"Claudine got to know me and advised me considering what she had learned from me on a personal level."

"Professional and determined are two words that characterize Claudine. From the first interaction to the last I felt confident that I was making the right choice regarding my future. Eduplan made it very easy for me, the process of college applications was organized and prioritized, but most importantly, flawless. When the time came I found it a little complicated, applying to an American university as an international student is not easy to understand at first. However, Claudine and her team helped me step by step and contributed to my acceptance into many universities.

It did not stop there, the relationship you develop throughout the process did not stop when I got into many of my choices for college. Claudine got to know me and advised me considering what she had learned from me on a personal level. She helped me put my capacities and accomplishments into words that sounded and looked good. I cannot imagine how the application and then decision process would have been if I did not work with EduPlan. Thanks to EduPlan I got into my dream college I found a place I belong.

"Claudine is simply the best, I will always remember her with great affection as she is the person that helped me make my dream come true."

"Since I was little, I dreamed of studying Journalism at the University of Miami, however, I had recently moved from my native country, Venezuela, and my English was not the best, nor were my grades. For this reason, I began to look for other college options and gave up on my dream.

It was then that I heard about EduPlan and I explained my situation. I remember that from the very first meeting, Claudine sayd "it will not be easy but we are going to work hard so that you achieve your goal," and that is exactly how it was. Together, we worked very hard, every day, Claudine would demand more of my essays and when I thought everything was perfec and I thought I could not give more of myself, she would insist and demand more of me. Everything was worth it, today I am a senior at University of Miami, where I am double majoring in Public Relations and Broadcasting. I also work in the university's TV News Channel "UMTV" where I am producer and host of my own show. I can only thank EduPlan for giving me the tools to make my dream come true."

"Fortunately for me, I had Claudine to guide me through the process."

"Applying for college is a stressful process, especially when you don’t understand the system. Having grown up in Venezuela, I was unfamiliar with the college application process for universities in the US, and was overwhelmed by the numerous college rankings and SAT prep books. Fortunately for me, I had Claudine to guide me through the process. With her help, along with the rest of EduPlan, I was able to easily narrow down my list of schools, highlight my hard work and life experiences in my applications, and improve my oral and written communication skills. Thanks to our collaborative effort, I was admitted into the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan where I have been excelling academically and professionally"

Working with Claudine was fantastic. She is extremely dedicated and competent, more importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients’ success.

"That is why I believe EduPlan is a group that will ensure you a successful application and therefore a happy college life."

“When I first heard about EduPlan I asked myself – Why all this webpage, preparation, essays, and meetings? Now I realize that was all for an important goal – give you the opportunity to enroll into colleges that best fit for you. EduPlan is a complete organization capable of working hard with each of its consultants. The system provides you with an organizational panel where you can upload, discuss, and correct your work in a very simple way.

EduPlan provides you with a single advisor responsible for you in all your application process; he/she is the person who will explore your qualities and strengths while exposing them in your application. I admire how this organization stands improving your skills and projecting the best image of each candidate at the end of the process. I was privileged to have Dini as my counselor for a long time, I think there is no better person to guide with your application than her; the consistency, intellect, and inspiration are some of the elements that make her the best possible advisor. That is why I believe EduPlan is a group that will ensure you a successful application and therefore a happy college life. I hardly think you will find another organization as efficient as this one.

"Any student looking to gain the upper hand in the college application process should certainly seek out Claudine's expertise in the field."

“I enthusiastically recommend Claudine Vainrub’s services in preparing and guiding students throughout the college application process. My time spent working with Claudine helped me achieve my goal of gaining entrance into a top tier university.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Claudine throughout all steps of the application process. Her guidance in narrowing down my list of colleges and researching the universities best suited for my interests was extremely beneficial. She assisted me on a personal level, getting to know my strengths and weaknesses and helped me target the best programs across the nation. Ms. Vainrub’s help in preparing a professional resume was unquestionably the most beneficial aspect of the program. Her expertise in this field allowed me to gain a greater understanding of what colleges and scholarship programs are looking for. Additionally, her “personal branding” system allowed me to effectively characterize those traits that distinguished me from the other competitive candidates. Claudine also invested much time in helping me to perfect my college and scholarship essays.

I especially benefited from Claudine’s system of breaking up the application into manageable sections and setting reasonable deadlines. Her understanding of my hectic schedule and ability to personalize my college plan was another advantage of working with Claudine. Her advice was invaluable and I truly value her insight into the college application process.

