Pasadena, CA

My counselor was so helpful in the entire application process. The thought of having to write my personal statement was terrifying at first, but after my first meeting of brainstorming, I was excited to start writing. Knowing that there was someone I could go to with questions about the college process was priceless.

Our counselor was so much more than a college counselor for us; she was instrumental in keeping me and my teenage daughter working together in harmony! Amazing feat! My daughter got into every college to which she applied and received GREAT merit scholarships from all! Time and money well spent!

Without the help from my counselor, I do not know where I would be. I started very late in this whole process and did not know much, but thanks to the determination and dedication of my counselor, I accomplished all of my goals. I am truly thankful for all of her help and would not ask her to change a thing.

Our counselor instantly became our son’s biggest cheerleader, guiding and inspiring him to better grades and test scores, which prepared him for the application process and then provided a template for him to investigate his choices. He was accepted at his first choice as well as gaining spots at numerous other choices.

Our counselor was a joy to work with–her unending patience and reminders kept Charlie ahead of the game. Her guidance in navigating the essays, Common App and college choice selections helped keep Charlie focused. Charlie got into his first choice college ED, giving us a chance to take a big breath and enjoy the holidays.

The whole Collegewise experience has been nothing short of amazing! I am very thankful to my counselor for helping me truly show colleges who I am through my applications and personal statements and for facilitating my admission to my dream school. I couldn't have done it without her.
