      <image:caption>As a first generation college student with two migrant parents, the college application process had always seemed intimidating. I had no idea where to start, and I felt completely overwhelmed.  But from our first meeting, Nick began to put my fears at ease. He formed a realistic and manageable action plan for me to navigate the many intricacies of the application process. His guidance shifted a once seemingly impossible process into a structured—and even exciting—journey for me.  Through our meetings and the many activities Nick planned for me, I learned how to look inward and dig deep into my ambitions and life experiences so that I could discover the most meaningful topic to write about. Nick helped guide me to convey my true self throughout each essay, giving constant feedback along the way. With patient guidance and thoughtful questions, he led me to articulate my aspirations and shape my ideas into meaningful essays. Nick paved the way for me to get into a school that I love, and he also gave me confidence in my voice and my future. I am endlessly grateful for his support and I could not have done it without him.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nick has been invaluable in the college application process. I had no clue how to navigate the daunting writing requirements and supplemental essays, but Nick was extremely helpful in helping me to come up with essay ideas, refine my thoughts, better understand what I was trying to say, and turn messy fragments into formed writing pieces! Nick’s advice is coherent, focused, effective, and comes quickly.  It was difficult to know what I needed to do in order to be prepared for the application process, but Nick helped me to be ready and successful in my applications! His resources for college visits, the common app essay, additional information sections, and more were perfect tools in making a scary process easier. Even when I was feeling overwhelmed and anxious, Nick was there to guide me through getting in all of my applications on time, polished, and ready to go.  I know that it was because of Nick’s advice and help that I was able to turn in the application that got me into my top-choice school!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials gallery - Callista H., Santa Monica High School ‘26, New York University ‘30</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just like countless other high schoolers, college applications initially terrified me. I always knew NYU was my dream school, but I could never have imagined that with the right help, I could actually make it come true. Being surrounded by students who had “everything figured out” was very intimidating to me, as I myself didn’t know how to navigate applications, or even where to start. As someone with a creative mindset, it was challenging for me to resonate with advisors in the admissions process, until I met with Nick.  Nick helped me approach everything, from writing essays to outlining my tasks, in a way that “clicked” in my mind. In every meeting, he made an outstanding effort to combine his knowledge about my personal strengths, and his knowledge about the admissions process, to set me up for success. With Nick’s assistance, I was even able to pursue all my extracurriculars and activities without having to sacrifice my passions to complete college admissions.  Nick made it possible for me to create essays that I was proud of, keep myself on task and organized, and manage the whole process in a way that wasn’t overwhelming to me. I couldn’t recommend Nick enough!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nick made the college application process very smooth for me and relieved the anxiety of not knowing where to start or how to word things on my application. From listing my activities to editing my essays, Nick was very detail oriented and thoughtful about the best way to convey a message.  I’ve also always struggled with writing but Nick gave very helpful and specific feedback that made the writing process very smooth. In addition, he is very organized, so you always know exactly what should be done and when it should be done, which was very helpful for me.  Overall Nick was a very good college counselor and a great person to talk to. I would not be going to USC right now if it wasn’t for his guidance and feedback.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>College applications are definitely one of the hardest and most stressful parts of high school. However, Nick made it one of the easiest and most meaningful parts of my high school journey. When I started the application process at the beginning of senior year, I was super overwhelmed and confused about where to start, and I felt extremely behind compared to my peers. However, from my first meeting with Nick, I knew he was someone who was going to turn that around. Nick structured each step of my application process in a neat and efficient way that made brainstorming essays much easier. Even when I felt like there were no good ideas in my head, Nick always found a way to take my "not as strong" ideas and help me turn them into something fascinating to read. His experience with college applications made the process incredibly productive, and I know I wouldn't have been able to get into my dream school without him. One of the most special things about Nick is his likable and eager personality. At the beginning of every meeting, he always asked how I was doing and what I had been up to that day, making each meeting feel personal and genuine. Being able to connect with Nick helped me bring out my best ideas because I felt so comfortable sharing and talking with him. It always feels good to know that someone genuinely cares about you, and Nick is someone who truly wants his students to succeed. I am so thankful for Nick and all of his help throughout my college application season, and I cannot recommend him enough!