They helped me for most of junior year and all of senior year, and they were super helpful! I had lots of help on my editing and how to structure my activities and leadership to best show a rounded application. I got into UNC Chapel Hill oos and I really think it was due to their help and organization! I had Brianne and Dre help me, they were the best.

Hi! I'm an incoming freshman at UNC Chapel Hill as an Assured Admit to Kenan-Flagler, all of which has been made possible through Collegewise. My counselor, Aaron Going, is one of the most proactive people I've met. Throughout the application season, Aaron would take time out to craft essay guides and provide thorough feedback. I had always thought I would apply ED to UPenn, but after talking with Aaron, he helped me realize what I valued in a college and where my goals were aligned.

We engaged Collegewise for both of our teens and had fantastic experiences. Though pricey, it is well worth it to give the kids an objective guide and coach through the stressful years leading up to, and then applying to, college. For my son, his college counselor, Joe Korfmacher, helped him define the criteria he desired in a university, and Joe pointed us to a school that wasn't on our radar. He ended up selecting that university because it was a perfect fit. My son just graduated from college and had the best 4 years of his life there. Thank you, Joe! For my daughter, who is currently a senior in HS, we had Liz Albertelly, and she was a great match for her. Liz was a great listener, kind, and strong coach. Liz guided her through 3 years of high school with class choices, extracurriculars, and helped her articulate her passions. Liz became a trusted advisor who she turned to for advice regularly. She helped our daughter brainstorm essays and list pros and cons of various schools. Liz also kept her on a timeline from SATs to essay writing to sitting with her while she submitted the applications (ahead of the deadlines!), so she didn't feel overwhelmed in doing things last minute. In part thanks to Liz's advice, she was accepted into 12 out of the 14 schools she applied to, including several reach schools. We also appreciated Liz's well organized emails that kept us (the parents) informed of timelines and actions. My daughter is so excited to go to the university of her dreams. Highly highly recommend Liz and Collegewise. Thank you, Liz!

I worked with counselor Judy Lee for three years. She was nothing but helpful, and tried her very best at a time when I, myself, wasn't sure what I was interested in studying. She recommended schools for me, including the one I will be attending in the coming year. I'm glad I had her as my rock throughout the college process. Thank you Judy!

I worked with Jared Rivers, and he was immensely helpful during the college application process. He helped me calm down through a burst of anxiety the night before applications were due and was a steady rock throughout the process. He helped me narrow down my list and was just generally a good source of information. Very helpful service!

Working with Judy Lee and Collegewise was one of the best decisions we made for our son's college application process. From the very start (and we started working with Collegewise fairly early), Judy took the time to truly know our son--his strengths, his personality and his areas of potential growth. Her personal understanding of him made all the difference and her guidance was always thoughtful, patient and insightful. By working with Judy and Collegewise, he was able to present the best version of himself in his applications. In what can be an overwhelming and anxiety-filled process she made it feel manageable. Tasks were done on time. Deadlines were met. Essays were reviewed and discussed. I truly cannot imagine what we would have done without her and we are thrilled our son was accepted ED to Harvey Mudd College, the school that was meant for him. Our younger son (rising senior) is working with Collegewise as will our daughter when she reaches high school.

Working with Lindsey Conger was such a pleasure. She knew everything about the process, and was so responsive. Thank you Lindsey!!

We had a fantastic experience with Lori Jones from Collegewise. Our son is an IB student studying at a German IB school abroad, and she was a perfect fit for our situation Lori quickly understood his profile and guided him with clear, thoughtful, and personalized advice. She made the process feel manageable and helped build his confidence every step of the way. We’re very grateful for her support and highly recommend her.
