Good potential but immature platform with less than stellar support. IT can produce some directional results and the AI output can be helpful in generating ideas, but it seems to have some stability issues when using some of the sharing features. Deleted info and crippled the AI when attempting to share access between student and parent. Support has been almost no help to date in addressing resolution, only providing vague suggestions. I've also noticed their dates on critical submission deadlines to be IN ACCURATE (Dartmouth does not have an ED II). Lot's to clean up, but maybe something for consumers down the road.

My son had a very disappointing SAT prep experience for the money. The tutor was from Princeton, which was impressive, but she was very robotic and there was no connection. It was also very hard having the interaction be over Skype. I don't think they did a great job matching him up with the right tutor.

Really not worth the money. But more importantly it was a very poor experience. For two different colleges we spent considerable time drafting and refining essays. Only when we logged on to apply to the schools did we find that the essays prompts provided to us by CollegeVine turned out to be wrong. The time was wasted. They did a poor job of helping to refine our college choices and didn't seem to understand engineering at all. All in all, I spent a great deal of money and didn't get anything like the service that was promised. Find another advisor.

No one communicates with each dept. I had specific request of timelines that my daughter had to go through. Those requests were not met. I had to call multiple times to follow up as to when he tutoring was to start as they did not start the week I requested. This list can go on as I have lots more. But my experience was miserable.
