Todd Faubion was extremely supportive and helpful in helping me craft a compelling and stand out Statement of Purpose and supplemental essays for my graduate school applications for a Master of Public Health (MPH). His process took me through multiple drafts and really allowed me to write statements that were unique and highlighted my strengths, as well as contained all of the material that top programs are looking for. Thanks to Todd's support, I was accepted to all 6 programs that I applied to including Johns Hopkins University, Yale, Brown, and the University of Washington. As I prepare to make a final decision on where to pursue my graduate degree, I am so thankful to have had Todd help me along the way and push me to craft applications that demonstrated my passion and skills successfully to so many amazing programs. If you are thinking about working with Todd, I could not recommend him more!

We worked with Paige at Collegewise. My son found her to be super supportive, responsive, and very helpful in his writing for all the supplements and essays that were required for his many, many applications. She helped him brainstorm and hone his topics for each school. Ultimately, he got into his top choice as an out of state student, and he firmly believes it may not have happened without Paige's help. From the parent perspective, we were totally hands off. Paige was great in keeping him on track and on time for everything. We can not recommend Paige at Collegewise enough.

Although the college application process can be extremely stressful and draining, my counselor Jordan Kanarek made the process feel much more manageable and organized. Doing a dozen applications on top of school work and a fall sport should've felt overwhelming and exhausting, but with the support and help I received, it was actually a positive and rewarding process. I was ultimately extremely pleased with the result of the process and with the colleges I was accepted to, which wouldn't have been possible without Jordan.

We connected with Liz Major (counselor at CollegeWise) during High School Senior Year. Liz was a Major (no pun intended!) player in our journey and helped us a lot during the whole process. From choosing which colleges to apply to, helping managing deadlines, essay writing - and all in between. I'm so happy we had her!

Ida helped me immensely through the college application process, organizing my timeline and narrowing down my college list to a doable workload. Because of this, I was able to navigate through college applications and school without overworking, and even finished applying early so I could go on winter vacation with my family. The Essay Lab team was also very constructive and helped me a lot with editing my essays.

My experience with Collegewise (Ali Springer) was excellent. Before the process started, they matched my daughter with someone that would fit her personality. We needed someone that was kind, gentle, and not old-school. The match was perfect. Ali from day 1 made our daughter very comfortable and guided her through the process step by step. Ali helped with college selection, essay thoughts with some outline ideas and ensured all deliverables were clear. My favorite part of the process was the editing of essay(s) and helpful hints on how to make the message more powerful. As a parent, I essentially had to do very little. Ali was responsive to all of us and the end result is my daughter has lots of wonderful colleges to choose from. That defines success to me. Thank you Ali for guiding us through this painful process!

After suddenly becoming a single father, I was trying to keep my head above water as we began the college process. It was such a different landscape from when I went to school, and being busy with our new life, I knew I couldn't give the college application process the attention it needed. Luckily, we discovered Collegewise and Kaila. It was worth every penny. Kaila, my daughter's counselor, was perfect in guiding her through it all. I didn't have to worry about anything; all the application deadlines were met, and my daughter had someone to lean on as she figured out which direction she heads toward in college. Kaila was just absolutely amazing, and so is collegewise. You won't regret it.

Collegewise and their counselor, Annie, were an invaluable guide through the complicated college application process for both my children. Her professionalism and deep knowledge made an extremely stressful experience far more manageable, and her insight was invaluable. She consistently went above and beyond, especially during the most stressful and time-sensitive parts of the college application process. I would recommend their service to anyone. That said, I would stress that interviewing a few advisors first, as finding the right personality fit for your child is just as important.