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I cannot stress how wonderful of a writing coach Nick is. I started the whole process completely unsure of the direction I wanted to go. From the initial bullet point ideas to the final drafts of every essay, Nick offered invaluable guidance every step of the way.  With his advice, my writing improved with each iteration while still feeling authentically my own. By the end of our meetings, I always felt like we had polished my responses together because of the interactive nature of each session. I couldn't be happier with my experience!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have nothing but praise for Nick and the impact he had on my college application process. I was confused and overwhelmed from the start about everything, including which colleges to apply to, how to write my essays, and even how to present myself authentically. Nick made this entire process so much easier. Throughout my applications he was patient and supportive. Nick spent time getting to know me and helped me pinpoint parts of my life I wanted to highlight to these colleges. He also ensured that I remained organized and focused with his many calendars and to-do lists. For my essays, Nick gave me amazing feedback. His advice made my personal statement more impactful, concise, and true to myself. He helped me brainstorm ideas and articulate my thoughts and experiences clearly. With Nick's guidance I was able to present my experiences in a way that felt completely personal and without feeling like someone else was speaking for me. Nick gave me the support I needed to tackle the entire college application process with confidence. With Nick helping me I was able to set realistic goals, stay on task, and ultimately get accepted into a school I had dreamed of attending. I'm so incredibly grateful that Nick was assisting me throughout this entire process and I can't thank him enough.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Working with Nick was one of the most meaningful parts of my college application journey. From the very beginning, he held me accountable in the best way—making sure I stayed on top of deadlines, followed through with my ideas, and pushed myself to go deeper. Whenever I felt stuck or unsure of how to express something, Nick had a way of asking just the right questions to help me uncover the most important details and bring out my authentic voice in my essays. I had more "a-ha moments" than I can even count, and there was even a point where I felt like I had too much material. What really set Nick apart, though, was how much he genuinely cared. He wasn't just there to help me get into college—he took the time to really understand who I was and who I wanted to become. He offered guidance, encouragement, and perspective every step of the way. I always felt heard, supported, and challenged to be my best self. I'm beyond grateful for everything Nick did for me, and I truly couldn't have done it without him. Nick has an incredible gift for balancing structure and empathy. He knew when to push and when to pause, when to give space and when to step in with clarity and support. His feedback was always thoughtful, specific, and rooted in a deep understanding of the college admissions process. But more importantly, it was grounded in a sincere desire to help me grow—not just as an applicant, but as a person. Thanks to Nick, I didn't just submit strong applications—I walked away with more confidence in who I am and what I want to contribute to the world. He helped me believe in my own story and taught me how to tell it. Any student would be lucky to have Nick in their corner.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Coming from a family of first-generation college students and being unfamiliar with the application process myself, my parents and I felt incredibly nervous about navigating it. Carnegie Mellon, my dream school, seemed like a far-fetched and almost impossible goal. However, everything changed when I started working with Nick! I didn't have a stellar GPA or a one-of-a-kind resume, but Nick provided the insight and mentorship I needed, for which I am deeply grateful. His guidance throughout my high school journey from brainstorming essay ideas, refining my short-answer responses, and enhancing my extracurricular profile was instrumental in my acceptance to Carnegie Mellon. Nick's expertise and support undeniably give you a significant leg up in the college admissions process. I am living proof of that! He transformed my above-average resume into a stellar application that earned me admission to the highly prestigious Carnegie Mellon University.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Coming into the college admissions process, I had no idea what I was doing. From creating a college list to pinpointing what I wanted to write my essays about, I felt like I had no direction and was completely overwhelmed. However, when I met Nick, it felt as if the path to success had become clear.  From our first meeting, Nick brought clarity, confidence, and patience. He took the time to get to know me, not just my grades or resume, but who I am and what I care about. He helped me figure out how to tell my story in a way that felt honest and confident, as well as find my authentic voice, encouraging me to delve deep into my experiences, turning challenges into narratives.  Nick kept me on track throughout the experience using calendars and checklists, which, for someone like me who appreciates a good to-do list, helped motivate me to get my essays and applications submitted. As for my essays, Nick took the time to give proper feedback, always giving great advice on improving my writing to make sure it was clear and concise. These tips not only helped me in the college writing process but also helped me with my other essays in school.  