“In a few words, [Youthfully's] input was invaluable to my son's personal statement and responses to various application questions. While my son worked to have the necessary criteria, accomplishments, experience and volunteer work to become an excellent candidate to admission committees, [his Youth Coach] was outstanding at helping to integrate this information in a way that elevated it's worth to the school and the community and simultaneously demonstrate how he'd contribute moving forward in a genuine and valued way. The magic though is in how he assisted in creating uniqueness to my son's answers that is current and interesting for readers. This is what I think tipped the scales in my son's favour when competing against hundreds of exceptional students. [His coach] was positive, friendly, and easy to work with. He enjoys setting students up for success. Lastly, I was struck by how easy it was for him to do all of this without meeting my son or I in person and how he modelled and taught my son his way of thinking and process along the way for his future use.”

“During Joel's process, it was thorough, detailed, organized, never rushed and it was clear he wanted me to create the best possible product to my applications. I looked forward to the sessions and I feel I completed all of the steps in the application with quality and focus. Joel has an excellent process and approach to his client's applications starting with discovering his client's personalities through professional surveys, step-by-step essay completion, and his advice towards his clients when they're working with their personal achievements.”

“When my daughter began working with Joel, he suggested in order to be a strong applicant for university, she needed to work on our extracurricular activities. Based on her interests and passions, he said to work on ideas that would truly stand out. He took the time to figure her out and what would be successful for her and didn't offer preset packaged ideas. With his help my daughter started a successful business and rolled out two projects that proved popular at school. Joel also coached her, again taking the time and effort to help her prepare a customized paper that represented her in the best possible light. I strongly think that thanks to Joel's help and expertise my daughter's chance of getting into the program of her choice improve greatly.”

“We used [Youthfully's] services this year to help my daughter with her Queen's application and her Chancellor's Award. At first. I was a little skeptical hiring him over the internet and being in a different city. But in fact it worked out really, really well. He was a big help to us, to me and my daughter, and her application was very successful. She was the application award winner for her school, and she also really enjoyed working with him.”

“Initially, I was concerned about hiring someone for my son in his pursuit of admission to Mac. I had heard all sorts of stories about application services and I wanted my son to be admitted on his own merits. Joel did a wonderful job of coaching my son. He helped him develop his thoughts and express them clearly. Joel showed a great deal of patience and in the end, my son was accepted to both the Health Sciences and Integrated Science programs. This success would not have happened without Joel's help and I would recommend him to anyone looking for admission to these “hard to get into” programs.”

“[Youthfully] helped help me with my McMaster Integrated Science and Health Science application. They really made this intimidating process much less stressful and I was accepted to both programs. They did that by really outlining what the university's are going to be looking for in an application and helped me really dig down to find subjects that I'm passionate about writing and it really shows on my applications. Overall, they know what they're doing. They have a lot of experience and that shows. They have been super helpful and helped me produce a very solid application for both programs.”

“Working with Joel has been a pleasure. He offers a creative, academic and persuasive writing style. Through phone calls, he has helped me put my thoughts into words and place information through my essays to optimize my chances of acceptance. And through about two months of working together, Joel's helped me with multiple applications to which I'm submitting very confidently. I'd recommend this program for any student applying to university.”

“Because of Joel's guidance, I made big changes and improvements to my extra-curriculars, including starting a local non-profit initiative that has been quite successful. His coaching was instrumental in helping me get this initiative off the ground and I believe it's been an integral part of my application. I was successfully admitted to Queen's Commerce and now I am thriving in the program. I am continuing to run my non-profit on the side and I am excited about continuing to leverage skills and experiences that [Youthfully] and Joel has taught me.”

“This is an incredible resource that allowed me to succeed in my university application process. [My Youth Coach] walked me through a very easy and simple process that allowed me to perfect my essays and application. They not only helped with the application itself, but the consultants were invaluable resources. They were people I could talk to who were actually at my dream programs so I was able to have a first-hand experience at those schools. They were so helpful and easy to use and cannot see why everybody doesn't use this service.”
