liam clancy
Boston University

Liam touches on an important point that many students struggle with: identifying their personal brand. This is a crucial part of getting the attention of admissions officers. 
Washington University in St. Louis
In our interview, Dev told us about how his life experiences have shaped him into who he is today.

Dev notes, “I never felt like I was the odd one out per se, but I did feel a little different than everyone else in my family. And that topic of what it means for me to be an Indian and what it means for me to be an immigrant really came out in my college personal statement.”
George Washington University
Kaelyn was confident in her own preparedness, but she was looking for a personalized experience that she could customize to her liking.

“A lot of the websites and the other companies I looked at, it was more of a program you had to follow,” said Kaelyn. “I loved how CollegeAdvisor worked with you on what you needed, and it was as you needed it. It wasn’t a set program.” 
success story Olani Aboro
University of Wisconsin – Madison
One of Olani’s biggest challenges was navigating deadlines She set a goal for herself to finish all of her essays by October.

“I really wanted to get this done as well and as soon as possible just so that I didn’t have to put my academics on the line for the sake of my applications,” she said. “Because if my grades are going down because I’m trying to get my good application, they’re kind of canceling each other out.”
College Counselor for Lydia
University of Pennsylvania
Lydia says, “I come from an immigrant family, a first-generation [family]. I’m also an only child, so I had no older siblings to help me out.” 

In the CollegeAdvisor Scholars Program, Lydia had access to college webinars and other college guides. This helped Lydia feel confident as she began the application process.

What Our Clients Had to Say

Lauren Weston
Harvard University

I started working with CollegeAdvisor three weeks before the deadline and I hadn’t started writing any of my essays. I had watched a lot of YouTube videos about college essays, but most of them did nothing but scare me, because I thought that I could never write like that. Once I got an interview, I also received excellent interview preparation. I didn’t apply to any other schools, except for UCLA and UC Berkeley. I reused a lot of my essays for those applications. In the end, I got accepted to all of them! I could not have wished for better support during this very stressful time.

Kalyani Valiyaveettil
Columbia University

CollegeAdvisor’s tremendous resources and committed advisors helped make the application process stress-free. I was able to customize the service and create an environment in which I work best. Through hours of essay editing, not only did I grow as a writer but I became more self-aware, learning the value of my experiences. As a look back, I am proud of all the work my advisor, Zoe, and I were able to accomplish together.

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.

Jennifer Lawrence
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Gabe was absolutely wonderful as an advisor. He was very thorough with both grammatical and content edits in my essays, as well as very knowledgeable whenever I had questions about the process. I primarily needed CollegeAdvisor for assistance in crafting my essays and activity descriptions and didn’t really make use of any of the offered webinars/workshops; I also had my college list already picked out when I came to CollegeAdvisor, so I didn’t receive much help there either, but Gabe did help me do some research on schools that I was applying.

Shayan Shivji
University of Pennsylvania

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.

Ayotunde Adeyinka
Stanford University

Right off the bat, my advisor Julia identified my uniqueness and helped me express that, as well as my most beautiful life experiences, on paper. By believing in me every step of the way, she drew out the best in my writing ability and itemized the whole process into simple and more approachable pieces. Through the entire process, I truly felt supported as a distinct individual, and not just as a random applicant by everyone I met from CollegeAdvisor. It was an unforgettable experience for me! I couldn’t have asked for a better advisor.

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.

Maria Vaquero
University of Notre Dame

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!