Nick gave me the support, confidence, and encouragement that I needed going into this process. Not only did he make it more enjoyable and exciting, but he helped me get into a school I’ve always pictured myself going to. I cannot thank Nick enough for the kindness and support he’s given me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The college application process is a beast. It feels like life or death, with everything hanging in the balance. When I started the process I was overwhelmed. Applying to film schools is hard, but applying to prestigious film schools, that have the vibe and the oddly specific major you want, feels near Herculean.  I was lucky enough to find Nick. He helped me stay motivated and refine my ideas. With his help I was slowly able to hack away at the mountains of work. He took the hordes of thoughts bouncing around my head and, through a lot of questions and conversation, helped me weave them into a specific and well thought-out vision. With Nick Soper's help, I was able to slay the dragons and get into not only my dream school, but my dream program!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the beginning of my college process, I was lost. I was naive and convinced I could manage my applications on my own, but I was very very wrong. The more I searched for a school that was the right fit for me and learned about the application process, the more I realized I was in over my head. Nick helped bring me back up and helped make a path for me. He was able to see things about me that I would have never thought would help me in my application. Nick was able to take my ideas, stories, and craziness, and was able to streamline them into a clear picture of me for colleges to see. Thank you, Nick!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Before working with Nick, I didn't realize my experiences could become such meaningful, personal stories. He guided me step by step, from initial icebreaker questions to crafting essays that truly showcased who I am and the defining moments of my high school years. The application process felt overwhelming and was a beast, but Nick's clear structure and constant encouragement kept me focused. His curated schedule for me was also a game-changer, holding me accountable and ensuring I stayed on track to meet my goals. Now that it's done, I feel incredibly satisfied knowing that my application authentically reflects my raw, personal story, a result I wouldn't have achieved without his support. :)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of my biggest struggles throughout the college application process was knowing where I stood. One day I wanted to apply to Harvard, and the next to schools I'd never even heard of. Throughout the process, Nick went beyond the role of a college counselor—he was a friend. He constantly reassured me that I could get into top institutions, and he was right! Without him, I absolutely would not have been able to get into my dream school. What I particularly liked about Nick's approach to the college application process was that he is both efficient and creative. At every meeting, I would come to him with about ten colleges to go over—that's a 40-page document—and somehow, he got through it in an hour every single time, while still giving useful feedback. Additionally, his feedback helped me bring my personal statement to the next level. The original draft I was going to submit was based on a metaphor—the advice he gave is something I still remember to this day: "If you can write the same plot without the metaphor, scrap it." After that, all of my essays—not just the personal statement—became so much more efficient and clear. Throughout the entire college application process, Nick was simultaneously kind, flexible, and made the process fun. I strongly recommend that anyone reading this hire Nick Soper as their college counselor.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a senior in high school, I applied to a few of my top choices for college and was disappointed to be waitlisted to almost all of them. I was applying blindly, without any real notion of how to create a successful application. I made the decision to take a gap year and apply again to my top choice, Northwestern, in the Early Decision pool. This time around, I worked with Nick as my mentor and learned invaluable insight into how to craft a cohesive application that let my personality and passions shine. With Nick's guidance, I submitted an application that I felt confident reflected my true capabilities and achievements, and our work together culminated in an acceptance to my dream school! I am extremely grateful to Nick for his input and support that undoubtedly changed the outcome of my application.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the beginning of my college process, I was nervous and scared. I didn't know how to approach my application and was struggling to try to find ideas to write about. After meeting with Nick for the first time, I already felt like I was in a better place. With his guidance and support, I became confident in my writing and formulation of essay ideas. Having Nick by my side helped me in so many ways and I couldn't not be more appreciative and thankful for all of our sessions. I strongly recommend Nick for anyone looking for a strong supportive mentor and counselor. Thank you so much, Nick!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nick's help during the college essay application process was invaluable. He helped me organize my ideas and spot values in aspects of my personality and everyday life which helped me to produce quality work that I was proud of. The time we spent together really helped me speak my ideas and catch details that I should or shouldn't include in my writing. I believe the quality of my essays made a difference in my acceptances and I'm forever grateful and appreciative of what Nick helped me accomplish.