Dr. Brian Haig was incredibly helpful in my college application process. Even though I only started working with him during my Junior year, I was able to considerably strengthen my application profile. In addition to being a great person to work with, Dr. Haig brought tremendous amounts of knowledge and expertise within the college field. I thoroughly recommend working with Strategic College Consulting.

Dr. Brian Haig was an invaluable resource for our son’s college application process. He patiently guided us on a journey that seemed stressful and impossibly overwhelming. Thanks to him and his knowledge of the process, we were able to handle all that came with applying to college. Dr. Haig was extremely knowledgeable, available, and took the time to get to know our son to coach him effectively. He walked us through the search and application process and really helped our son write some excellent essays and build well rounded applications. Our son received many acceptances to his choice colleges. We loved working with him so much that he is now working with our daughter on her applications. We highly recommend Dr. Haig.

We had the pleasure of working with Dr. Jeff Haig throughout my daughter’s college application journey, starting mid her sophomore year, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the start, Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. He took the time to get to know my daughter, understanding her strengths, aspirations, and unique qualities, which made all the difference in crafting a compelling and authentic application. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer encouragement when the process felt overwhelming. His expertise in navigating the complexities of college admissions was invaluable. He provided insightful feedback on essays, helped my daughter explore a range of schools that truly fit her needs, and ensured every detail was meticulously attended to.

Thanks to Jeff, my daughter was accepted into top engineering programs at USC (where she will be attending), UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Purdue, UIUC, and many more. She couldn’t have done it without him.

My daughter started with Dr Brian Haig, in the summer after the 9th grade. I had some difficulty getting her to SCC but after she had a great 9th grade year, I wanted her to make a plan for college. I should be honest and say that there was resistance in getting her to SCC as she said noone else she knew was doing this .. Thankfully my daughter saw the value of solid college consulting that was indivisually tailored. A plan was made to develop a college application that told a story and showcased her strength. I want to add that when I had questions or concerns about the process, which was not often, Dr Haig would make every effort to talk things through with me in an honest and respectful way. She wanted to go to Wharton undergraduate for business but landed at UC Berkeley Haas undergraduate which I could not have been happier with. I want to add it is best to start SCC earlier than later in high school. Gratitude, Dr Brian Haig.

I started working with Brian at the end of my sophomore year. I was a little bit late to the game, with not great grades, and big hopes that somehow I could find my way to my dream school. Upon meeting his students, Brian immediately becomes their number one fan—his only intention is to bring students to realize and reach their fullest potential. His encouragement, wisdom, resources, and enthusiasm made this dream of mine feel more and more possible. And even more importantly, it motivated me to pursue the path less travelled and challenge myself to become a student that I was proud of, no matter what the outcome with colleges. I just found out yesterday that I was accepted to UCLA! I couldn't wait to call Brian, and I will forever be grateful for his passion and consideration of each individual student that he works with.

Dr. Jeff Haig helped me greatly during the college application process. Whether it was resume building, application configuration, essays, etc., Dr. Jeff Haig was able to help sharpen all corners of my college application. Thanks to his guidance, I will be attending UCLA, my dream school, in the coming fall.
