Testimonials

We hired Ferah to help our daughter navigate the intricacies of college admission. Her expertise in the subject matter was invaluable; from the do’s and the don’ts to managing all aspects of the college application process, our daughter was very well served. No stress, highly recommended!

Thanks to an amazing daughter and Ferah Aziz of launchphase2, I am the proud mom of a UPenn student who will be joining the class of 2021.  My daughter attended a high school with a weak college advising department.  We started working with Ferah when my daughter was a rising 10th grader because we felt at sea about how to navigate the very complicated waters of college admissions.  We got so much more from this decision than we were expecting.  Ferah helped my daughter focus on what her goals were, what college environments would be the best for her, and the way to make herself a standout to those colleges.  Ferah managed to keep her grounded in reality while also inspiring her to reach.   One of the amazing things Ferah did was help my daughter begin to build a resume that popped…whether it was advising her on growing the charity my daughter had started in her early teens, to suggesting internships and summer programs, to setting up informational meetings so my daughter could find out about schools or careers from people directly associated with them, Ferah always went the extra mile in a very creative and effective fashion. Most importantly, she listened to my daughter and tailored her advice specifically to her as an individual. My daughter got into several reach schools (though not  every single school she applied to), and a very broad array of schools that provided her with choices to make sure she could select a great fit.  We strongly urge anyone facing the daunting process of college admissions to make use of the helping hand that Ferah offers.  You will not regret it.  Oh, and start much earlier than you think!

Thank you so very much for the time you spent going over college transition tips all the guidance and support you provided to our daughter over the last year.  We know that she would not be where she is if it was not for your help.  We feel blessed that we found you to help all of us along through the very challenging process of selecting which college she should attend.  We are so very proud of our daughter and her accomplishments.  We will keep you posted and give you updates throughout her four years. Thank you again for everything.
