"Lori Vogel at Next Step was indispensable in my son's application and acceptance to his preferred college engineering program. Her extensive knowledge, professionalism, and personal connection and passion for my son's success was highly evident throughout her many sessions with him. I would highly recommend Lori and Next Step to anyone wanting to successfully navigate the college application process. Well done!".

"Joanie provided expert advice to our daughter to help her application stand out amongst the thousands of others colleges receive! She walked us through the whole application process, not only making it easier for our daughter, but also for us!"

"Joanie’s counseling on the college application process was invaluable and kept my son on track! Her expertise was well worth the investment into my son’s future. She helped navigate some tricky areas of ROTC and USAFA applications with which most other college counselors are unfamiliar. She is a master at English and writing and helped my son keep his essays refined, polished, and on point! My son was able to get accepted into his top choice school with over $130,000.00 in total scholarship money for his four years there!"
