Where our students have been admitted
A look at scholarships, specialized and competitive programs, honors colleges, and the full breadth of colleges students have earned admission to while working with Personalized Pathways.
Scholarships & financial aid
A track record worth talking about
and merit-based financial aid
Personalized Pathways students have earned scholarships and merit-based financial aid worth well over $2 million, including individual awards up to $280,000, a $240,000 award to a top music program, and scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 and up at schools nationwide.
For many families, a single scholarship more than covers the full cost of working with us, and thatβs before counting a calmer, less stressful application year.

More from our families
βDr. Anthony has been instrumental to my college application success. Even before researching colleges or writing essays, she helped me combine my activities, experiences, culture, and personality into one cohesive personal statement that made everything else far more manageable.β
β Student
βIn the research process, Dr. Anthony is extremely knowledgeable about many colleges and programs, including BS/MD, scholarships, leadership programs, and honors colleges. She was able to give insight on which of my activities should be emphasized more than others.β
β Student
βI cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Anthony's essay work; 'editing' does not do it justice. I'm a utilitarian writer who struggles with word counts, and she helped me stay under the limits while adding vibrancy, all in my own voice.β
β Student
βFor special programs that involve interviews, Dr. Anthony helped me prepare in a realistic one-on-one interview, with advice afterward that left me confident and able to answer questions concisely yet thoroughly. With her help, I was accepted into all three of my top program choices.β
β Student
βCollege applications are grueling. The only thing that helped me more than being motivated to succeed was Dr. Anthony's consulting.β
β Student
βMy student was extremely stressed about applications, and I didn't know how to help. Dr. Anthony guided her through all of it, from the personal statement to essays and interviews, never writing for her but always protecting her voice. I strongly recommend her.β
β Parent
βDr. Anthony's advice has been helpful across the board. I've now watched her support three applicants, my two children and my niece, tailoring her coaching to each one and helping them show their strengths. Her writing guidance is excellent.β
