“College is the first transformative life choice that high schoolers face. Like many important choices, it is messy, daunting and at times emotional. Brian helped put things into perspective, gently and persistently nudging my student to discover his own unique voice and strengths. Thanks to Brian’s mentorship, my son selected and got into a university that would best foster his interest, ability and aspirations. Brian’s insight, wisdom and care for students is priceless. We are blessed to have someone of his caliber guide us through this crucial life stage.”

“My family has known Brian for years. He is not only an exceptional professional but also a first-class person in every way. We jumped at the opportunity when he started offering college consultancy. He shone a much-needed light on a daunting process, helping my son find the right angle to present himself, and effectively organize priorities and timelines. Brian brings out the best in people and my son is a more mature and clear-eyed person because of Brian's good influence.”

“What is an intimidating process was simplified with Mr. Lohr’s expertise, and his consistent guidance in making sure that I stayed on track.”
Mac Fortino
“Our family feels truly blessed and honored to have worked with Mr. Lohr. His expertise and knowledge are exceptional, but it’s his heart for the student that shines through the most. While many college counselors seem to push students to represent themselves in a manner that’s not true to who they are, Mr. Lohr strove to learn who our son really is and helped him put that forward in his applications. The anxiety and fears that we had with the college application process were dissolved at our first meeting with Brian. He is truly a gift to any family fortunate enough to work with him!”
Melinda Choi, Mother
“Mr. Lohr’s experience in the field of college admissions is very apparent once you start working with him. He really made navigating the world of college admissions so much easier.”

“I spent the last 30 years teaching college juniors and seniors at elite universities so I thought I’d be prepared to advise my daughter about what it would take to get into the schools she was most interested in. Brian, on the other hand, spent that time learning what students have to do, and need to know, to get into the places where I taught. He is smart without being obnoxious, helpful without being condescending, and above all genuinely interested in helping your child succeed. His guidance completely altered my daughter’s approach to the application process and made it possible for her to choose between the two universities she was most interested in attending. We couldn’t be happier with the guidance he provided.”
Prof. Bob Bretz, father
