Lockwood College Prep

We worked with Lockwood College Prep for a second time to help our middle son, Jude, navigate the college application process. We were once again very grateful for Andy and Pearl’s support and guidance. From the beginning, they were instrumental in making the experience smooth and so much less stressful. Andy helped us create a thoughtful, well-rounded list of schools that fit Jude’s interests and goals, while also ensuring that his application showcased not only his accomplishments but his individual personality and potential. Pearl made the financial aid process a breeze, taking the worry out of what would have been an overwhelming task! Thanks to their expertise and dedication, Jude was accepted to one of his top choices, Providence College, and he couldn’t be happier there. We wholeheartedly recommend the Lockwood team to any family looking for expert advice and support throughout...

We signed up for Lockwood college prep when our first child was applying to college ,as parents ,we didn’t go to school in the states therefore we found the process daunting and we weren’t very familiar with the process . However Andy,Pearl and the entire Lockwood team made the experience completely stress free.They provided invaluable assistance with essay writing, compiling college lists, listing accomplishments,completing the CSS Profile and the dreaded FASFA application.
Our satisfaction with the Lockwood’s college prep team was so high that we signed our next two children as well .
Our first two children got into their dream colleges and our last child has received most of her acceptances to college ,she will be attending in the fall .
We cannot emphasize enough how invaluable their guidance and support have been throughout this journey.

Andy was extremely helpful during the college selection and application process. I signed up for the soup to nuts, entire package so he and Pearl were my go-to for everything college planning related. They even filled out the CSS and FAFSA for me. My child worked mostly with Andy and then with his team for the essays. ALL I NEED TO SAY IS.... WE ARE 2/2!! Both of my children got into their first choice school. I fully believe my son got into his dream Top 20 based on Andy's advice. Thank you so much Andy and team!

Andy and Pearl are an exceptional team, guiding families through the entire college application process. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for both students and parents have significantly impacted our college application journey for both of our children (Jack and Kaitlyn).
From the outset, Andy and his outstanding team took the time to understand our goals for each child. They provided personalized guidance and support, making the complex college application process manageable. Their extensive knowledge of various colleges and programs is invaluable, and their relatable approach stems from their own experiences. They transform a daunting process into a manageable one, allowing families to maintain a calm and healthy relationship with their children. Andy and Pearl's realistic and informative approach, combined with their comforting sense of humor, ensures support...

My Name is Nicholas Nitis and had been through 2 College counselors for my Daughter. I totally wasted my money. My wife and I were at wits end and someone mentioned Lockwood College Prep and of course I was skeptical. The first time I spoke to Andy Lockwood I felt comfortable. From the very beginning of the process of applications editing of essays, financial planning and college tours ,Lockwood's staff were priceless. Andy and Pearl were available at anytime to calm the water in this process. Andy and staff gave weekly and most times twice a week zoom meetings one on one to edit and make suggestions with my Daughters Essays. The applications were a process and filled out perfectly. No information was sent without review from my Daughter and Lockwood. My Daughter was accepted to 75% of the schools she applied to and chose Notre Dame. She also made the Deans List in her first...

Andy and Pearl made the process of getting into college actually pleasant . I was told by coworkers that the process is like having a part time job without the pay.
They were so helpful with my son 5 years ago, and recently with my daughter last year. They are both very happy with their university choices. I’m happy I went to Lockwood

Andy, Pearl and team are an absolute gem! They really care and worked hard to get the best result for us. My three children benefited greatly with their help through the confusing maze of the different school requirements. They worked personally with each of my children, each of course with different personality and interest, to submit the best application possible. There were many questions, and deadlines. But Andy and Pearl were always there for us, providing answers, and making sure deadlines are kept. I slept better at night because of them. Highly recommend!!!
