There couldn't have been a better fit in a college counselor for my son than Laura Dicas at Collegewise. She is a good listener, knowledgeable, nurturing, a great cheerleader, positive and energetic. She was professional and inspired confidence from a parent perspective but was also relatable and easy to talk to from a teenager perspective. My son got into his top choice, and I can say for certain that Laura was an integral part in making this a reality. She kept him on task and motivated through the entire college application process, in a way I, as his mother, could have never done. She made the essay writing process more manageable, and the Collegewise editor was central in helping my son pull together his thoughts in a clear and articulate manner. I owe such a huge debt of gratitude to Laura and will DEFINITELY use her again for our other son when he is in the college process.

Nikayla and her team were fantastic; she appeared interested and involved throughout the entire process from selecting colleges, advising which schools to visit and coordinating same, providing realistic counseling on selection of schools and how best to apply (ED, EA, etc), and most importantly providing guidance on the all-important essays. My son got into his first choice early decision so I can't imagine anything additional that a college advisor could possibly do.

"Amazing experience" and "college application" usually don't go together... unless you have a great counselor to help you and your kid(s) navigate this maze! Casey's knowledge, her kindness, and expertise allowed my 3 kids to get into the right colleges for them. She knows when to push and when to let go; she truly has a gift to bring the best out of teenagers! Thanks Casey and Collegewise!

Collegewise was such a valuable service to our family. The college application process is so complicated now and my daughter's Collegewise advisor was so knowledgeable and helped us navigate each step along the way. Her advisor recommended colleges that we had never even heard of. One of which my daughter ended up attending. I would recommend this service to anyone applying for college

We have had the most fulfilling and uplifting experience with Nikayla. Her connect with her students is amazing. From the get go she understood our daughter’s strengths and weaknesses and became her friend and mentor . She is a rare individual with great insights and abilities to know what needs to be done in a constructive and uplifting manor and get the job done. Can’t thank her and collegewise enough.

We had a fantastic experience working with Collegewise. They helped our daughter with everything -- ACT prep, practice tests, identifying potential college fits, essay prep, and of course organizing all the applications. Our counselor Sarah T was amazing -- supportive, personable, responsive, and provided helpful guidance throughout. Collegewise also has parent webinars, videos and newsletters / blogs that we found helpful and informative. All in all a great experience -- would highly recommend!

Considering our busy work schedules and the amount of time we would have ended up spending for research, Collegewise was a blessing in disguise for our son. The amount of details they go through, schedules they maintain and present us parents with all details discussed with the candidate was top notch. A special note of thanks and gratitude to our sons counselor - Laura Dicas! Greatly appreciate all the assistance provided by the team and highly recommended Collegewise to those who are new to the process or cannot find time.

Our experience with Collegewise was exceptional. From the well organized, user-friendly platform they use to the thoughtful, diligent and caring efforts of the counselor assigned to us, the experience was top notch all the way. Collegewise did an amazing job helping our student navigate the college application process and ultimately have multiple attractive school alternatives from which to choose. We'll be signing back up to work with Collegewise when its time for our younger student to begin the college exploration and application process.
