“My daughter just got accepted into her dream school. As we celebrate this great news as a family, we wanted to let you know that joining Application Nation was an incredibly helpful piece in our overall college process. We want to thank you for all of the advice, support and numerous shared resources.”
"What I like so much about Application Nation is that each family can decide how much help with the application process is right for them."

“With the dynamic nature of the application process—from precipitously dropping admission rates, the Early Decision versus Early Action process, and countless other data points—I can’t stress enough how the knowledge and contributions of the entire Application Nation team help make digestible bite-sized chunks out of this seemingly mammoth task.

What I like so much about Application Nation is that each family can decide how much help with the application process is right for them. Additionally, we always have access to the questions being asked by the other Application Nation parents and the knowledge imparted by all of the Application Nation team members on the discussion board. Having input from all the Application Nation staff about virtually every college out there and the nuances of each school is invaluable.

With my two very different children, I could not have done it without Application Nation. I will recommend Application Nation for anyone who is looking for help with the college application process.”

“I foolishly hired an independent counselor only to abandon them once I discovered Application Nation!"

“I foolishly hired an independent counselor only to abandon them once I discovered Application Nation! I had hired another counselor that charges a fixed fee, but with a direct comparison between her level of expertise/advice and what I was getting with Application Nation, it quickly became clear who we should be listening to. For instance, the thought process that goes into developing essay topics and supplemental essay strategies through Application Nation was unparalleled. I think the Application Nation model is so unique and special, and once parents understand how it works they are sold.”
"One of the things that sticks out to me most about my experience is the embracing, patient, non-judgmental attitude of the Application Nation team."

“I cannot say enough thank-yous to Sara, all the Application Nation counselors, and fellow group members. I signed on hesitantly and ended up staying much longer than expected, finding not only helpful advice but a needed support group for my first time through the college search and application process as a mom. One of the things that sticks out to me most about my experience is the embracing, patient, non-judgmental attitude of the Application Nation team. Questions are answered, often on repeat, with kindness and calm. I don’t feel scolded for asking direct questions myself.”