Any student looking to gain the upper hand in the college application process should certainly seek out Claudine’s expertise in the field. Her enthusiasm not only facilitated the often challenging process of applying to college, it made it enjoyable!”

"Personally, I feel this process makes you find yourself."

“Applying for college is a long and hardworking process that produces stress and anxiousness; since we students feel that it is what will define our future, for which reason some of us don’t feel entirely ready to face it on our own. . This is why we seek for support. My experience with Ms. Claudine Vainrub as a college counselor was wonderful.

She is an outstanding guide who listens and understands what you want and adapts her expertise to your desires, to make you feel comfortable and assured while at the same time making you realize that to achieve those goals you need to make big efforts.

Claudine is organized and professional. She has an online program where you can find all the information you may be looking for, advice for interviews, models of essays, scholarship info and much more. During your time with her you will also have constant meetings in which you will discuss, communicate and ask as much as you want. Claudine helps you step by step to complete all your applications.

 

First she assists you in defining what you are looking for in a college, to decide where to apply considering locations, academic programs and possibilities to be accepted. You then make a list of colleges you will apply to: the safeties, the more difficult ones and the almost impossible ones. To have someone who really has knowledge about each school help you decide this is an excellent way to start, believe me.

Then she explains how the process will work, how to use the common application and what to do each week before you meet her again. This makes you work constantly and loose no time for procrastination not to kill you when deadlines approach!

Claudine assists you in filling out the Commonapp (Extracurricular, Curriculum and Essays) and Supplements for each university. This is probably the most important and stress-producing part of the application process and at the same time the part in which Claudine helps in the most professional, ethical and complete way: You work and she makes your work shine!

Personally, I feel this process makes you find yourself. Claudine gives you an independence to write your essays that not all college counselors give you (As I learned from my friends who received help from other professionals) and which for me was vital. In an essay you should feel what you are is writing and get inspired by personal experiences. You truly describe yourself and your personality in it which is what will permit you to be accepted in the right college for you. Then, undoubtedly this piece of material you composed needs to be corrected to meet the requirements and expectation of Offices of Admissions.

With Claudine, your essay will be first corrected (cut modified and commented) by an editor. Then it will be sent back to you with all those changes so you approve them or change them; In which way you are sure that what you want to express is not altered. You send it back and Claudine will personally edit it for you to finally agree to this and the essay to be not only full of your character which makes it unique but also smoothly and precisely written: the combination an essay must have to be impeccable!

When everything is ready: you feel sure with the essays you made, with everything you wrote in your commonapp, with the appearance and content of your curriculum, with your recommendation letters (This will all happen long before the deadlines if you work at the rate Claudine endorses) you will submit your applications. Claudine will then help you call the attention of colleges in many ways and to be in touch with admissions officers; which is crucial.

Claudine will be with you until you decide what college to attend. She will support you on controlling your nerves and of course on deciding where to attend afterwards.

My experience with Claudine was exactly what I was looking for. It reduced my stress during the process, permitted me to organize my path, to have everything ready on time and to be sure all my material was the best it could be. It is a fair and professional assistance. I felt I worked a lot and demonstrated who I really am which then made me feel auto realized when I received acceptances. It is the ideal help; you are told how to work, you work and then your work is made perfect! ”

"I did not only get in the university I wanted, I also gained confidence in my writing skills."

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Over a year ago I remember being very lost. When high school was almost over conversations about “the future” were common and avoiding them was my specialty. Asking a seventeen year old what they want to do with the rest of their life is truly overwhelming and I wasn’t ready to answer. I honestly had absolutely no idea how to properly apply for a university or how to begin this process. Then a friend recommended Eduplan.

After the first phone call with Dini (Claudine Vainrub, Principal of Eduplan) I felt utterly relaxed. She understood my situation and made me understand that she has managed with a lot of cases similar to mine. In that moment I took part of a very special learning process that made me know myself better and of course develop a beautiful student-teacher relationship with Dini along the way. My life was in control again and just like that I could see the blurry future clearing up.

Eduplan is not located in my country (Venezuela) but somehow I felt like it was. I never had any problem communicating with Mrs. Vainrub, knowing she had many clients she would always provide time for me with her full attention. Via Internet, phone, Skype, Gotomeeting.com, email or messenger – Dini was there. After assembling my resume came the introduction of many college and university websites for the selecting of schools that matched what I was looking for.