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Applying to college was a process that my parents and I felt was incredibly intimidating. I was unsure about the way I should present myself in my application, and both my parents and I were overwhelmed by the many steps in the application process. Nick helped me get through all of this uncertainty by presenting a very clear path in which I should begin work on my application, and also made many helpful suggestions during my brainstorming process. Nick helped me feel a lot more secure every step of the way, from crafting my college list, to finalizing my essays. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to get into one of my top picks, and I will always appreciate the support that Nick provided in helping me get here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Throughout my enduringly challenging and often bewildering college application process, Nick’s guidance was like my compass. Not only did Nick help me unscramble my thoughts, values and life goals into a cohesive set of applications that I felt proud of but also helped me grow as a writer. I am beyond grateful that I had Nick in my corner to keep me realistic yet still encouraging me to aim high in all of my endeavors. Now, I’m headed to my dream school and I couldn’t have done it without him.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I dreaded applying to college, and as time marched on and the summer of 11th grade came to an end, I knew I had to get to work. I found that Nick made a huge difference in how I felt about the application process. The security of knowing that my work was of the highest quality that I was capable of producing made things less intimidating, and gave me confidence when submitting each essay, writing prompt, and supplemental requirement. Nick was my mentor, colleague, and friend throughout. He fostered a comfortable and creative environment that allowed my best ideas to shine through, and helped contribute to my thoughts and ideas like a partner. Further, alongside all of the guidance, Nick provided the constant support that I, like most kids going through this daunting process, needed. Completing my college applications was an incredibly stressful time in my life. Knowing that Nick was in my corner to help keep me on track every step of the way turned out to be a crucial factor in my success. I can confidently say that I do not believe I would have gotten into my dream school and dream program without him. Thank you again, Nick!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I first came to Nick, I told him that I had no idea what part of the country I wanted to go to, what size school I wanted, or what I wanted to study. I was later proven that Nick was the perfect college counselor for somebody like me. He took me through a series of personality tests and insightful conversations that allowed me to envision a college experience. He was instantly relatable and validated every college-related fear I had. He took me through the process I had been dreading one step at a time, making it both manageable and enjoyable. He helped me understand the value in my own experiences, and he gave me the confidence to brag about myself for application purposes. He was always very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. It was an honor to work with Nick and I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for a stress-reduced way to apply to college.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My college application process was intense and stressful. As a prospective Bachelor of Music in Composition, I had to balance school grades, college essays, auditions, interviews, and a deluge of other moving parts. Throughout all this chaos, Nick provided a great sense of clarity. Regardless of how much I procrastinated the week before a lesson, Nick was able to help me progress and push onward. His assistance not only drastically improved my essays, but greatly heightened the level of my writing as a whole.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was nervous about applying to colleges. I remember it being a stressful time for both of my sisters, and I dreaded the day I would have to begin my first essay. It was a hectic time for me. I was taking on multiple jobs and AP classes and learning various instruments for a project I was working on. Nick helped calm my nerves during this time, and I can't thank him enough for that. He reassured me of my writing abilities while keeping me on track to meet deadlines. He gave me countless valuable pieces of advice during every one of our meetings, and he helped me understand what colleges expected for specific essays. Most importantly, Nick spent time getting to know me, which allowed him to assist me with all my writing, especially the personal essays. I can not recommend working with Nick enough to anyone about to apply to colleges. You will be more confident while writing, and the entire experience will be far more enjoyable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials gallery - Jack B., Fusion Academy ‘23, UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music ‘27</image:title>
