Client Feedback
"I loved how Collegistics was always very organized and reminded me of deadlines at least a couple of weeks in advance. I felt like I can always count on them and not having to constantly worry about missing the deadlines was probably how I survived the stressful application process. Also, my team gave me advice that was sensitive to my situation, which I would not have gotten anywhere else. My team made an effort to meet with me as much as possible and always maintained clear communication through emails and phone calls. I always got the feeling that these were people that genuinely cared about my success. While working on the countless essays for various college applications, I was constantly encouraged and motivated. Even when I got frustrated after many edits on my essay, I never thought of giving up because I felt like I wasn't alone in this battle against verb tenses and metaphors. Collegistics made something impossible come true for me and I couldn't have done it without them. "

"Collegistics had a unique approach to the process. I really liked the team approach and working with two advisors was a great dynamic for both my child and for us. I think my child's best interests were always at the center of the process. You kept her organized and calm without becoming overwhelmed. I thought the help with the essays was exceptional, as was the interview preparation. Collegistics is especially strong in recommending summer programs. I felt Collegistics did a fantastic job of helping my child put out the best application. I was very impressed by the whole approach. I felt that my child’s well-being was the most important aspect of the process. I really felt that you kept her organized, motivated, and positive through the lengthy process, which is arduous. Through it all, I felt she really learned a lot about herself, which is both important and remarkable. I really wish that we had come to Collegistics at the beginning of ninth grade. "

"Collegistics helped the college process feel less stressful than it really is. By helping me break down everything that had to be done and completing it in chunks of time before my applications had to go out helped everything go a lot smoother than if I were doing it on my own all at once."

"Our team proved to be a very valuable resource in what is an overwhelming process, particularly for us "rookie" parents -- as we think all parents learn, the college application process today bears virtually no relation to the process that we went through ourselves many years ago. They became our friends as well as our trusted advisors who were able to be both objective and very supportive. We always felt as though their only motivation was to find the college that was the best fit for our daughter. "

"Collegistics was helpful for me throughout the entire duration of the demanding and chaotic college application process. When I initially began to apply, I had a limited understanding of the amount and variety of existing colleges, and an even lesser grasp of which schools were right for me. Immediately, they helped me find my way. These ladies would not rest until they knew that my Common App was the best representation of who I am as a student. Applying to nearly twenty colleges was no easy task, most especially writing what had to be 20+ essays! They made sure that my essays maintained fluidity and adequate expression, and taught me the power of "quality over quantity." They provided me opportunities to meet and network with people that I otherwise would not have encountered from admissions officers to SAT tutors. When moments became overwhelming, they invited me over for meetings to discuss issues. They pushed me, and allowed me to achieve heights I never thought I was capable of. The most convenient part of Collegistics was the communication through email. I was able to carry on with the strenuous activities of my day, and still accomplish so much at home through messaging back and forward. Thank you Collegistics! You guys have been an amazing support system! "

"You are wonderful. Love the two-person approach; love that you interact independently with the student, this will be key with my other son who naturally thinks that I know nothing! I also appreciate deeply both your excellent communication during the process -- plenty, never too much or too little, conveyed promptly and accurately with sensitivity and warmth -- and your experience and knowledge especially on two fronts: assisting the thought process and the writing process for essays, and understanding and advising on ADHD concerns relating to both high school issues and college issues."

"You guys rock!"

""Working with our Collegistics advisors was a great experience both for us and for our daughter. Narrowing down a suitable list of choices together with development of essay topics and the ongoing follow up with edits and deadlines was enormously helpful! We highly recommend them for anyone who wants to take a lot of the stress and anxiety out of this important process. We are thrilled with the outcome.""

""My Collegistics team was very organized and had an extremely deep knowledge of colleges, and how the application process works at each of them. They also provide an excellent buffer between seniors and their parents.""
