Dr. Gordon knows everything about the application process from his experience on the admission committee of the University of Arizona. Besides helping me come up with a school list and a well-polished primary, Dr. Gordon has been very responsible in editing my secondaries and preparing me for my interviews. I still remember Dr. Gordon and I spent seven or eight drafts just on one 250-word secondary essay, which I believe played a huge role in my acceptance to that medical school. For a person who sometimes lacks confidence, Dr. Gordon tells me again and again to simply 'be myself'. These words really calmed me down and helped me through different types of interviews I encountered. Overall, I recommend Dr. Gordon with great enthusiasm as I wouldn’t be where I am now without his help. " ##### Medical School Admit ![Icon open-double-quote-sans-left](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/369261/Icon%20open-double-quote-sans-left.svg) #### "I highly recommend Dr. Rothman!  I got accepted into an AuD program at the school of my choice, thanks to his help! #### As an English learner,  I struggled and was overwhelmed with my essays.  Dr. Rothman took the time to know my background, my culture, my hearing loss and helped me convey these in my essays.  As a result, my essays came out clear, concise, and reader-friendly.  He also assisted me with my resume, advising me on what should be included to make it more polished and professional. #### From the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Dr. Rothman!!" ##### AUD Program Admit ![Icon open-double-quote-sans-left](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/369261/Icon%20open-double-quote-sans-left.svg) #### "Cydney was always wonderful to work with. She was not only professional but very warm and kind, and I felt that she was on my side. She was usually way faster with the work than she had to be, and she helped me to write waitlist letters that helped me better express my thoughts and highlight my strengths. I felt confident sending my letters, and I would have been completely happy, feeling that I had put my best foot forward, no matter what the outcome.   However, Cydney also helped me achieve my dream! Attending Columbia is a gift that I can never take for granted. I am so very grateful for Cydney's help and support in getting here." ##### Medical School Admit ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "address" : "1171 S.
