Kaila Brown was such a supportive partner during my daughter's college application journey! From the very beginning, she helped brainstorm and refine a list of colleges that truly aligned with my daughter’s interests, strengths, and long-term goals. Kaila brings an aura of calm to what can often feel like an overwhelming process, serving as a reassuring sounding board that significantly eased my daughter's anxiety. Her exceptional organizational and communication skills ensured my daughter stayed ahead of every deadline, dramatically reducing stress and allowing her to focus on presenting her best self. Just as important, Kaila strikes the perfect balance between positivity and realism—encouraging without overpromising. We are grateful for Kaila's expertise and would highly recommend her without hesitation!

We can’t say enough good things about Tanner. He’s been working with our son Eddie for years, and as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, finding someone this patient and understanding means everything. Tanner truly connects with Eddie and makes learning feel comfortable and positive. Eddie always looks forward to their sessions, which says so much. We’re incredibly grateful to have Tanner as part of Eddie’s journey

Tanner Reive was attentive, professional, and truly invested in my daughter’s progress. He gave thoughtful, honest feedback and struck a great balance between pushing her to improve and allowing her to take the lead. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her growth, and we were very pleased with the experience.

We are so grateful for the support of Dr. Summer Amorosino who guided my sons through the arduous college application process. They were both accepted to their dream schools (UT Austin Class of ‘29 and University of Michigan ‘30). We are beyond thrilled! Summer created a sense of urgency and kept them on track with all their key dates and deadlines. She inspired them to be authentic, creative and engaging in their essays. She is extremely dedicated to her craft!

Our daughter started working with Nikki Rawson in her sophomore year to get a head start, knowing that athletic recruiting would start early junior year. She made it smooth and easy from the beginning and worked closely with our daughter so that we could stay out of the process almost completely. Nikki worked with her on how to research potential schools and key elements to consider, recommending a wide range of schools that she might not have considered otherwise that perfectly matched her criteria. They then brainstormed essay topics, developed them and ran feedback cycles such that my daughter’s essays were all essentially complete by the end of summer before senior year. Nikki was extremely helpful during the writing process with specific feedback, and she was also very responsive over email so that our daughter could reach her at any time. Overall, Nikki made the application process so seamless that we as parents didn’t need to get involved at all and felt fully informed with only Nikki’s updates and sitting in on one or two meetings. We are so grateful as our daughter got into her top choice stretch school ED with minimal stress on our (the parents) part. We and our daughter felt that she was in good hands with Nikki and all the Collegewise resources.

My experience with Collegewise was A+, from day one. They spent a lot of extra time with our family to find just the right package to meet our needs. It was clear that they wanted what was best for our child, and it wasn't just a bottom line for them. Thank you to the team, Amy, Shannon, Brett, Caitlin, Albert, and our amazing college counselor, Emily S.

My son had an outstanding experience working with Lynne O'Shaughnessy at Collegewise. I was introduced to Collegewise through their free webinars. Then, I had a long conversation with a Collegewise intake counselor who paired my son with Lynne, who was the perfect fit. Always thinking ahead, she created a college application action plan that worked with our son's busy schedule and deeply listened to the things that he cared about. She was also available to my husband and me to answer any questions that we had. With Lynne's help, our son was recently admitted ED1 and will be attending his first choice college this fall. Thank you, Lynne!

My son worked with Courtney Jusko at Collegewise on his college applications and clarifying what he wanted. She did a great job drawing him out and helping narrow his choices. As a parent, it was a huge relief—I didn’t have the bandwidth to guide him through the college application process myself.
