As we entered the process of college planning for our oldest child, we had no idea of what we didn’t know. In a word, it felt overwhelming.
My wife and I could not be happier we found Peak College Consulting. The knowledge that Rebekah Elmore provides to us and more importantly the work she does with our daughter as we begin the process of choosing a school. The work Rebekah is doing with our daughter is invaluable as she directs her in the very difficult process when making correct choices in her college education. Rebekah has a passion for her work and truly cares in our daughter succeeding in college and life. We are so pleased and have a younger daughter who will also be seeing Rebekah in the future!
Our second and third born will surely be working with Rebekah, I know my limitations as a parent. I am leaving senior year to the experts!
Immediately upon meeting Rebekah we both felt that this process could be navigated much easier with the help of a seasoned professional. What impressed us both the most was how she interacted with our daughter at our first family meeting. It was clear from the outset that she would be allowed to find her own voice in the process of selecting a school that would best meet her needs and wants. Rebekah took the time to get to really know our daughter and helped her find schools that met all of her "must haves." Our daughter was accepted at all of the schools she applied to and is in the process of making her decision. To say that our choice to work with Rebekah was a wise one would be an understatement. It has had an extremely positive impact on what can be a stressful time for families.
Rebekah goes above and beyond for her students and families. When our daughter got accepted into her top choice college, Rebekah was genuinely as excited as we were, hanging balloons in front of our house in the school colors, the day she committed!
It was the dig-down deep questions Rebekah asked that helped Abigail find the courage to explore colleges beyond her comfort zone and the brutally honest questions about money, religion and even politics that helped us choose a select group of colleges to which Abigail submitted applications. But the most important benefit of working with Rebekah was the trusting relationship she developed with Abigail. Rebekah stayed on top of deadlines, developed strategies for drafting essays that helped Abi communicate through writing what makes her a truly unique individual, and most of all cheered her on when the acceptances started rolling in.
Peak College Consulting helped make the college process beyond positive, from beginning to end! From the very first meeting we felt comfortable in the capable hands of Rebekah. Through essay writing, ACT practice tests, detailed profiles on the schools being considered and endless pep talks, Rebekah kept our daughter on track and focused on her goals. By October of her senior year, our daughter was fully prepared and she applied to seven competitive nursing programs, each one a perfect fit for her learning style and interests.
The process of applying to college has changed entirely since I was in high school. Students face an overwhelming number of decisions to make and an application process that has somehow become more complex despite being driven by technology. Rebekah calmly guided my son through this process, helped him dig deep to better understand himself, thereby making more informed and focused school choices. My son was admitted to his first choice university, as well as several other schools that would have also been an great fit for him. He received several generous offers of merit scholarships, which was a pleasant surprise. What impressed us the most is that Rebekah genuinely cares about the students she works with, and develops an effortless rapport with them, which helps diffuse the emotions students bring to the college application process. My daughter will be graduating in 2019, and we can't wait for her to begin working with Rebekah.
We have learned through experience that the college process DOES NOT need to be stressful! I can, without hesitation, recommend Peak College Consulting to all high school families!
There are some aspects of parenting that are better left to the professionals. Did you teach your child how to read, or did you support what they learned in school with snuggles and stories at night? Did you teach your child to ski or did you force them into lessons entrusting strangers with your child a mile high in the air on a ski lift? Well traversing the college application process is not all that different. It is not just keeping one’s sanity, but there truly is too much to know about the business of “college” to be an effective guide for our children, so I turned to Peak College Consulting for assistance. Rebekah Elmore, the founder of Peak, was a beacon of light guiding us through the challenge of selecting a college for our first born, Abigail.

Abigail applied to a total of 6 schools and was accepted to 5. What happened to that 6th, well that was the one Abigail chose, last minute out of the blue that Rebekah didn’t think quite fit her profile. In the fall my daughter is headed to California to earn a degree in Environmental Studies at San Diego State University; a school with over 30K students. She is able to peruse her dreams not only because she worked hard and earned it , but because Rebekah’s expertise helped Abigail package her accomplishments and portray her individualism in a way that made her stand out in an enormous, competitive field.
