Jen is amazing to work with. She is knowledgeable, easily builds rapport with students & makes them feel supported & comfortable. She helps to clarify the process, lay out plans, ease anxiety, & keeps everyone engaged in a team effort throughout. Jen also excels at helping students who live with executive functioning hurdles, ADD, ASD, etc. & understands the type of organization, materials, visuals, & communication needed in those scenarios for both the student & their parents while maintaining the independence, confidence, & autonomy for the student. We look forward to working with her again.

My two oldest kids have worked with Jen Brookover (as juniors) to help them get organized for college applications in the Fall. We are in CA and I can’t recommend Jen enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to all aspects of the college process, but what I love about Jen is she meets you where you are at and helps you find the best fit for your family.

Jen Brookover has helped my kids strategize their approach to continuing education. She's incredibly knowledgeable about academic requirements in high school and at the college level and so is able to help my kids evaluate their current options, making the best choices to set them up for future success. She's also demystified the college prep process for me and given me reassurance that my kids are making the best choices for them. Best of all, Jen clearly cares about kids. She's a great listener and takes their input seriously. She gives them confidence in themselves and their choices, setting them up to successfully take on the adult world. Having Jen as an advisor has been invaluable for this next phase in our family.

Honestly, we could not have done this process without Jen. Jen has been the BEST match for our student -- helping her navigate and reassure our student along the way. Jen worked with us on a list of schools and created an action plan. With her guidance, our student will be attending our #1 little ivy this fall and we could not be more grateful!!

Jen was a great educator on the ins and outs of the college admission process. I learned so much both about colleges and essay writing, and that really helped me with my applications. I strongly recommend her for college counseling.

Jen Brookover was extremely helpful throughout the college application process. She guided our son with summer applications ( did COSMOS) during his junior year and then with college applications. She was very quick to respond to his many many questions and provided feedback on his several essays quickly, most times within an hour. She kept us informed of where our child was in the application process. We are very grateful that our son got Jen's support and would highly recommend her to everyone.

Working with Jen was one of the best decisions I made during my graduate school application process. She provided thoughtful, detailed feedback on my essays and helped me refine my writing in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. Jen understands what admissions committees are looking for and knows how to guide you without making your essays feel over-edited. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone applying to college or grad school!

We’ve been working with Jen for almost two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. We are in the Houston area. She truly understands what high school students are going through and builds strong rapport with them. My son fully trusts her, which allows her to guide him effectively through college preparation, planning, and setting priorities. When outside factors arise, Jen helps him adjust his pace without losing momentum. She provides direct, honest feedback that he values and acts on—whether it’s refining his college list, strengthening his essays, or improving his preparation. We are so grateful for her support. Thank you, Jen! This has greatly removed the stress and complexity of the college application process.

Jen Brookover has been very helpful in my daughter’s successful college application process. She is very easy to work with and offers flexible scheduling. She has various packages with reasonable pricing options. I strongly recommend Jen!
