Testimony from a pro bono client: Working with Sabra Cossentine of A College Entrance Solution exceeded our expectations in many ways. Sabra went above and beyond to find colleges that would be a very good match for our sons financially and all of the important aspects of a college fit. Sabra fully invests in the students she works with through her caring and vast up-to-date knowledge of college admissions as well as financial aid. She also knows how to gain a better award offer from a college. She personally works one-on one-with the student and she takes into consideration the priorities of the student and family. Thanks to Sabra, one of our sons saved over $116,000 for his education and our other son saved $230,000. We saw our sons grow in confidence as they worked with Sabra. This was amazing to see as one of them applied to the very competitive electrical engineering major. He was admitted to 13 of the colleges he applied to. Working with Sabra has been one of the best things we have done to help both of our sons prepare for their future. We highly recommend Sabra and her college-related services! Watsonville Family