Writing essays is not easy but Dini was there in every step of the way. She would give her professional advice to my work still keeping in mind my style and personal impression. I learned a lot about the structure of an essay and it definitely gave me practice. Working hard together for the perfect final draft was always worth it in the end.

Working with Eduplan was truly eye opening for me. I did not only get in the University I wanted, I also gained confidence in my writing skills. Dini gave me a lot of confidence in myself and thanks to her l revealed qualities I did not know I had. Thanks to Eduplan’s guidance I was able to enroll in the University of Miami this year and even though I already finished the program I know that Dini will always be there as a teacher, mentor and friend.

"I would truly recommend working with EduPlan to anyone facing the competitive task of applying for an MBA."

"Working with Claudine has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Personally, applying to an MBA was a critical step for my professional objectives, and as a result I had a lot of pressure around defining what programs to apply for and how to position myself in the applications. Claudine provided the necessary guidance to help me finally decipher what career I was aiming towards and how my experience so far had been aligned to this objective.

Like most people I was under the impression that I knew what my career path should be, but I soon figured out that my experiences and my personal preferences actually suggested a different alternative. Figuring this out would have been impossible without Claudine and her guidance.

Regarding the application process, it’s really demanding, not only in establishing your career aspirations but also on evaluating your past experiences and giving an accurate perspective of yourself as a person. Claudine helped with each step, providing a disciplined approach to preparing the application and helping my true personality come out in through essays, resumes, etc.

Additionally, for me the interview process was a major challenge. Although I have a professional profile that business schools would value, the anxiety around the interview made me freeze. Through practice and learning how to structure stories and answers to interview questions, I was able to overcome something that had always been a challenge for me. Through all this work, I got accepted at Sloan and Booth, my first and second choice respectively.

 

Praising Claudine’s work is a great pleasure to me and I would truly recommend working with EduPlan to anyone facing the competitive task of applying for an MBA. She is not only an expert in her field and a great person to know, but a true friend and mentor."

“Claudine won’t settle for anything but the best. She won’t stop until she gets you to the college or program you want to be. She knows every loop and every trick to improve your chances of getting in and she motivates you until you do. Not only that, you can really find a friend in Claudine. I got in to the college I wanted and now I am working in a very important company. Claudine is going to be the first person I call when the time comes for me to do a master.”

"With Eduplan's support, I felt completely oriented and empowered."

Applying to a Master´s Degree can be very confusing and overwhelming. With Eduplan's support throughout this process I felt completely oriented and empowered.

Claudine was always there to answer my multiple questions, boost my application requirements, coach me for interviews and give me the best advice for my academic, professional and even personal life!

I received a merit-based scholarship at NYU´s Wagner School of Public Service, without requesting it. Getting this announcement was one of the most exciting moments in my life, and I really thank Claudine for being a great part of this major achievement.

Claudine is a person whom I really admire and appreciate. My relationship with her didn’t end with my application process, we are constantly in touch and I love counting with her mentorship and friendship along the way.

I have recommended Claudine to my close friends that are starting an application process, and I certainly recommend anyone to take advantage of the extraordinary service she provides.

“I had the opportunity to work with EduPlan for my applications for college, and I had great results, I got in where I wanted to, more specifically they advised me with the essays and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work.

"I was really nervous before my business school interview, English is not my first language and this was going to be my first experience, I took some coaching with EduPlan and they helped overcome my fears by anticipating what were going to be the main questions and thanks to that extra push I assured my acceptance in many Top Ranked Business Schools. I would recommend Eduplan to anyone looking to improve their own personal branding (for applying to college, grad school and a job), today in this competitive world it is very important to know how to display your strengths and Eduplan is the leader in that area.

"EduPlan helped me learn to present myself in an attractive light"

"With her help, I got into 4 top ten MBA programs."

Claudine is a great counselor and a better person. She genuinely cares about the people she works with and makes the extra effort to make sure thing are done right.

With her help, I got into 4 top ten MBA programs (out of 5). She helped in every step of the process, from the assessment process to the applications and training for interviews. She has great knowledge of the programs and knows how to evaluate the best fit for each candidate and where to apply to have the best chances to get in. Most importantly, after the process was done with success, I can say that I consider Claudine a friend.

"I recommend to people looking to improve their applications, and also looking to exponentially increase their success chances to attain Claudine's services, for her professionalism and kindness."

