“Elisabeth Hahn is an exceptional consultant and was an absolute joy to work with. Her guidance had a profoundly positive impact not only on our son’s life, but our entire family.
She is deeply committed to the well-being of her students—not just academically, but as whole individuals—and her dedication extends far beyond the bounds of traditional college counseling.
She brings a rare and highly sought-after combination of insight, creativity, and compassion to her work. Her deep experience and unparalleled knowledge make her an invaluable asset in the college admissions process. With her expert guidance, our son was admitted to several top Ivy League institutions.
We are incredibly grateful for Elisabeth’s support. She genuinely cares, and that heartfelt commitment makes a real, lasting difference.”

“I believe the nature of Elisabeth’s role often attracts students who are naturally bursting with creative energy that can be tricky to distill into a clear and cohesive narrative— yet when I worked with Elisabeth, she demonstrated a remarkable ability to nurture and harness that enthusiasm without dampening the passionate spark.
She is a true collaborator and I felt my ideas and perspective were deeply respected and valued regardless of my youth. To this day, I am profoundly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I am confident Elisabeth’s guidance and expertise will continue to empower talented individuals to forge a path that is authentically their own.”

“Elisabeth provided the precise guidance and support I needed to help me find my voice and strengths. She encouraged me to be ambitious in my extracurriculars and academics, providing attention and responsiveness that I was not receiving from the counselors at my large public school.
Elisabeth struck the delicate balance of pushing me to be a competitive applicant and undertake challenging coursework and research projects, while being very aware of the pressures on high school students and the importance of my wellbeing.
I always felt comfortable bringing my concerns and talking through different options with her. Moreover, Elisabeth helped me find my narrative, sifting out a coherent thread from my wide-ranging interests and engagements. As a young student, it can be difficult to find one’s footing and craft a truthful application that also maintains the level of strategy that is required for competitive college admissions. I found Elisabeth’s capacity to tie together the various aspects of my identity and interests into a compelling story to be immensely helpful, giving me confidence in my story and voice. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her sharp writing and editing skills, supportiveness, and holistic view of the students she supports.”
