Lockwood College Prep

Incredible help with essay writing and application process. Read more >

We started working with Andy and Pearl about 6 years ago when our son was a second semester sophomore in high school. He has now graduated with honors from UMichigan, Go Blue!
Andy mentioned something in a talk he gave, that my husband turned to me and said, "We can afford college!". I cannot recommend Lockwood College Prep enough, from the support we got through the application process to the financial aid consulting and FAFSA help all the way through, Lockwood Prep was our secret weapon. I have shared their information with dozens of friends and will happily continue to do so. Read more >

We loved using the Lockwood college prep for so many reasons. As someone who did not have the opportunity to attend college and never realized all the work needed to help my son get into a college including all the financial aspects Lockwood basically held our hands and walked us through everything. Starting with test prep and essay and choosing colleges all which the high school counselor never helped him address. The Tuesday coffee talks on facebook were both informative and entertaining , about how to choose a college that best suited my sons study style and had a great return on investment. (He is now doing his residency as a pharmacist.) Pearls team did all the Fasfa work and i didn't have to worry about it. They took us from college essays to the end, such a five star experience thank you Andy and Pearl. Read more >

We hired Andy at the end of our son's sophomore year. It was the best thing we ever did! We took the "soup to nuts" package and his services paid for themselves. Our son was ultimately accepted at all of the schools that he applied at and offered 9 generous scholarships. Andy's in-depth knowledge and assistance guided our family through this very stressful process; we were able to maximize our son's options and avoid some of the pitfalls that can happen along the way. His wife, Pearl, is awesome as well. She handles all of the financial aid stuff and she made sure everything we needed was filed on time for every school. Our family is very happy with Lockwood College Consulting and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We look forward to working with the Lockwoods again for our next son.

UPDATE: used Lockwood College Prep again for our other student. Managed... Read more >

Andy, I just wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional job you and your team did in helping my son navigate the challenging journey to college. Your guidance and support throughout this process were invaluable. You patiently answered all our questions and made it easier for us to make informed decisions. Because of your continuous support and my son's efforts, he was able to secure a spot at his dream college and we could not be more excited about it. We are confident that he is on the path to a bright future, thanks in large part to you and your teams unwavering support and guidance. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Lockwood College Prep!!! Read more >

Our family signed on for college financial aid advising and i cannot stress enough, how much stress was reduced by having the Lockwoods on board to help us navigate our first kid going to college. From submitting CSS & FAFSA in this bonkers time to negotiating aid, they were responsive, creative and effective! When our initial aid offer wasn't as strong as we hoped, Andy reviewed our small business P&L and helped us make the case for more funds! It worked! We actually got to a place where we can make it work and send our son to his #1 school! Read more >
