Collegewise helped me through my college process so much! I had Jared Rivers as my college counselor, and he was so helpful, especially while writing my essays. He helped make the process less stressful!

Tanner Reive is a great SAT tutor. He helped my daughter improve her test score 230 points. I high recommend Tanner

Jared was an incredible resource throughout my college search. He helped me build a well-rounded college list that actually fit what I was looking for, and guided me through the application and essay process every step of the way. He always stayed organized and on top of deadlines, which made what could have been a really stressful experience feel manageable. I'd highly recommend him to any student navigating the college process.

Sarah was very helpful and on top of every deadline

I had Sarah Turner as my college counselor, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She was extremely helpful in keeping me on top of my deadlines and assignments. Sarah is an excellent communicator and was always quick to set up meetings after I reached out. In addition, she was very accurate in predicting admission decisions and helped me build a well-balanced college list. I wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without her support and guidance. I ended up getting into—and enrolling in—one of my reach schools, which I believe is largely due to Sarah’s strategic counseling. If you’re looking for someone reliable, supportive, and helpful throughout the college application process, I highly recommend working with Sarah Turner and Collegewise.

I am so grateful that my son had such an outstanding experience working with Jared Rivers at Collegewise. I was first introduced to Collegewise through its free webinars. After that, I had a long conversation with one of the intake counselors, who thoughtfully matched our son with Mr. River. He is incredibly experienced and turned out to be the perfect fit for our family. As immigrants and a first-generation parent, Jared’s help meant a tremendous amount to me. He was always thinking ahead, taking his time, and guiding us with care through every step of the process. He created a college application action plan that worked around our son’s very busy schedule, and he truly listened to what mattered most to him. Mr. Rivers was not only patient with our son, but with parents as well. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel supported throughout the entire journey. With Mr. Rivers' help, my son was recently admitted ED1 and will be attending his first-choice college this fall. Thank you! I would highly recommend him to any family that needs help navigating the college application process.

Our experience with Collegewise—and especially with our counselor, Lori Jones—was truly exceptional. From the very beginning of our college search journey, Collegewise made what can be an overwhelming process feel manageable, personalized, and even exciting. Our son is passionate about pursuing a major in Marine Biology, and Lori helped guide him thoughtfully toward finding universities that were the best academic and personal fit. We began working with Lori during our son’s sophomore year of high school, and her guidance from that early stage made an enormous difference. Lori took the time to work directly with our son, getting to know his interests, strengths, goals, and expectations for college. With that foundation, she helped him realistically narrow down schools and refine his expectations, while always keeping his long-term goals in mind. Lori was instrumental in advising our son on course selection to strengthen his academic profile, helping him decide between the SAT and ACT, and guiding him through every decision point with patience and clarity. As the application process approached, both Collegewise and Lori provided invaluable support with college essays, applications, deadlines, and all the details that come with applying to universities. What truly set Lori apart was her accessibility and dedication. She consistently made time to meet with our son and with us as parents, answering our questions and helping us navigate this process for the first time. Her extensive experience was especially reassuring when it came to understanding the financial aid process, and her calm, knowledgeable approach helped reduce our stress every step of the way. Overall, we cannot recommend Collegewise strongly enough—and Lori Jones in particular. She was a key factor in making this long and complex journey not only successful, but also positive and reassuring for our entire family. Thanks to Lori and Collegewise, the college search process felt less intimidating and far more empowering. Our experience was truly outstanding.

Collegewise is a terrific service! We signed our son up during his sophomore year and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our son worked with Jessica Strange, and she helped him tremendously. In particular, she helped fine tune his college essays. He got into his top choice! I would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and the Collegewise staff to help with your student's college planning
