I attended two sessions of the College Essay Bootcamp and not only did I knock out my Common App essay and a ton of other supplementals before the end of August, I also feel Lockwood Prep took my writing to the next level with their one-on-one assistance. I received a lot of useful feedback that won't just improve my college applications, but also my ability to sell myself in the future. I strongly recommend this!...

Wanted to thank Lockwood College Prep and Marissa's ACT prep class! My daughter increased her score by 4 points and reached her goal score AND she did so while taking the test with a mask and gloves on because of Covid! I highly recommend this organization and test prep service! It was very helpful and are so thankful it was available through video conferencing!...

We will be eternally grateful to Andy Lockwood, who 3 years ago saved our long term financial well being when he successfully appealed our ZERO financial aid package, and got us over $40,000/year in financial aid from Penn! Our oldest son had applied early decision to Penn after Penn's Net Price Calculator gave us a cost of attendance figure that was well within our means. To our dismay (and enormous stress) Penn's financial aid package came back with ZERO aid. That was in March, when my son had already pulled...

Pearl & Andy Lockwood have been very instrumental in educating us about the college application process. With 3 college age kids, we've benefited several years now from their ongoing informational webinars, their one-to-one guidance on specific issues and their FAFSA preparation. We paid lots of money for 2 college counseling services prior to them and found Lockwood College Prep to be the absolute best information and value, by far. And they are very entertaining to boot! I've laughed through many Lockwood...

Andy – Thank you for the years of advice provided through your emails and in person and online seminars. I wanted to point out that negotiations for a financial aid package do not need to be limited only to the time of admissions - you can "negotiate" each year. My son attends a top university that does not offer merit scholarships, so I couldn’t really avail myself of your negotiating techniques during the admissions process. However when my second child started college, we were offered more in the way of financial aid. I didn’t think it was enough and so I called and politely spoke to my son’s financial aid officer. During our conversation, he tweaked the value of our home in the computer and miraculously we got an additional $2,300. The easiest money I’ve ever earned. It happened again this year. The university arbitrarily increased the equity we have in our home by over $137,000, thereby lowering my son’s grant award. After a couple of polite emails, my child's financial aid officer again tweaked our home value in their computer to a more realistic level, increasing the grant by $4,400. Again, easy money that we never would have gotten had we not asked. It was all done with a few emails and in a few days time. My point in writing is that negotiations do not need to be limited to the admissions process. Politely ask the financial aid officer - each year - for an explanation of the award, and discuss it with them. You never know what might happen, and all it takes is a quick call or email. The worst they can say is "no." Our story shows that they sometimes have flexibility and a few thousand bucks for a few minutes of work, two years in a row, ain't bad. I wouldn’t have known to do this – or how – without your advice. Thanks for all of your help over the years. ... See More

As a CPA, I have referred many a client to Andy which in turn resulted in satisfied clients. However I am also a personal customer....through a financial aide appeals letter, Andy helped my daughter' s initial scholarship offer of $5,900 from Fordham Univ increase to over $36,000. The task of college planning and application is not a do-it-yourself process. You need the guidance of a professional. I have trusted Andy with both my own valued clients as well as my own daughter. You will be surprised at what you don't...
