Initially thought it might be a scam, but.. it depends on your needs.**

CollegeAdvisor was a huge help in guiding me through the college admissions process. I didnt consider college seriously until my junior year, so I ended up putting in more effort than some of my classmates. Still, the experience was enjoyable, especially with an advisor like ABU 😀 who kept in touch through texts and other means.The most valuable aspects for me were their help with writing, application reviews, and the personalized one-on-one support that felt like having a therapisthelping me figure out what I wanted in a college and supporting my major life decisions.That said, if youre genuine in your writing, keep it concise, can personally connect with colleges, have a clear strategy for presenting your experiences, and have support from people experienced with the Common App, financial aid, waitlist communications, and understand ED/EA/RD processes, you might not need their assistance.
