Kate K. says, "Our family has worked with LiEr and Darran of Red Gateways for both of our childrens' college application seasons. They took the time we needed to give us an overall perspective on applying to college with our oldest, since we were new to the process. We decided after talking with them that an ala carte service, mostly for help with essays and managing application deadlines, etc. was best for our oldest since the course of study and several colleges had already been selected. We had their support and speedy communication from beginning to end.
With our second, we all decided for a more robust full-meal-deal with Red Gateway. Our son participated in several super helpful sessions with the two of them during spring of his junior year to help figure out what his preferences were in terms of a school and studies. The daunting list of thousands of schools and majors became smaller and focused. We were able to schedule a summer college road trip based on their suggestions. They also led him and other students in summer college essay workshops which helped a great deal to get the ideas flowing and so fall of senior year was not such a crunch. Knowing what schools he wanted to apply to before heading into senior year was so fantastic! Of course, there were changes of adding schools, etc., but LiEr and Darran helped us talk through those decisions too. They helped give pointers for essays and discussed with us who would be the best teachers and mentors to ask for letters of recommendations, etc.
Red Gateways equips, informs, and cheers you on, start to finish! As parents of current and former college grads, they know what is at stake, and they can help you see it all in perspective too! They are trustworthy, experienced, and wonderful to work with. All my thumbs are up!" Read more
