I am a senior in high school and I worked with Sam Joustra this year trying to find a school that was right for me. She was very helpful in the process of narrowing down where and what kind of environment I wanted to be in and was very organized which made things much easier for me. I started this experience feeling very stressed and overwhelmed and once I started meeting with Sam, it started to feel fun and exciting. She was a great listener and was able to help me find programs and schools that were right for me.

I have a heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding college counseling service provided by your team, and in particular, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to @Courtney Flint & @Kim Haselholf for their exceptional professionalism and patience throughout the process. Both are evident in every interaction we had. They are not only knowledgeable about the intricacies of college admissions but also took the time to ensure that we were well-informed and comfortable with each step. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality service made a significant impact on our experience, and we are grateful for the positive influence on Aiden's college application journey.

My wife and I were looking into college counseling for our niece whose parents are pretty hands off. We wanted to make sure we “got it right” for her and interviewed a bunch of companies like IvyWise, Crimson Education, local counselors and Collegewise. Collegewise was the first company we really felt heard. We initially spoke with Shannon who was honest, transparent and patient. We’ve really enjoyed the webinars and hearing from Kevin. Collegewise really seems to care a lot about each student which is refreshing to see. There’s not this pressure we felt with other companies to push students to top schools if that’s not their goal - I think this is really important. We’re waiting a few more months to get started as our niece is still quite young but look forward to working with Collegewise soon.

Collegewise was an excellent decision for me and my family. It eased much of the tension out of the innately stressful college application process. My Collegewise counselor, Mrs.Ashley Meyer, helped me to write stellar essays and get into my dream schools. She helped me through hard times and tough deadlines, and I am eternally grateful. If you want to help your child through this process, Collegewise is a fantastic program.

Collegewise and especially Ashley M, made the college application process stress free for our family. i did not have to keep up with dates or stay on my son to complete his applications or essays. They had set meetings and deadlines which they set up with little to no involvement from me.

Our counselor Matt Doyle really 'got' our son and was able to help him not just find the schools that were best suited him, but also to explain through earnest and compelling personal essays why he was suited for those schools. I'm grateful that our son is happy about his college future. There's no way to get through the college application process with zero stress, but Matt's guidance mitigated the worst of it. Matt was not just caring and knowledgeable, but the fact that he wasn't a parent or guidance counselor allowed for our son to plan for his future like more of an adult... which is exactly what he'll be when he leaves our home next year. Thanks to Collegewise for helping our son both find a college and preparing him for it!

During what could have been a period of major stress and unknowns, Lori Jones from Collegewise was a calm voice of reason and knowledge. With her comprehensive guidance, organizational skills and kind approach, Lori placed my teen in charge of her application process while always being by her side. As a parent I could be as hands on or off as I'd need or want, with regular updates from Lori after her meetings with my child. When parents had questions, she was approachable and patient. It really minimized stress for us all! We were so lucky to have had Lori Jones as our counselor, along with the whole structure provided by the Collegewise program. I highly recommend parents to invest in this process. We are SO thankful to Lori for being our partner in this! ❤️
