Quinn embodies the rare combination of relentless work ethic and genuine heart that admissions officers dream of finding. While most teenagers spent last summer relaxing, he was grinding seven days a week as a NYC lifeguard, earning serious overtime pay, yet still found time to craft over twenty polished essays during his breaks. That level of discipline is extraordinary. But what sets Quinn apart isn’t just his impressive resume of acting credits, leadership roles, and academic achievements—it’s the authenticity behind it all. What I witnessed when Quinn walked into the Special Olympics gathering, where he volunteers weekly, with a genuine joy on his face, said everything: athletes light up when he walks in, with spontaneous fistbumps and hugs. You can’t fake that kind of connection. These athletes don’t care about your college admissions or your GPA; they respond to who you really are. Quinn didn’t just check boxes for college admissions. He built real relationships, worked hard, and still managed to excel academically, which is why he also sought academic tutoring to enhance his skills further. When his mom Liz called me to verify his applications were complete, it wasn’t helicopter parenting—it was a mother who knew her son’s character but couldn’t quite believe someone could actually finish everything that early and that well. His acceptances to Davidson, Binghamton, and many others, along with these school recognitions, aren’t surprises—they’re inevitabilities. Quinn earned every single one through the kind of sustained excellence that comes from internal drive, not external pressure. Colleges didn’t just admit his stats; they admitted someone who will undoubtedly contribute something meaningful to their communities, particularly through initiatives like test preparation services that help others succeed.
