Dear Toby,

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for all your efforts in helping our two children gain admission to their first-choice schools. The acceptance letters from the University of Pennsylvania and Barnard College serve as testimonial to the quality of your College Prep program.

The arduous task of completing college applications ran smoothly thanks in part to the timely advice from both you and Ms. Julien Sharp. Most importantly, we found your employees to be courteous, intelligent, and devoted to the ideal that all students should benefit from having access to outstanding college preparatory plans.

Despite the fact that our home is approximately an hour away from your office, we are now certain that the drive was well worth the time it took. Tucked neatly away in that small Pinecrest office, you run a gem of a business.

Again, thank you for caring so much about our children and helping them get one step closer to fulfilling their dreams.

Sincerely,

Mr. and Mrs. Neil R. Mergler

Our son, Re Pinkcombe, saw his dream become a reality at Toby Rose’s College Prep. He was very involved with the Miami Killian JROTC program. In the 10th grade, he decided that he would attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. Thanks to Toby’s tutelage, he improved his SAT scores, increased his GPA, recorded his community service hours and wrote great essays for his college applications. Toby kept him focused on his goals and provided the resources to help him achieve them. He graduated from West Point on June 2, 2001.

Thanks Toby,

Ronald & Josie Pinkcombe

Dear Toby,

My husband and I want to thank you for all your dedication and hard work. Thanks to your personal guidance, our son Charles was awarded a full scholarship to several colleges. He could not have done it without your patience, expert knowledge, and tender loving care.

Toby,

Just a brief note to say thanks! Your experience in colleges is amazing. Without your college application program, we would have been totally lost in the process. Can you believe that now, all four of our kids have completed your program? To update – John graduated Harvard and is now at Yale Law, Bob is majoring in English at Cornell, Mary is at Duke and, last but not least, “Chuck” will be attending MIT in the fall! Many Thanks.

Emily and John

Toby,

Thank you for making a very stressful time relatively easy. Your personal touch and educational experience made all the difference. Not only did Amanda raise her SAT’s by 310 points, but your Study Skills course taught her the “art of studying.” Her grades skyrocketed and she is now a confident and motivated young lady.

Toby,

Thanks Again,
Jo Ann Russell

Toby,

Enclosed is our check for our third child, Virginia. We want her to start your college program in ninth grade. We now know how important it is to plan early. Beth sends love from Tulane and promises to bring you a banner during her Thanksgiving Holiday. She is having the “time of her life.” You were right, Tulane was the perfect fit!
