Client Feedback
""[Collegistics was] incredibly helpful in advising on which tests to take, colleges to visit, etc. I found one of the most helpful things was meeting with my team every week with my computer and making to-do lists and going over different drafts and whatnot. As much as I hate criticism, my team was very helpful in telling me which personal essays were…unworkable, and which were usable. Above all, they helped me realize which school was right for me and instead of pushing me in one direction or another, simply set out the pros and cons of EDing the 2 schools i was debating between. There are no words to describe how lost i would have been without them. Overall it was most helpful when they helped keep me on track and provided me with completely honest feedback. More chocolate at meetings!! Aside from that, really nothing, I felt my entire experience with Collegistics was informative and even fun!""

""The most important things that Collegistics offers is guiding students to think through preferences and values, helping them organize application materials, keeping them to a schedule, providing insightful coaching/editorial suggestions for resume and essay writing, giving endless support and encouragement throughout the process! Collegistics provided my son with the guidance, support and discipline to enable him not only to endure the college application process, but to actually enjoy it. Our advisors offered responsible and thorough assistance in every aspect of the experience. He emerged stronger and wiser as a result of this program. We are eternally grateful.""

""Wouldn't have been possible without your support. Just opened the envelope and very overwhelmed. I also want to thank you both for your fantastic support and help during this process. We are all very happy with the outcome and also with the way you advised us all. We hope you keep doing this for the next few years as we may have another candidate for you in 3 years.""

""The Collegistics experience was truly amazing. They helped me become both organized and prepared. My challenging first semester senior year suddenly didn't seem so challenging. Most importantly, they motivated me to complete my applications and accomplish my goals. Without their help, I would not be going to my dream school and I am extremely thankful.""

""Collegistics narrowed the college selections by considering our son's personality, interests, grades, and financial situation. The school Deans seem to hand the same list of schools to every student. You gave an honest appraisal of which schools were a reach and helped my son to focus and improve his essay--a big challenge for him. Collegistics acted as an interface between student and parents at a stressful time. Knowledge of the on-line Common App was excellent--it has some quirks. We thought you provided a great service for both of our children. We found your knowledge of the culture and social vibe of various colleges impressive.""

""Collegistics was unbelievably helpful in getting me organized and keeping me on pace to submit all of my applications before they were due. Each member of my team was EXTRAORDINARILY attentive and made sure I took care of every detail of my application. I can't thank my team enough for working so hard on my behalf, always willing to help me think through and revise essays and keep me on task. I definitely give them a lot of credit for the success I've had.""

""No words can describe how we all feel right now. We could never have helped [our daughter] the way you all did. Collegistics kept the college process very organized and developed a working relationship with our daughter that kept her on track with deadlines. You helped keep her focused and gave important guidance relevant to essay topics. We would have been the taskmasters in this process and strained our relationship with our daughter in a very difficult year. Collegistics completely relieved that pressure and set very realistic expectations for all of us. Best of all, she got into the college of her dreams, early decision. We could not be more grateful.""
Parent, Trevor Day School (New York, NY) 2010
""I found Collegistics extremely helpful in that the team I worked with was very committed. They picked up right where my guidance counselor left off and went even further. One of the big parts was with my essays. As a sub-average writer, Collegistics helped me to express my ideas like a painting with words on the page. My team was also very helpful in narrowing down my school choices. I liked the way that we worked down together from my top two to a final selection. The mock interview was also helpful. It was a great and rewarding experience working with Collegistics.""

"“Collegistics kept our children organized and made sure applications, essays, etc. were completed in a timely, efficient manner. Their method of communication directly with the students while keeping the parents "in the loop" was really perfect. The best thing I think was allowing us, the parents, to rest assured knowing that our children were being guided through this often "stressful" process by professionals. They made themselves available 24/7. We would recommend them without hesitation.""

""Working with Collegistics definitely made my college application process much less stressful. They helped me to better manage my time so that all of my applications and essays were completed on time. I am so grateful for all the work they put into helping me edit my applications. Without that help, they would have never reached the quality they were at when I sent them. I may have gotten the grades and done the activities that made me a good college applicant, but they helped me present it in the best way possible. Collegistics truly led me down the path to my top choice college, and I couldn’t have done it alone.""
