Testimonials

Ms. Aziz is part college expert, part sociologist, and part therapist. She helped to guide my daughter through choosing, applying, and deciding on a college. She provided a thoughtful and compassionate sounding board, edited essays, and kept everyone on track. She was always available by email for questions and support. I would recommend Ms. Aziz to anyone who feels a little lost with the application process or is unsure how to navigate through this stressful endeavor.

My coach was by my side as I applied to eleven very different schools, and helped me through each application, multiple essays (including those for scholarships) and my personal statement….Thank you for all of your brainstorming and proof reading! In the end, I was accepted to ten of the eleven schools, the exception being a reach school. The acceptances came with more good news, as I also received thousands of dollars from multiple merit scholarships. The hard part was choosing which school to attend, because I liked After I chose to enroll in my dream school back East (with $26K in annual scholarships), my coach helped me make the decision to defer my admissions to take a gap year to volunteer in I am very happy that I had someone experienced and knowledgeable to help me through this tricky time. My coach helped me make many decisions, and helped me even more when I made the wrong choices on my own. I am very grateful to launchphase2!

Ferah was extraordinarily helpful throughout the entire college application and decision process. At the beginning of the application season, I didn’t really know what kind of college I wanted to attend. Ferah's guidance helped me craft a college list and put my best foot forward on all my applications, and I received almost half a million dollars in merit scholarship offers and 10 amazing acceptances. Now, reflecting on my college application journey, I am confident that my decision to attend UCLA in the fall was the best choice I could have made, and that is largely because Ferah was by my side from start to finish.
