gift of creating a working friendship with her students. She keeps them focused and on track, while allowing them to be themselves in everything they write. Having an extra hand in the application process allowed me to step out of the nagging mom role and into a helpful sounding board role, instead. Sarah is a voice of reason and an invaluable guide who helped us actually enjoy what could have been a very stressful time.”
— Parent of a daughter at Highland Park
“We all can point to a pivotal moment in our youth when a path became clear, a point where hopeful pursuit of a dream began. Meg helped our daughter envision a set of options she hadn’t ever considered. That extra effort and care led to that pivotal moment for our daughter. Meg changed her trajectory in such a positive way.”

“Sarah was an immense help with both our son and daughter through the college process. From start to finish she made a timeline spreadsheet, edited essays, and helped them submit their applications. The most wonderful thing about Sarah though is how well she got to know our children and know who they are and what made them tick. She cared about our kids and was their biggest cheerleader! The college application process was emotional not only for my children but for us as parents as well. We will always be thankful for Sarah’s expert guidance and support.”

“After meeting with Meg, our son came home waving his profile and grinning from ear to ear. He felt so relieved and excited to understand that it’s possible to major in something that interests him and will still lead to a fulfilling career.”

“I wanted to thank you, Ms. Graves, for all your help with the personality tests. This college process is so hard and you have made it that much easier. It was really eye opening and genuinely one of the most helpful things I have done all year. Each time I look back on the data, I learn more about myself!”
