J. S. Berry Consulting, LLC

We started our journey with Jen when my daughter was a Junior in high school. Initially my daughter thought it was “too early”. As we made our way through our first college campus tours, we heard repeatedly from our campus tour guides “ start as early as you can, visit as many schools as you can” and this proved to very true. With Jens knowledge of requirements of the application process, she guided our daughter through course selection, co-curricular and community involvement her Junior and Senior year. Which also proved beneficial for acceptances. Jen built a working but relatable relationship with our daughter. Our daughter responded well to Jens suggestions and guidance. Which I feel is recognition of Jens expertise in the education and consulting field. We are almost to the end of our college search with the fortunate opportunity to have choices of top of list schools and to be able to feel confident with our daughter’s decision . Our daughter, and us as a family, benefit...

TL;DR: Jen Berry was an essential and invaluable team leader of my daughter’s college search process. My daughter had a complex academic background after studying multiple years in a Third World country in a school without any college placement support. Jen Berry to the rescue! Jen gave my daughter incredible attention, far more than one would get from a high school college placement office dealing with hundreds of students. She coached my daughter on the entire process, from making the target list, to finding a testing tutor, to working through the quirks of the Common App, to most importantly, crafting the College Essay. With an important dash of psychology, she helped my daughter manage the stress of the whole process. I cannot imagine going through the process without her.

Jennifer Berry was an absolute gem! We wouldn’t have made it through the college application process without her. She helped my sons choose the colleges best suited for them and so far nothing but acceptances coming in!! She truly cares about the kids she works with and it shows. Jenn is amazing, professional, caring and an expert in her field! I can not recommend her highly enough!!