"My name is XXXXXX., I am of Spanish nationality, and was determined to continue my studies in the U.S., pursuing a Master in International Relations in USA, in one of the most prestigious schools. However, it is well known that tuition in these universities is very high, and I could hardly bear these costs, taking into account that I would travel to USA with my family.

For this reason I decided to apply to some of the scholarships available in my country (in my case Fulbright and La Caixa), hoping to obtain funding that would allow me to make the cherished studies. I knew I had a good profile that gave me the chance to succeed in securing a scholarship. However, lacked experience in these type of processes that are very competitive, which is why I decided to seek professional help. After researching on the Internet, and contacting several consultants, I finally decided to hire the consulting services of Claudine, which has helped me throughout the process from the design of the resume, the application for letters of recommendation, essay editing, and preparation for the interview.

Certainly my background made me a competitive candidate, but the help of Claudine has allowed me to raise exceptional applications, spotless and without weak points. Thus finally getting a resounding success, achieving the two grants for which I applied, which allow me to study in the USA next year with absolutely all expenses covered.

I recommend to people looking to improve their applications, and also looking to exponentially increase their success chances to attain Claudine's services, for her professionalism and kindness. However, you must not think she will write the applications for you (that's not the contracted service, and also would go against professional ethics). She will support and guide you to take full advantage of your strengths, and minimize your weaknesses, but you should keep in mind that it will take much effort on your part to successfully complete your application processes."

CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY - TEPPER MBA STUDENT

FULL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

"I can never express my full gratitude to Claudine for all the help and support she gave me in this whole process. During the whole time she was fully involved and always injecting me with energy and enthusiasm to do the best I could."

"It is my pleasure to recommend a marvelous professional, Claudine Vainrub, and to write this letter on her behalf. We worked together for almost 6 months in the preparation of my applications to an MBA. She helped me through every phase of my applications, from understanding the MBA program as a whole and the particulars of each school, to applying, interviewing, getting accepted and even getting a full scholarship.

At first she executed a series of test to pinpoint my unique value as a professional and as a human being in a process called "Personal Branding". This process lasted close to a month, during which I completed various assessments while members of my family, friends and co-workers answered questionnaires about me, my personality and my ethics in general. I was amazed by the results of this Personal Branding process, it basically captured in one single line the uniqueness that describes me.

Parallel to this, we were scouting various MBA programs and we narrowed the selection down to 3 programs and a backup MBA program, just in case. The chosen MBAs where: MBA 1 (omitted for confidentiality), MBA 2 (same), MBA 3 (same) and MBA 4 (same) (My backup school, were I could attend while living in city with my family).

The application process was for me a real pleasure, while I saw many of my friends battling to get through it, I really enjoyed it. With the guidance of Claudine, her motivation and energy, I was able to write all the essays before the first round of my three main schools, while a previous employer and my thesis tutor wrote the recommendation letters. Together we delved into the intricacies of every essay topic and choose the best life experience to match what the school was expecting from a prospective MBA student.

A couple of weeks after I confidently submitted my applications I received calls from the three schools to schedule interviews. Immediately Claudine gave me the coaching I needed to not only get through an interview successfully, but also to thrill the interviewer and leave him with a feeling of "I wish I could go back to the MBA with you". With her direction I felt absolutely comfortable in all the interviews, and that made a big difference.

Within a month after this I received the responses from the schools. Take into account that I'm a 23 year old Venezuelan and I only had at the time a little over a year of work experience, which is well below the regular requirements for an MBA.

MBA 3 put me in their Waiting List, I talked to Claudine about this and she already had a plan to start getting MBA 3's attention and get an official acceptance. The plan included diverse actions, first to write a letter, then to go visit the campus and then to follow up with a second letter trying to attack any weaknesses that they may have perceived of me as a candidate.

MBA 2 accepted me. This was a joyous moment for me and Claudine. All the work had, thank G-d, paid off, and now I was accepted to one of the top ten business schools in the country. But I couldn't decide yet, I had to wait for all the answers.

MBA 1 accepted me also. Not only they accepted me, but they offered to sponsor half of my tuition. We didn't even ask for a scholarship, which means that the application really impressed them. Now I had a tough decision to make, should I do everything in my power to get into MBA 3? Should I negotiate a scholarship with MBA 2? Should I forget about the other schools and just go to MBA 1?

