Perfectly responsive and professional. Worth every penny as my son received a full scholarship.

You guys helped my son to get in a good fit college how ever he started late to think about all this applications process you made it with a very good planning strategy and he is in college now.

We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with College Solutions during our daughters applicaiton process. They were there along the way through this journey from identifying colleges, choosing the proper classes to reach her goal, application and essay guidance and much more. Thanks to them our daughter achieved her dream school and will be a Clemson Tiger!

We worked with College Solutions with both of our kids. Our kids were very different and had very different interests and college profiles but Margaret and her team were great to work with. They guided, helped us pare down the list of schools, offered insight into changing acceptance criteria and kept our kids on track with deadlines. We could not have navigated the college process without them!

Margaret worked with both of my daughters all through high school through college admissions. Her knowledge and attention to detail is unmatched. She advises on high school course selection, helps with college lists- from reaches through safeties- and is TRULY AMAZING at pulling beautiful college essays out of teenagers. Both of my girls ended up at their top choice schools, could not be happier, and we are thankful every day for Margaret’s work with them. The other plus is- especially when it comes to essays is they take feedback much better from Margaret than from a parent. They want to make it good for her, so a lot of effort goes into it and it pays off a million times over when acceptances roll in! I cannot recommend College Solutions highly enough.

The in-person conversations and the knowledge of schools and their particular strengths and weaknesses so we could make the best decisions.

Both of my children were helped to compile an appropriate and sound list of colleges to apply to and were guided at each step of the way. The pressure and tension involved in the process was taken away from us as a family as CS helped assist our students with their applications. We have been able to enjoy our family time before they graduate high school without the stresses getting in the way.

I'll start with constructive: the first counselor we were paired with did not understand my daughter at all. One place the two of them were out of synch is sense of humor--he literally could not tell when she was joking, and always looked vaguely puzzled. However, it happens that he left the company and we were paired with Larry Dannenberg, who was a much better fit. The workshop with parents and students where College Solutions walked us through essay-writing prompts, etc., was super useful, as were many of Larry's tips about connecting with admissions officers at various colleges. It really is a ridiculously complicated process, and having a guide was really helpful. Ultimately my daughter ended up at a college where she is flourishing both socially and academically.
