Shruti was amazing at helping me but also giving the best constructive criticism for my essays and common app profile

We had an excellent experience working with Collegewise, especially Ali Springer, my daughter’s college counselor, and Sakhi Patel, her SAT prep tutor. We were initially referred by a friend, and based on our experience, we are now recommending Collegewise to others. One aspect we particularly appreciated was being offered a choice of counselors, allowing our daughter to select someone she felt comfortable with and trusted. As immigrants, we knew there were many nuances in the college admissions process that we were unfamiliar with, and with full-time jobs, we simply didn’t have the time to do extensive research on our own. Ali was absolutely wonderful in connecting with our daughter and guiding her through the process. She provided a clear framework for decision-making that balanced a “student at the wheel” approach and incorporated criteria from us, parents, and strong oversight. Her availability was also a critical factor for us — unlike other consultants we interviewed who had rigid schedules, Ali was flexible and accessible, which was essential given our daughter’s demanding school and sports commitments. By taking the lead on the process, Ali saved us an enormous amount of time, stress, and potential conflict with our teenager. We are happy with the multiple out-of-state college acceptances our daughter received and fully plan to return to Collegewise when our second child begins this journey.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad Ali and Sakhi could provide guidance, flexibility, and support that made the process manageable and even empowering for your daughter. It’s wonderful to hear about her multiple acceptances, and we’re honored you plan to work with us again for your second child’s journey!
Tanner is kind, gifted and truly an expert in teaching Mathematics as well as SAT tutoring. He’s able to switch seamlessly between the Math and Reading/Writing portions of SAT so the student can customize lessons as needed. He also gives honest timely feedbacks after each session to both the student and parent with a clear path for next or upcoming sessions. With his calm demeanor and undeniable ability to bring order to the chaos of SAT prep, and his vast knowledge and patience, especially in Math, a subject of study that a lot of students might be running away from, he holds space for deep and thorough learning. He allows students be themselves without judgment so they can ask lots of questions. He pushes them when needed and cheers them on every step of the process. He won’t stop until he ensures they have understood each lesson before moving forward. After working with Tanner for twice a week in a 5 week span, my daughter’s SAT grade improved by almost 150 points. It has been a pleasure working with Tanner and we couldn’t recommend him more.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review! We’re thrilled Tanner could bring clarity, support, and structure to your daughter’s SAT prep while helping her gain confidence and improve her score so significantly. It’s wonderful to hear how much of a positive impact he had every step of the way! 🎉
We worked with Paige at Collegewise. My son found her to be super supportive, responsive, and very helpful in his writing for all the supplements and essays that were required for his many, many applications. She helped him brainstorm and hone his topics for each school. Ultimately, he got into his top choice as an out of state student, and he firmly believes it may not have happened without Paige's help. From the parent perspective, we were totally hands off. Paige was great in keeping him on track and on time for everything. We can not recommend Paige at Collegewise enough.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how supportive and impactful Paige was throughout the process. It’s wonderful that your son felt confident in his essays and stayed on track along the way, and congratulations to him on getting into his top choice. We’re so grateful you trusted us to be part of his journey!
My counselor, Ida was very good with helping brainstorm and outline my essays so that I could get a good start to my essays. However, some of my essays did not directly answer the prompts and I was not told by the editors, leading to me having to change the flow. Otherwise, it was a good experience and a lot of help to get you started, as well as guidance through the actual application process.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear that Ida was helpful in brainstorming and outlining your essays and that you felt supported throughout the application process. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback about the essays that did not fully address the prompts. That’s important to us. Our goal is always to ensure students feel confident not just in their ideas, but in how directly and effectively they answer each question. We’ll be sharing this feedback with our team as we continue refining our review process!
My experience with Collegewise (Ali Springer) was excellent. Before the process started, they matched my daughter with someone that would fit her personality. We needed someone that was kind, gentle, and not old-school. The match was perfect. Ali from day 1 made our daughter very comfortable and guided her through the process step by step. Ali helped with college selection, essay thoughts with some outline ideas and ensured all deliverables were clear. My favorite part of the process was the editing of essay(s) and helpful hints on how to make the message more powerful. As a parent, I essentially had to do very little. Ali was responsive to all of us and the end result is my daughter has lots of wonderful colleges to choose from. That defines success to me. Thank you Ali for guiding us through this painful process!
Thank you for this kind review! We are so glad that Ali provided support and guidance for your daughter throughout her application process.
Collegewise and their counselor, Annie, were an invaluable guide through the complicated college application process for both my children. Her professionalism and deep knowledge made an extremely stressful experience far more manageable, and her insight was invaluable. She consistently went above and beyond, especially during the most stressful and time-sensitive parts of the college application process. I would recommend their service to anyone. That said, I would stress that interviewing a few advisors first, as finding the right personality fit for your child is just as important.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re thrilled Annie was such a steady, knowledgeable guide for both of your children during what can be a very stressful process!
We can’t say enough good things about Tanner. He’s been working with our son Eddie for years, and as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, finding someone this patient and understanding means everything. Tanner truly connects with Eddie and makes learning feel comfortable and positive. Eddie always looks forward to their sessions, which says so much. We’re incredibly grateful to have Tanner as part of Eddie’s journey
Thank you so much for these kind words. It means a great deal to hear how deeply Tanner has connected with Eddie and created a space where learning feels comfortable and positive. We’re honored to be part of Eddie’s journey and so thankful for your family’s trust!
We are so grateful for the support of Dr. Summer Amorosino who guided my sons through the arduous college application process. They were both accepted to their dream schools (UT Austin Class of ‘29 and University of Michigan ‘30). We are beyond thrilled! Summer created a sense of urgency and kept them on track with all their key dates and deadlines. She inspired them to be authentic, creative and engaging in their essays. She is extremely dedicated to her craft!
Woohoo! 🎉 Thank you so much for sharing this; we’re absolutely thrilled to hear about your sons’ amazing results, and huge congratulations on UT Austin and the University of Michigan! Your kind words about Dr. Summer Amorosino's dedication means a lot, and we’re so grateful your family trusted our Collegewise team to be a part of this journey.
We began working with Collegewise a few months ago. While there was a small hiccup at the start, we were quickly connected with Shannon Frankel, the Customer Success Manager. She put us at ease. Though we were anxious, she was calm, organized, and took the time to truly listen to our concerns. Her support made a big difference, and we’re looking forward to continuing our journey with Collegewise.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so glad working with Shannon put your family at ease. We appreciate your trust and are looking forward to continuing the journey as well!