At this point in time you would think that Claudine's work was over; she got me into two top business schools and even got me a scholarship in one of them. But, she counseled me and analyzed with me the pros and cons of all my options, not to make a decision for me, but to allow me to realize what my decision should be.

The first decision was not to even apply to the MBA 4, which was no match for the other programs I got in. After this, I talked to the schools without making a decision and to our surprise I immediately got a FedEx package from MBA 1. They decided to offer me the Dean's Scholarship, a full scholarship to an MBA. This was very exciting news!

Any regular person would tell you to run to MBA 1 and accept the offer. But, Claudine gave me a better recommendation, she told me to avoid making a decision only based on the money I could save, I should further analyze the kind of life I could have in each of the cities, the life my wife would have and the better return on my two year investment.

This was great advice. I took a plane with my wife to city we checked out the city, the Jewish community, the student life and many over things. At the end of the trip, we were both sure that MBA 1 was the right option, not only because of the scholarship, but more importantly for the kind of life we could live while I studied at MBA 1.

I can never express my full gratitude to Claudine for all the help and support she gave me in this whole process. During the whole time she was fully involved and always injecting me with energy and enthusiasm to do the best I could. One of the biggest surprise while working with her is that instead of me calling her and asking for her help, she was always one step ahead of me, she would call me before I did and she was fully accessible anytime.

Bottom line, I was 1000% (yes, One Thousand percent) satisfied with her work and I've recommended her to all my friends, and that is why I took the liberty to write this letter of recommendation on her behalf, because I believe everybody is entitled to know that if you are seeking for this kind of high-level assistance, in an ethical way, to apply to any program, you can find that in Claudine Vainrub.

Sincerely,

"EduPlan helped me learn to present myself in an attractive light"

"I do not want to imagine how the application process would have gone for me without EduPlan. Although my grades were good and I had honors and extracurricular activities to boast of, I realize now how unprepared I was to compete against the thousands of others who apply to the nation’s most prestigious schools every year. I was an attractive applicant, but I would not have stood out enough to break through an admissions person’s anesthetized gaze. EduPlan helped me learn to present myself in an attractive light—it taught me to make good food look good too—so that the colleges and universities would want me in their ranks, seeing what I could contribute.

They also showed me what I lacked in terms of well-roundness; rather than doing everything for me, however, they became my organizer, tenaciously prodding me to do what needed to be done so that almost everything was ready by summer’s end. Best of all, since the work was broken down into reasonable deadlines I never felt overwhelmed, good for a very stress-prone individual. I now had ample time to focus on the academic aspects of my senior year, and could still sincerely call all the hard work my own. I only wish they had accompanied me through high school, pushing me to do even more each year. Then I would have gotten into even more than nine out of the thirteen colleges I was admitted to. I am forever indebted to EduPlan, and hope other students will let themselves be guided to such incredible success-inducing results."

DUKE UNIVERSITY MBA STUDENT

"Claudine is hardworking, organized, attentive to detail, responsible, reachable when you need her, and most importantly she knows what she is doing."

"When I first started the process of an MBA I was completely lost, I did not know how to start or what to do. Thankfully someone recommended Claudine. Claudine is hardworking, organized, attentive to detail, responsible, reachable when you need her, and most importantly she knows what she is doing.  Speaking with Claudine is always a pleasure; she has a positive attitude towards the process encouraging from the beginning to end pushing you to reach your highest potential. She is full of energy and always in an excellent mood working with you until you are 100% satisfied with the results.

In my opinion Claudine is most useful to those people who:

1)         Do not know how to start the process

2)         Do not know which program fits with his/her profile

3)         Are insecure with the quality of their writing

4)         Are not sure what to write about in their essays

5)         Do not have a strong resume (I thought I had one, but she helped me develop an impressive one)

6)         Do not have the necessary funding for a program (Claudine helps you obtain scholarships)

7)         Are not familiar with the inner workings of an American University

8)         Want to connect with students who have completed MBA in the past (this is useful for networking, answering questions, and get “push” letters” to increase the probability of acceptance)

9)         Need coaching for interviews (she did a mock interview with me and the questions we practiced where very similar to that of the actual interview)

10)       Need a strong application because of a low GMAT score"

"Thanks to Dini I got accepted to several schools including Drexel University, which I attended with a scholarship (thank you again Dini), and graduated incredibly happy."

"It was an incredible and reassuring experience from start to end. If you have big goals for colleges Claudine (or Dini as you'll get to know her later on) will guide you step by step. Not only she knows the process perfectly but she also has this incredible skill which I'm yet to see anywhere else of taking your thoughts out of your head and express them perfectly in paper, even those thoughts you can't really describe yourself.

