Alex did an excellent job helping me out with my application to Rotman Commerce. Alex was very helpful and profound in his knowledge and I was amazed by the quick response time. I can wholeheartedly recommend the team if you wish to pursue a top degree course in Canada.

My favourite part of the bootcamp is probably the essay examples. I like how you gave different examples for different engineering streams. I also liked your essay templates. It made me more organized and it helped me keep track of my character count.

What I really liked about the bootcamp was the essay templates that were given to help out with my answers. It alleviates a lot of stress as a student. Instead of trying to concoct an application answer out of thin air, the templates give a lot of inspiration on what to write about, and let's you keep an organized and understandable mind as you write. I also really enjoyed the samples that were shared during the bootcamp. The samples gave me a clear direction on how to perfect my choice of words, as well as what to focus on or omit in my answer. It's also really nice to have someone actually go through all the application questions and examples. I wouldn't say I disliked anything, as the entire bootcamp was very useful.

Charlie was excellent and always available to help me out in my application to Queen's Commerce. He helped me express my thoughts in an organized manner to be able to successfully articulate the best version of myself. His coaching has taught me valuable lessons that I not only applied to my application, but also ones that I will take with me in the future. I am happy to say that I've been offered to attend Queen's Commerce and other top business programs with Charlie's guidance.

I got into Queen's Commerce today. I'm incredibly happy and I wanted to thank you for everything you did to help me. I'll be sure to talk to everyone I know applying to unis next year. You were over the top, no other editor came close to your value. Thanks again Charlie.

The bootcamp modules also help you develop you as a person and encourages self-awareness, strengthening your application as a whole as well. It played an integral role in my acceptance to Queen's Commerce, and I would highly recommend it to those who are serious about their applications to the program.

My husband and I really can't thank you enough for all you have done for our daughter's admission into Queen's Commerce. You have challenged her thinking and writing, and pushed her to position her past accomplishments in ways she had not done so previously. You also gave her the confidence and initiative to begin a project that I believe she will sustain and draw further confidence from as well. You got to know her quickly and taught and motivated her in a way that she really responded to as well. I know we engaged you to assist with the application process, but I really believe your influence will stay with her and she will draw from your suggestions and interactions in the future.

I have absolutely no regrets working with Joel. He made the process of applying to universities a lot less stressful and made me consider things I never would have considered mentioning in my essays. I was accepted to Queen's Commerce and Western Ivey. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone applying!

Joel's program helped me significantly develop my leadership skills and build an application that got me admitted to McMaster Health Sciences—my dream program.

I truly cannot thank you enough for all your help in getting me into Queen's Commerce. It's been a pleasure working with you. I have learned a lot about myself through this process and you have pushed me to do many things that I wouldn't have been able to do by myself.

[Youthfully] has been working with me for the past six months in the process of putting together my Health Science application. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and in answering any questions I had to begin with. With [my Youth Coach's] help I was able to start up my first entrepreneurial project, something I'm sure I would not have been able to do without his help. Together we were able to put together an application that communicated my ideas and represented who I was as a student. I would highly recommend Joel and his expertise to anyone and I cannot thank him enough for his help.

As parents, we were really impressed with Joel's service when he helped our son navigate his way through the overwhelming university application process. His organized and directed approach to the process was very effective through personality testing, Discovery sessions, the application and advice on essay writing, he helped my son present the strongest possible application he could. He also shared specific strategies on effectively communicating accomplishments and how to represent those specific strengths and attributes as strongly as possible to allow the essence of the applicant's character and personality to really shine through. All I can say is after the first conversation with Joel we had a huge sigh of relief. His knowledge is current and relevant. He demystified the process and it was a true pleasure dealing with such a professional. I highly recommend Joel service to any applicant on their journey through the university application process.

In a few words, [Youthfully's] input was invaluable to my son's personal statement and responses to various application questions. While my son worked to have the necessary criteria, accomplishments, experience and volunteer work to become an excellent candidate to admission committees, [his Youth Coach] was outstanding at helping to integrate this information in a way that elevated it's worth to the school and the community and simultaneously demonstrate how he'd contribute moving forward in a genuine and valued way. The magic though is in how he assisted in creating uniqueness to my son's answers that is current and interesting for readers. This is what I think tipped the scales in my son's favour when competing against hundreds of exceptional students. [His coach] was positive, friendly, and easy to work with. He enjoys setting students up for success. Lastly, I was struck by how easy it was for him to do all of this without meeting my son or I in person and how he modelled and taught my son his way of thinking and process along the way for his future use.

During Joel's process, it was thorough, detailed, organized, never rushed and it was clear he wanted me to create the best possible product to my applications. I looked forward to the sessions and I feel I completed all of the steps in the application with quality and focus. Joel has an excellent process and approach to his client's applications starting with discovering his client's personalities through professional surveys, step-by-step essay completion, and his advice towards his clients when they're working with their personal achievements.

When my daughter began working with Joel, he suggested in order to be a strong applicant for university, she needed to work on our extracurricular activities. Based on her interests and passions, he said to work on ideas that would truly stand out. He took the time to figure her out and what would be successful for her and didn't offer preset packaged ideas. With his help my daughter started a successful business and rolled out two projects that proved popular at school. Joel also coached her, again taking the time and effort to help her prepare a customized paper that represented her in the best possible light. I strongly think that thanks to Joel's help and expertise my daughter's chance of getting into the program of her choice improve greatly.

We used [Youthfully's] services this year to help my daughter with her Queen's application and her Chancellor's Award. At first. I was a little skeptical hiring him over the internet and being in a different city. But in fact it worked out really, really well. He was a big help to us, to me and my daughter, and her application was very successful. She was the application award winner for her school, and she also really enjoyed working with him.
