Collegewise has helped me greatly in going through the college application process. My college advisor Ashley Meyer has many years of experience with college admission. She spent time to get to know me, discuss my goals, and decide the right schools for me. She kept me on track with my tasks, helped brainstorming essay topics, and researched extracurriculum activities that align with my academic goals. Thanks to Collegewise and my college advisor, I was able to get into my dream school. I highly recommend their services!

Both of my kids were tutored by Tanner Reive for SAT prep. My son was tutored in Spring 2022 and my daughter in Fall 2023. Each met weekly with Tanner and reviewed problems and discussed testing strategies. Both kids' final scores were a huge improvement over their pretests, and perhaps even more importantly, so was their confidence in test taking. We are grateful for Tanner's help in helping them not only achieve their goals, but exceed them!

We have just started with Collegewise for our 17 year old son. Cortney Flint was very helpful in getting to know our son and what type of advisor would be best for him. I really felt she took the time to get to know his individual situation and provided great feedback.

I am truly grateful for my experience with Christopher at Collegewise. Christopher was a crucial part of my college search journey. He spent countless hours talking with me, ultimately helping me realize where I wanted to spend the next 4 years of my life, and where I would best fit in academically. His truly realistic insight helped me immensely when finding what parts of myself to showcase in my college applications. His knowledge of the college admissions world helped me get into my dream school with hours of hard work and thorough conversations.

We've just come out the other end of a 2 year process and had a wonderful experience and an even better outcome with our daughter being accepted to her first choice college. We worked with Christopher Logan who helped keep the stress to a minimum. They were a great resource to keep our daughter on track with deadlines for the various essays she needed to write and the applications that needed to be filled out. They also encouraged her to explore summer camps and programs that she may have not discovered on her own. Christopher was also a wealth of knowledge about the pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses of any university she had interest in, and was able to help generate the list of schools that were the right match for her. We also took advantage of the SAT tutoring/prep that CollegeWise offers and we're sure that it helped her achieve a better result than she would have just studying on her own.

Christopher Logan made an enormous difference in my daughter's high school and college prep experience. As she was submitting some of her applications, she commented to me that the process had been stressful, but no where near as stressful as it would have been without Christopher. The CollegeWise resources were great too, and we have been very happy with the results.

My daughter felt very comfortable with her counselor, who was helpful and approachable to her. As the parent, I didn't feel 'heard' sometimes. I expressed my concerns that some of the colleges on the list were out of our price range and asked the counselor to find my daughter more affordable options but it didn't happen. The Collegewise salesperson told me whatever counselor we hired would be able to discern which colleges were realistic to our financial situation and which ones weren't but that was not the case. I was instead encouraged to work with one of their financial counselors for an extra cost. It seems like the 'Admissions' and 'Finances' aspects of Collegewise aren't linked as much as they should be, leaving the customer doing a lot of work for themselves. The essay help was the most valuable part of the experience but most of the list building came from us.

I can't say enough positive things about our College advisor Nikayla Loy. I was nervous about entering the "college admission process" for the first time with my Son 4 years ago. I wasn't sure if we needed a college advisor to help us, after all how hard can it all be. Once I heard from other parents and looked at the overall commitment needed, I knew that there was no way our family could help my college bound son on our own. I found Nikayla thru a trusted friend and was blown away by her positive attitude, patience with my teen, feedback for me, total knowledge of the entire process, from big things to little tips and tricks. My son finished his process with zero family fights and is happy at the university he chose. 3 years later when it was time for my daughter to start, choosing Nikaya was a no brainer. Its the best money my family has spent on ANYTHING.
