What our clients say
Mr. Clark paid attention to each of his students, getting to know them and their ambitions. Somebody was always ready to answer my questions in-depth, and often, I would get answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. My essay was also something I struggled with, but with Mr. Clark, I found a way to convey my voice and personality in the way I wanted rather than what colleges wanted to hear.
Clark Consulting was a big help with every aspect of my college process; from essay writing to choosing the best school for me. He was always available for any questions I had and I’m not sure I could have done it without him.
I could not have asked for a better college consultant in the college decision making process. Ryan helped make my journey easy and decreased the difficulty when it came to writing my personal essays. Ryan is so patient, kind, helpful, and understanding. I will never stop recommending him!