Thanks to Dini I got accepted to several schools including Drexel University, which I attended with a scholarship (thank you again Dini), and graduated incredibly happy.

I hope this review might help others who feel a little lost in this complicated process or those who just need a little extra help to reach those dreams!"

“To be honest, if it weren’t for you, I would have never attended Georgia Tech, that’s why I wanted to say thank you.”

Hi Dini!

It has been a while since last we talked. I hope all is very well.

I wanted to tell you that I am soon to be graduating from GT and I am very grateful to you for making me reconsider and change my decision to attend XXX University. While my three years in GT were not as fun as my three semesters in XXXXX town, the quality of the education that I received and the opportunities that were granted to me are incomparable.

Following my first semester at GT, I had an internship as an engineer with Disney. The quality and quantity of companies that come to recruit to GT are incredible. I will graduate in May and I will start working on Management Consulting with an Australian company. I will have to travel a lot, but I will be spending my weekend in Miami with my family and friends.

To be honest, if it weren’t for you, I would have never attended Georgia Tech, that’s why I wanted to say thank you.

"Later, when the application process starts, Claudine plays a vital role in helping you decide which school you should apply to."

In the United States, the admissions process for Universities is far from trivial. The schools consider grades, standardized test scores, extracurriculars, and more. Thus, the process of becoming a desirable candidate starts long before the actual application process does. Through conversations with admissions officers around the country, Claudine has gained deep knowledge about what each university finds desirable and helps you find the most effortless way to become that ideal candidate. Later, when the application process starts, Claudine plays a vital role in helping you decide which school you should apply to. Beyond your qualifications, Claudine considers your personality and goals. Finally, she is of extreme help when actually applying. She makes sure you have a well-planned schedule and stay on track as well as guiding you through the actual applications and the essay writing process.

Every day, Claudine demanded more of me and my essays, and when I thought that everything was already perfect and that I couldn’t give more, she insisted again and demanded a bit more

Claudine is simply the best, I will always remember her with great affection because she was the person that helped me make my dream come true.

Since I was a little girl, I dreamt of studying journalism at the University of Miami, however, I just had moved from my home country Venezuela, so my English and my grades were not the best, so I started to look into other universities and gave up on my dream.

That was when I heard about EduPlan and I told them about my situation. I remember that since the first moment, Claudine told me “It won’t be easy, but we will work hard so that you can make it”, and it was like that. Together, we worked very hard. Every day, Claudine demanded more of me and my essays, and when I though that everything was already perfect and that I couldn’t give more, she insisted again and demanded a bit more.

But everything was worth it, today I am a senior at the University of Miami, where I am completing two majors, Public Relations and Audiovisual Journalism. I also work at the university’s TV channel “UMTV” where I am a producer and anchor of my own show. I can only thank EduPlan for providing me the tools to make my dream come true.

“I was able to get into several top engineering programs and with many scholarships, all with Claudine’s help”

My experience with Claudine and EduPlan was amazing. Although she worked with so many students at the same time, she always made sure to have enough time to create a personal connection with each student to help them find the best-fit college for them. Claudine pushed me to work my hardest and get all my college applications done in time for early action (November 1st). She guided me on the right path with my essays and the common app. I was able to get into several top engineering programs and with many scholarships, all with Claudine’s help. I would highly recommend working with Claudine if you are looking for a professional college counselor.

"Eduplan made it very easy for me, the process of college applications was organized and prioritized, but most importantly, flawless."

Professional and determined are two words that characterize Claudine. From the first interaction to the last I felt confident that I was making the right choice regarding my future. Eduplan made it very easy for me, the process of college applications was organized and prioritized, but most importantly, flawless. When the time came I found it a little complicated, applying to an American University as an International Student is not easy to understand at first. However, Claudine and her team helped me step by step and contributed to my acceptance into many universities.
It did not stop there, the relationship you develop throughout the process did not stop when I got into many of my choices for college. Claudine got to know me and advised me considering what she had learned from me on a personal level. She helped me put my capacities and accomplishments into words that sounded and looked good. I cannot imagine how the application and then decision process would have been if I did not work with EduPlan. Thanks to EduPlan I got into my dream college I found a place I belong.

“I was able to figure out what I wanted to study in college.”

