My son has worked with Elizabeth Majors as his Collegewise counselor for the past year. She has been extremely helpful with her expertise and ability to help my son think through how to write his applications in a concise and descriptive manner showcasing his talents and unique abilities. She gave thoughtful guidance in thinking through essays to ensure you are answering what is asked. She brought additional resources to help narrow the college list; although my son applied to numerous schools. I am happy to report with Liz’s help, my son was accepted in to numerous top schools including Ivy League schools that are known for Neuroscience; my son’s intended focus for college. Thank you Liz!

We have had 2 children go through the college application process with Collegewise. We are indebted to Ali Springer for helping our kids through this difficult and stressful process. Our kids are very different and they were looking for 2 very different college experiences. Ali really took the time to get to know them and helped them brainstorm everything from interests to strengths to weaknesses. She helped them decide on reasonable college lists and helped them throughout to support their application process. Both our kids ended up with perfect schools for them and that is in large part thanks to Ali. I would rec her and the Collegewise program with no reservations. Ali Springer is truly outstanding and we are so grateful for her help.

We are very grateful to Anita for her support and guidance. She is very honest and approachable. She turned an overwhelming and stressful journey into something smooth and manageable for our student. We truly appreciate how Anita checked regularly on our student and kept them motivated and on track.

We had a great experience with Tanner Reive and Bob Kupelian as private SAT tutors for math and english, respectively. We had 1-on-1 sessions with Tanner and Bob in lieu of taking a more standardized SAT prep course. In just a few months, a score of low 1100s on the PSAT and similar on practice SATs turned into a mid 1300s.

I strongly recommend Collegewise to all my friends and family, in particular my daughter's consultant Kate Strzelecki. My daughter started with Collegewise early in her sophomore year after a recommendation from a close friend. I knew my family would need a private counselor to limit my daughter's procrastination and to reduce the stress and anxiety the whole college application process causes. The meetings have been so helpful to encourage her to research majors, then careers, then specific schools to create a strong list to apply to, then helping with essay topics, and so on. The results are in and wow, my daughter was admitted to 4 UC's, 2 Cal States, and 5 exceptional out of state universities!! The results have vastly exceeded my expectations. Kate has been so helpful and supportive every step of the way.

I had an amazing experience with Collegewise, and I can’t recommend them enough. The entire college application process can feel overwhelming, but they made everything so much easier and more manageable from start to finish. I especially want to highlight Kaila Brown, who was absolutely incredible to work with. She was supportive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions or provide guidance. Our weekly calls quickly became the highlight of my week—I always looked forward to them not just because they kept me on track, but because of how genuinely enjoyable and encouraging they were. Kaila took the time to truly understand my goals, strengths, and personality, and she went above and beyond to help me present my best self throughout the process. More than just a mentor, she became a friend, someone I could trust and rely on during such an important time. Her positivity and belief in me made a huge difference in my confidence. Thanks to her help, what could have been a stressful experience turned into something exciting and rewarding. If you’re looking for guidance through the college process, Collegewise, and ESPECIALLY Kaila, are the best choice and I honestly could not recommend them more!

I worked with Tanner and Bob, and they did an excellent job. They both could answer every question I could possibly think of, and my scores jumped up after these sessions. Tanner was attentive, energized, and truly cared about my progress. Bob was knowledgeable, relatable, and explained things in ways that I could perfectly understand. They both did great jobs!
