Meg Murphy & Michael Curtin
“Dreamroots was truly a dream in guiding our twins in their college search. Dreamroots’ process helped me feel totally confident that they were getting great guidance without me being heavily involved, and this gave my children a sense of independence in the process.
What I was most impressed with is that the entire DreamRoots team truly looked at their individual interests and weighed factors such as: personality, preference for size of school, area of study, fit for their level of achievement in high school, and location to make the right match. Both of our kids got into their very top pick school, and I don’t know if this would’ve happened without Meg and her team’s guidance. They very clearly tailor their approach to the individual student, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“Meg and Michael are wonderful writing coaches and a no-stress breath of fresh air. They helped my son stay on track with his essays, brainstormed in a way that made the process truly his own, and provided great feedback. He looked forward to meetings with them and came away a more confident writer. The benefits of their coaching have stayed with him long after the application process was over.”
“This past year, I worked with Michael on a variety of college-related writing material, including my personal statement and numerous supplements. Michael not only helped me grow tremendously as a writer, but also challenged me to be truly authentic- a challenge that led me to discover more about my strengths and what I want from my college experience. Michael’s optimistic attitude and sense of humor made working on college essays enjoyable- a statement I predict relatively few seniors can relate to! ”
“Meg Murphy was an incredibly valuable resource and partner in navigating the complex college application process. First, she really listened and got to know our son, and she sought to understand his academic and professional aspirations. Then she helped him evaluate universities and programs with his specific interests in mind. Most importantly, she and Michael helped him highlight his strengths and share his unique story through powerful essays, hard-working activity descriptions and impactful supplemental materials. She was there for us 24/7 throughout the process. I don’t know how we would have done it without her!”
