Matthew Tatelman - Highly Recommend
Matthew Tatelman at Solomon Admissions Consulting has been an exceptional partner to our family throughout the college admissions journey. From the very beginning, he brought a level of expertise, rigor, and discipline that immediately gave us confidence in him and the overall process. He is results-oriented, highly organized, and extremely knowledgeable about how admissions work today. Matthew’s deep professional experience in academic advising, combined with his background in reading college applications at highly selective schools, enabled us to gain a clear and realistic picture of what to expect and how to help our daughter prioritize her time and extracurricular activities with purpose. He truly knows what matters to admissions committees and guided our student in building a cohesive narrative that reflects her strengths, passions, and aspirations. Additionally, his insights brought structure and clarity to what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming and confusing experience. Matthew worked directly with our daughter throughout the process while keeping us in the loop through email and regular family touchpoints. He was consistently responsive to our questions and concerns, yet he always ensured that our daughter’s needs, voice, and goals remained the priority. That balance—supporting the family while empowering the student—made the experience feel both collaborative and student-centered. Solomon’s approach to the college admissions process is thoughtful, comprehensive, and deadline driven. From building a cohesive resume at the start of the engagement to completing the Common App and supplemental essays, the team’s focus on excellence is tangible at every step. Our daughter always felt supported, guided, and pushed toward a higher standard. We highly recommend Matthew Tatelman and Solomon Admissions Consulting to any family seeking expert, strategic guidance through the admissions process. We are truly grateful for Matthew’s support in helping our daughter be admitted to her Early Decision school.
