Success Stories
Hi Brenda,
This is a photo of Stuart just before the Brewer Senior Prom last weekend. Stu will attend College of William & Mary this fall, majoring in Government. We have been very pleased with the support you have provided Stu and our family over the past year. Your advice has been “spot on”. Interestingly, after you completed your initial student profile on our son, W & M was one of the schools you recommended as a great fit. Although we wandered all over the landscape looking at schools, Stu wound up right where you thought he should be. Thanks again. Our 15 year old daughter will be looking for your assistance two years from now, you may be assured!

Hi Brenda
I just wanted to thank you for all of your guidance through Erica’s college application process- From making sure Erica sent her AP scores, to telling us she can re-schedule the May SAT, to encouraging her to re-take the SAT, to suggesting her short essay topic, to helping her figure out which SAT subject tests to take and the list goes on… I feel you were instrumental in helping her get into the college of her dreams!! Thank you so very much!!

Our initial comments would be that you provide a terrific service both to the parents and potential college bound student.
1) For the parent you remove the emotion out of the process and keep everyone focused on the task at hand.
2) For the student, you serve as the third party catalyst that gets the student or child thinking about the future. God forbid kids would listen to the parents who know so little.
In some cases you provide valuable reinforcement to the child, in other cases for the parent who has no idea what the process is.
In either case the service is valuable, important and a service that is needed.

We would like to thank you for all your help in sorting out and making easy a rather difficult college search and application process. With your help, the process went smooth and very timely.
Your willingness to listen to Bess's needs were very impressive as you adjusted guided timelines to suit her needs, as well as helping her put together a package to present to the colleges/universitiesof her choice.
Without your help we would certainly still be fumbling through the process. I strongly feel the need for this expertise, which you provided, to give a parent as well the student the direction and to guide them through it.
It's a good feeling to be only in January, and she has already been accepted to all her colleges of choice.

Hi Brenda,
Thank you very much for all of your help and guidance with the whole college process. What I loved about working with you is that you took us where we were in the whole process and really met our specific needs. I liked that you did not have a standard "Option A" or "Option B" package - but instead figured out what Dan needed help with and went from there. You certainly helped make the fall of Dan's senior year a very low stress one for our family. I know Dan enjoyed working with you as well. Thanks again. We have a daughter who is a freshman .... you just may hear from us again!
...Thanks for all your help and have a Happy New Year!

" I thought you would like to see one of your clients who: 1) has graduated in four years from the College he started at (Bachelor of Science, Business Administration, with a concentration in Sports Management) and 2) has already enrolled at Springfield College for graduate coursework beginning in the Fall that will hopefully lead to a Master's degree in Exercise Science - with the ultimate goal of being a Strength and Conditioning Coach at a Division 1 College or University.
Another success story for Brenmar Associates."

Ben's words of wisdom: "Get your applications done early!"

Hi Brenda,
… I am finishing up my last semester here at McGill and I am in the process of applying to some grad schools for aerospace engineering. I am writing some letters of intent and it just reminded me of how helpful you were when I went through this process in high school. I figured I would write you a little e-mail telling you how great you are so you can post it on your website in a testimonial… thanks again for your help way back when, as I probably would have missed deadlines and written about fish in all my essays.

Brenda,
Well, I have to say it's nice to be emailing you from my new Quinnipiac email! I suppose it's not new because I just completed my first semester here. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it here and what a
perfect choice it was for me.
...Thanks again for all your help in getting me here, I really feel like I belong and it was the perfect
decision. I can't thank you enough!