      <image:caption>It's safe to say, I had no idea what to expect when applying to college. The essays, statements, and materials I needed to complete each application was overwhelming in number and different than anything I had ever done in school. "Call Nick" was the response my parents gave often when I was stuck not knowing what to write or how to write it. And I did call, often, and Nick was always there to help me. While he guided me to understand what each school was looking for, he stayed with me throughout the entire process. He did not just "tell" me what to do. He worked with me on ideas and structure and even the details down to sentences and paragraphs. I applied to 11 schools (top universities such as UCLA, USC, NYU, etc.) and was only rejected by one. I never imagined I could do so well during one of the most competitive college application years in history. Making it even more miraculous was the fact that I was applying to majors in these schools that only accepted 30-40 students out of thousands. While it was not an easy process, I can confidently say that I would not be where I am (committing to UCLA, my dream school) without Nick's help. He takes pride in his work and carved out time for me when I needed it most. He was a friend who cared about my goals and aspirations just as I did. Nick understood every step of the uncharted territory that is college applications. I truly can't thank him enough or recommend him more highly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials gallery - Sherrie Evans, parent of Brendan, LACHSA ’16</image:title>
      <image:caption>Attending a seminar that Nick presented at LACHSA was the best decision I made in helping my son navigate the college application process with a talent based emphasis. Having successfully ushered my 2 older children into college and graduate school, one with the use of an educational consultant and one without, I approached Nick's seminar somewhat skeptically. After one hour, my skepticism was cast aside and my enthusiasm mounted as I realized Nick had something very special to offer: credibility and competence! Nick’s services are comprehensive but you can also choose an a la carte approach, which worked fabulously well for us. His writing expertise and background were of particular interest to me especially knowing that Brendan would have to write more than 15 essays during the process. Nick proved to be the most valuable asset. Nick is calm, rational, professional, caring, supportive and extremely good at what he does. My best advice is to give yourself and your child the gift of working with Nick. I've worked with other consultants and Nick far surpassed them in every way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials gallery - Owen M., Scotts Valley High School ‘23, American University ‘27</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I started my college application process, I frankly had no clue what I was doing. The labyrinthine applications system combined with deadlines, a general lack of understanding of the university system, and a rapidly increasing workload from school resulted in me reaching out to Nick for help. The resources at his disposal and insight he had made navigating the college system much more manageable. When it came to writing the copious amounts of essays required for my applications, his help proved invaluable. I had trouble speaking candidly about my experiences, so another pair of eyes over everything was extremely valuable. He has an uncanny knack for finding the perfect phrasing for whatever sentiment I was trying to convey. He was able to blend personal experience with information that colleges and universities wanted to hear to synthesize essays that were a cut above anything I ever would have been able to write alone. His candor was refreshing, providing me with direct feedback, insight I needed to hear, and setting realistic expectations and goals necessary for success while remaining unwaveringly supportive along the way. I cannot recommend working with Nick enough and can’t even begin to express the value of his help in my educational journey.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials gallery - Nathan Y., Alameda High School ‘23, University of California - Irvine ‘27</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was first referred to Nick by a relative of mine. While at first I was reluctant to having outside help in my personal process of applying for colleges, especially at such an early time (before junior year), after meeting with him, my fear and nervousness of getting ready to apply for colleges began to turn into ease and preparedness. Nick’s writing coaching was my biggest savior when it came to fitting the stories of my life into words limits of 650, all the way down to 250. While I had many resources around me to ask advice for my PIQ’s and supplements, Nick was the only one who I could trust. Although I dreaded opening the file to see all the comments on my writing, slowly fixing each of them eventually led me to submitting all my applications with confidence. I cannot thank Nick enough for everything he has done for me, assisting me in my writing and being someone to always turn to whenever I had questions during this tough process. Time flew by so fast, and I’m excited to show him how far I’ll go in the coming years at UC Irvine.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I dreaded the beginning of my senior year–starting the daunting college applications was stressful. Nick was able to draw out a solid plan for all of my applications which significantly lowered my stress. His upbeat and easygoing attitude was enough to keep me motivated to finish my college applications. Throughout this process, Nick taught me not only to write killer essays but also taught me a lot about myself. Nick allows you to express your ideas and interests without judgment and guides you to translate them into concise and intriguing essays. His ideas, website, schedule, etc., are entirely tailored to you, which makes the process much more enjoyable and easy. I was able to fly through the process and even got into one of my top schools! Thank you so much for everything, Nick!</image:caption>
