Resourceful
Absolutely amazing! Zehra has so much patience and is one of the most proactive people I have ever worked with! She is always available to help me and is always helping me edit my essays and push my ideas. She is an incredible mentor and counselor. She helped me brainstorm ideas on what activities I should showcase in my essays. Working with Primrose Services helped push a lot of my ideas and thinking. The brainstorming sessions helped me write about experiences and themes that still need to be covered in the application form. This allowed each essay to creatively showcase talents that may not have been otherwise conveyed.

Amazing
Zehra and the team are amazing! Instead of just managing deadlines as some services do, they take the time to get to know each student and support them through the process. They first help the student identify schools & programs of interest and then help them select coursework & activities in high school that will make their applications shine. Next, they review draft application documentation, which can be confusing and voluminous. During this time, they are accessible, responsive, professional, supportive, and kind. I'm grateful for the assistance Zehra provided to my daughters during this stressful application season.

Strategic
Zehra's experience was very impactful. She would brainstorm ideas with me to help me create essay ideas into complete essay drafts. She helped me shape my narratives by brainstorming ideas we would come up with and talk about in detail on how to write this essay and assist with the structure, etc. The essay guidance and the showcasing of my activity list were also impactful because they allowed me to generate content for community essays and specific essays for various colleges. Her knowledge of schools and the whole system is very high.

Insightful
I contacted Zehra in a panic weeks before my applications were due. She immediately called and helped me make a plan to get all my applications done in time. She has helped me brainstorm essay ideas, review drafts, set up college visits, and has helped me figure out the nuances between the UC, CSU, and Common Application.
Prior to contacting Primrose Admissions, I had written some drafts of my common application essay but didn't like it. On our very first phone call, Zehra helped me think through which activities have been the most instrumental to my life, which helped me finally figure out my essay's focus.
Zehra is very easy to contact and replies when questions arise. Whenever I needed help with something, I could set up a time to discuss it. Zehra is also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to different colleges. When I told her my major, she would ask me to look into this program or a particular lab at each school. Her knowledge has helped me write more detailed supplemental essay responses. I simply do not think I would have finished my applications in time without Zehra's organization and expertise.

We LOVE Zehra. She was a godsend to our family during the college admissions process. Twice. We were lucky enough to have her help two of our children, who have very different personalities and have very different skill sets. In both instances, she was highly accessible and responsive to their questions and concerns and was expert at keeping them on task, with the perfect tone of compassionate assertiveness. She showed perception and empathy in understanding each of our children, which colleges would suit them, and what stories they should illuminate. She is awesome and a perfect fit for families seeking college admissions consulting.

Zehra was incredibly helpful with all my needs and inquiries. She always had the best ideas to kickstart my essays and was super responsive and knowledgeable about the college admission process. I am so grateful for her guidance and support. I’m so thankful for Zehra; my college applications would not have been the same without her. She always knew exactly what I needed, was super available when I needed help, and motivated me to complete the process earlier with less stress. Primrose Admissions knows the college admissions process incredibly well. They are supportive, motivating, and experienced in making the process as smooth as possible for the student.
