There just seems to be no end. “

There are some really great classes here, and…some really great teachers in those courses. I’m really enjoying it. And of course, thank you for all your help. I know there aren’t many schools where I’d have such a good time. “
“Dear Judy…I would just like to formally thank you for all your help in my college search. I don’t know what I would have done without your guidance. I’m pretty sure if you didn’t tell me about Colby, I wouldn’t even have applied. In the college search, I thin your honesty was probably the most useful thing. I’m someone who enjoys getting to the point and you definitely did that! I had so much fun in my college search and you played a big part in that. I feel so privileged to have had your guidance and opinion. Thanks a ton! “
“Hi Judy…Just wanted to share with you the good news that I was accepted to Harvard Business School. I’m simply thrilled about this and I’m bouncing off the walls with excitement.

“Hi Judy, I just accepted the offer to the George Brown College program! So I’m pretty excited right now. Thank you so much for finding this for me. It will be nice to go travelling knowing that I have something to look forward to. Thanks for all the help and I’ll update you along the way…”

What parents say about Judy Libman and Ambitions Educational Consulting
“I can’t find the words to thank you enough for helping M. yesterday. In a nutshell, she came back hopeful. She felt you really cared and understood her. Besides, she simply loved the binder you prepared for her and could not wait to show it to me. She considers you a “brilliant woman.” Coming from M., who is usually not generous with compliments, these words mean a lot. Thank you indeed!”

We were at [his] graduation from [college] in June and a number of his profs commented on the contribution that he made to the program. Without your help, I’m sure that [they] wouldn’t have let him into the pre-university program. He graduated with over 80% and is off to [university] in September. The change that this success has made in [our son] is quite remarkable! Many thanks for all of your efforts on his behalf.”
