What Students and parents are saying:

Before we started working with Diane, I was overwhelmed, worried that we would miss a step or deadline. I was also concerned about the essay and making sure it was done on time and to the best quality that my child was capable of. Having weekly actions and step by step process was very helpful. Knowing that my student had someone knowledgeable in this area guiding him through the process. I am very happy that we had Diane guiding us through this process. Every student is different but know that she is able to tailor to students needs. Not every student will need support through each step, but Diane seems to be able to tailor the support to the needs which is very helpful. It was very beneficial to have someone else work with my son on the deliverables to keep him on track.

I am so grateful for the timeline Diane set for my son that he was able to complete most of the major steps of finding schools he wanted to apply to, writing his essay and completing the common application prior to the school year getting underway. Working with Diane instilled an ownership in the college search and application process within my son which helped him mature and get invested in the experience. It took the pressure off of me and he really improved in his responsibility toward meeting deadlines, scheduling and keeping meetings with Diane independently which will help him as a college student. I love the expectations that she set for her students and both of my sons rose to the level of expectation and took ownership of their role in the college search and application process. It was an excellent experience. Diane's professionalism, organizational structure and time she took to get to know my son and help him understand what he wanted out of a college was so greatly appreciated. I would say the pressure that it takes off the parents is enormous and makes the college search process much more enjoyable and gives the ownership to the child with close guidance from Diane which helps the child prepare for college and be invested in the process which will help them not only find a good fit school but also prepare them for independence as they go off to college.

We initially contacted Diane because I felt overwhelmed with the college choices and wanted peace at home, not arguing over essays and deadlines. Diane helped us create “right fit” choices to apply to. Diane was calm, cool and collected while we feared the unknown. Diane was able to make this a great experience. We could not have done this without you!

The class was an awesome opportunity to learn more about the college application process and it left me a lot more confident in how I’m going to move forward.

I absolutely loved working with Diane! She really helped me achieve my goals on the ACT, especially in math, my weakest section. My math score increased by five points after working with her! Diane's guidance and help throughout the entirety of the testing process allowed me to attain my highest potential. I truly could not have improved as much as I did without the personal academic training I received under her.

I came into this workshop being barely prepared for college and came out so much more confident in how to apply and write my essay. Very productive in the time spent and I learned so much about what colleges want to see in my application. Would definitely recommend!

I felt uniformed about today's process and how to best prepare my sons. The most daunting was the college selection process to narrow down a university that would align with their interests. Additionally, the timelines and preparations ahead of the application submissions. The initial orientation discussion as well as appropriately timed communications on status and next steps allowed me to feel informed and aligned with the process between Diane and the boys. I enjoyed the opportunity for the boys to research and learn about different schools. This allowed them the freedom to seek out and select schools of interest. Additionally, it allowed a knowledgeable professional to both speak into the boys, keep them on schedule and ultimately have everything complete when it came time to submit applications. Engaging with a knowledgeable and experienced professional allowed for the boys to experience the selection process in an independent manner. They were responsible and accountable in a fun and active manner. Leveraging the skills and support of others and not the parents was a strong win. We viewed this as an early step toward an investment in the college experience. I would highly recommend the Matrix process. It was extremely beneficial for both the students and parents.

Diane with Matrix College Consulting is amazing! The program itself is fantastic as it can be tailored to your child’s needs. But, beyond that, Diane values your child and will help your child traverse the apprehension and anxiety associated with the college application and testing process. She makes topics relatable and instills confidence in your child. I can’t say enough about my daughter’s experience with Matrix College Consulting!

Diane helped us make a very balanced list of schools to apply to. It seemed high achieving kids that traditionally wouldn't have any issues getting into high academic schools were getting denials. Working with her took a lot of the worry away, we definitely felt more confident that it would work out. Working with Diane is worth it.

Diane's guidance regarding essays and checking applications was incredibly valuable. The essay/application feedback was critical and incredibly helpful. Our daughter appreciated having Diane as a sounding board and advocate. This was a challenging process and our daughter valued Diane's help and support.