Having Claudine as my college counselor was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The college application process is a tough one, and thankfully I had Claudine with me every step of the way. She always made sure I was on track with my classes and was always extremely helpful navigating through each one of my applications. With her I was able to figure out what I wanted to study in college and where I wanted to go. She was the reason I got into my dream school, and so many other schools as well. I would recommend her to anyone that asked me. Without her, I would have never gotten to where I am today.

"Claudine supported me all the way!"

Marvelous consulting!!! Claudine is a very caring, respectful, patient, empathetic, trustful, and intelligent counselor! Throughout my high school career, Claudine supported me all the way!! Whenever I had an academic question or a doubt, I would always come to her, and she would always help me out and lead me in the right direction! As an immigrant, knowing nothing about college applications, Claudine guided me through the challenging process as a very knowledgeable professional! I learned so much from her and was very happy to have met her!

There is no better counseling company than EduPlan, and they’re lucky it has Claudine at the forefront

EduPlan is the perfect counseling company. It is run by Claudine Vainrub (Dini), that withher extensive experience, provides professional, personal and extremely successful help,through the very stressful process of college application.My family has used EduPlan and Dini’s help, advise and experience for the college applications of my three children. They got accepted into their first University choices and they have continued to seek her advice while in college or when applying for work.For me their experience with EduPlan, not only allowed them to attend the school of their choice, but also provided them with mechanisms to mature and learn many tools to start their freshman year. It was like taking a pre-college course in organization, writing and planning.There is no better counseling company than EduPlan, and they’re lucky it has Claudine atthe forefront.

“We were so impressed with Claudine.”

We hired Claudine to help our daughter navigate the college guidance process and it was the best decision! Our daughter was highly motivated to do well and succeed but as parents we were completely clueless as how best to guide her and frankly we didn’t have the time. Thank gd we called EduPlan. We were so impressed with Claudine. She not only met our expectations but well exceeded them! She kept in constant contact with our daughter and helped her with her course selections and extra curricular activities throughout high school. She kept our daughter organized and on top of her tasks so that she was always one step ahead of the process. When it came time to apply for colleges, our daughter was well ahead of her peers in terms of deadlines and where she needed to be. Claudine was always available to answer any questions and give guidance throughout the whole process. In the end, all of their hard work paid off as our daughter got into all her top choices and in addition managed to get great scholarships as well. We couldn’t be more grateful for Claudine’s help and would highly recommend her!

“I highly recommend working with Claudine for college admissions or anything related to education.”

Claudine helped my daughter in her college admissions process, starting in 10th grade. She guided her to become a very strong college applicant by helping her choose high school classes and consulting on her leadership and other extracurricular experiences. My daughter was admitted several super selective schools, including an ivy league college, and received merit scholarship offers. I highly recommend working with Claudine for college admissions or anything related to education.

“Claudine is very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with”

Our experience with EduPlan was outstanding. Both of my sons have worked with Claudine since freshman year. They both received personal and professional guidance from the beginning of the process until the end. This was particularly important because we were unfamiliar with the college admissions process so she gave us peace of mind. Claudine is very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Both of my sons got into their first college option. She keeps in touch with us even after the process ended. We are eternally grateful.

My experience with Claudine and EduPlan couldn’t have been any better. Claudine encouraged me to strive for my highest potential, keeping me on track with the college process at all times. Even though she was working with a few other students simultaneously, she made sure to personalize my college process. Overall, EduPlan did not only help me apply to college, but it helped me prepare for college. If you are looking for an amazing and professional college counsellor, I highly recommend Claudine.

“Claudine dealt with me like no one else ever has.”

Five stars will not suffice for the incredible services I've received from EduPlan. I could easily be one of the most difficult people to work with in the entire world and Claudine dealt with me like no one else ever has. My college application process was absolutely brutal. I applied to 22 schools and took 6 standardized tests. While EduPlan kept me organized, Claudine kept me sane. I still use many of her tips regarding the organization, test prep, and essay writing within my Collegiate education. If it wasn't for EduPlan, I don't think I'd be where I am today and I am eternally grateful for Claudine's incredible work and ability to handle so many students while constantly prioritizing each individual. I still reach out to Claudine for help with course selection or advice if I have something really important coming up and she continues to be the best advisor I've ever had. If you're looking for a good college counsellor, look no further. EduPlan is as good as it gets.

Helped me get into my dream colleges! Wouldn’t be possible without this organization, 100% recommend
