Jyoti Rani
University of California – Berkeley

CollegeAdvisor’s flexibility proved how much they really put their customers first. After speaking with the founder, I understood the personal story behind why CollegeAdvisor’s services are such a steal: incredible value at an affordable price! The college application process has now become one of the most valuable periods in my young life because the personal development and insight I gained are truly invaluable. My hearty thanks to my incredible advisor in shaping such a critical aspect of my journey and career.

Slade Natale
University of California – Irvine

First off, my experience was very straighforward and smooth. The price is affordable especially considering the amount of work and time that you receive, not to mention the benefits provided by each plan. There are frequent check ins so you can review the work accomplished you have accomplished and my advisor would be on top of planning next steps for me. When writing my college essays, my advisor did not do the work for me but rather helped guide me to success. I would highly recommend all students applying to college use this recourse.

I had a wonderful experience with CollegeAdvisor. My advisor worked many hours with me and did a great job helping and supporting me through the whole application process; this included everything from the essays, to the interviews, and finally the decision process as well.

Sam Schulman
Vanderbilt University

CollegeAdvisor ensured that the quality of essays, and the timing in which I submitted, were optimized. The results speak for themselves through my acceptance to my first choice school and endless stories of those same outcomes.

Armaan Ramezani deserves an award for the amount of support and dedication he gave me to achieve my dreams. He kept me on track even when I was unmotivated and providing more than just college advice. Armaan has helped me grow as a person. CollegeAdvisor as an institution provides students with the best pairings of advisors who go beyond textbook definitions to invoke your true sense and self into your applications. I very much enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone.

My experience with CollegeAdvisor was fantastic! I had an amazing counselor (shoutout to Clay!) who really helped me focus on the areas of my writing that could be improved. I felt very supported and the feedback I received made a huge difference. The system of weekly meetings we had in place helped me succeed during the college process. Thank you Clay and CollegeAdvisor!
