I had a great experience with CollegeWise. My counselor's efficiency, expertise, and thoughtfulness brought a sense of security to each step of the process that allowed me to stay focused and confident during even the most demanding weeks. It was comforting to have someone in my corner when the process required so much self-scrutiny and comparison. Even without my acceptance, I would have left this program with so much more self-knowing and a genuine excitement about next year. I'm so happy to have developed the genuine belief that I could thrive at a variety of schools, and more importantly, grateful that I was reminded that whatever logo ends up on my degree is a lot less important than what I choose to do with it.

My family is extremely pleased with Collegewise. I can not count how many times my daughter said having her Collegewise advisor, Liz, helped keep her calm and on track, and that she never had to stress about missing a deadline or forgetting something. My daughter got her first accceptance and it was her top school that she always dreamed of going to!! I am not sure she would have had the same outcome if it wasn't for Collegewise and her advisor, Liz' guidance and the essay editing. It was truly a great experience and would recommend without hesitation!

As an educator, I thought I might be able to do the job of college consultant for my son-Ha! I could not believe all that is involved in the college app process. Collegewise gave us a guide map of the process and helped Ben widen the net of colleges that would be a good fit for him. She provided invaluable feedback on the multiple essays and kept us on target for all deadlines. She was a lifesaver.

College application is an extremely stressful process. It takes years of preparation, and your fate is decided on a single day. As a family, we are very very very blessed to have engaged Collegewise. Our son has built an exceptional rapport with his counselor Casey, who has supported him emotionally and provided him with excellent guidance. She deserves a lot of credit for our son's success in the process. Our son did get into his dream school in ED, but more importantly, Collegewise has given our son the opportunity to experience what it takes to achieve a goal in life. This experience is more valuable than any formal education can provide. Thank you, Casey, and thank you, Collegewise!!!

Applying to colleges are stressful for seniors. Collegewise program through multiple webinars and private zoom meetings made this journey much easier for our family. Jordan is simply wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a better counselor. He guided my daughter to get into her dream school. He has positive and encouraging attitude which is necessary when working with teenagers. Jordan is agreeable, optimistic and hardworking. Collegewise team was always available and supportive. we thank collegewise team especially Joradn Kenarak for their guidance and support.

We had a great experience with CollegeWise. I really appreciated all their webinars and thought they'd be the best to help with my daughter's common app essay. We were right! I never in a million years could have helped her in the way CollegeWise did. She was sure she had nothing interesting to say. We started with some brainstorming activities, which I thought were great and really got her thinking about different aspects to talk about. Then our counselor helped her home in on a couple topics and worked with her to outline the essay. After a couple drafts, it was done! It wasn't horrible and difficult, it was kind of fun, and it was DONE by early October. Her essay was outstanding, and even had personalized acceptance letters stating how much the admissions counselors were impressed by it (with specifics to her essay, so not a form letter!). She got accepted into all the colleges she applied to via the common app. We don't know where she'll chose yet, but she has all her options open thanks to CollegeWise!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with counselor Ian Parker! Our son was just accepted to his first-choice school (Tulane University), and Ian played a huge role in helping him achieve that goal. Over the last year, Ian guided us through the entire process, from selecting the schools that were the best fit, to brainstorming essay ideas, to keeping the application process on track & on time. Ian has so much knowledge and experience--we learned a ton from him. He's smart, funny, kind, supportive, and easy to reach. His compassion and calm demeanor helped mitigate our stress during the college application process. We would highly recommend Ian to families anywhere!

I am so incredibly grateful for Laura Dicas and Collegwise. She has undoubtedly made the college admissions process significantly more manageable and less stressful for me. She has helped to keep me ahead of the game, which specifically made the fall of my senior a breeze in comparison to my friends and peers. I always felt like I was ahead of the game, and this was all thanks to her. We began getting to work earlier, which would allow me to focus more on my academics and social life during my senior fall and less on college. Laura and the editing team at Collegewise helped me get every single one of my college applications in early while also feeling confident about pressing the submit button. I believe that a large part of the reason that I was accepted to my first choice university was because of how hands-on Laura was in helping me work through my application. The editing team also put all of my essays through multiple rounds of revisions, helping me get my essays to a place that I would not have been able to do on my own. I will forever be grateful to Laura for motivating and cheering me on while also being a key factor to the success that I have found in this process!
