Navigating College Applications Can Be Overwhelming

Applying to college is a serious undertaking that can generate considerable stress if you’re unfamiliar with the process. Before discovering Collegewise, I was leading the college search for our daughter instead of letting her take charge. We wanted her to own this experience, so we began interviewing various companies for assistance. I noticed that most other firms were making grand promises and primarily promoting Ivy League schools, which didnt align with our needs. However, when we connected with Collegewise, the focus shifted entirely to our daughter. They discussed both potential successes and challenges honestly without making unrealistic guarantees. They explained how they pair clients with college counselors and emphasized that the process centers on the student, not the parents. Their approach was about guiding our child to identify what truly suits her. This was exactly what we were looking for, and we felt confident that Collegewise was the right fit for our daughter. Even though we started late in her junior year, we were swiftly matched with Karen K. and couldnt be happier with the results and the overall experience. Karen was an exceptional project managershe quickly updated us, held one-on-one meetings with our daughter to understand her aspirations and personality, and then suggested next steps based on those conversations. Together, they worked throughout the summer, and by August, Karen had effectively helped our daughter decide on a major, choose target schools, and craft personal statements that genuinely reflected who she is. Karen meticulously reviewed applications and even assisted our daughter online as she submitted her choices. She has been our guiding light, significantly reducing the stress of the entire process. I truly believe that Karen will remain connected with our family well beyond the application season, as she has made a lasting positive impact on us. Im eager to work with her again for our son and wholeheartedly recommend Collegewise to anyone navigating this journey.
