Client Feedback
""None of our friends warned us how daunting the college process would be. Between the rigor of junior year, standardized testing, and college tours the stress level in our home was palpable. After signing on with Collegistics all that changed. Collegistics took us step by step through the college process making an overwhelming time in our daughter's life somewhat enjoyable. The process was broken down into goals that were attainable. Timelines were set up for school visits and essay writing. The stress was alleviated from our home and taken on by Collegistics. We could not be more grateful.""

""The Collegistics team contributed to our daughter's success in gaining admission to the college of her choice in numerous ways. However, two things really stand out. First, the depth of their knowledge and experience in the admissions process is extraordinary. They were able to give great comfort to parents like us, who were first timers with this, so that we would do the right thing in our daughter's college admission process. Their guidance was an invaluable supplement to the assistance available in the high school’s guidance department and it expanded our child's college horizons. Second, they were able to consult with and advise our daughter in ways that would be difficult for a father and mother in this society. What teenagers view as nagging by parents about college applications, essays, and the like (and is usually ignored), is much more acceptable to them when it comes from experienced professionals from outside the home. This successful effort by Collegistics to directly consult with and advise our daughter, with our knowledge but without our presence, made a huge difference for her and for her parents as well. We are ready to sign up with Collegistics again for our next college applicant." "

""I want to thank you most importantly for all the love, help, encouragement and support that you provided me through this long and often frustrating journey. Because of all of you, I have picked up skills that I can see myself applying to my professional life for years to come and I just want to say you all are amazing at what you do. Thank you so much for everything!""

""They kept my son focused and motivated and were a tremendous help with essays and methods to help with getting off wait list. You are great--two kids in a school no one from their high school gets into. Well worth using this wonderful group. I speak as a parent who has had two children get into their top school.""
Parent, Clarkstown High School South (West Nyack, NY) 2012
""Thank you so much for all of you help and guidance. You made this college experience smoother and easier, as well as helped me manage my expectations. I have realized now, as I watch my classmates who are rejected and waitlisted, managing your expectations is the key to staying sane and from completely falling apart in this process. I cannot express my gratitude, just as I cannot express the feeling of complete bliss that I have felt since last Thursday.""

""Now that the news that our son was accepted 'early decision' is beginning to sink in, we wanted to express our sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude to each of you at Collegistics. Your time, effort, caring, personal attention and purely brilliant editing and coaching every step of the way has undoubtedly made all the difference - not only in this ultimate, fantastic outcome but in your ability to instill confidence and a sense of calm, all along the way. We'd always heard that the process of applying to colleges is a nightmare, but truly, Collegistics made it a dream! Thank you again for all of your efforts. We look forward to working with you again for our next two children.""

""I just want to start off thanking you both for all of your help during this grueling college process. I don't know how I would have done it without your assistance. . . .The idea of such a big school definitely is a bit intimidating, but it is exciting at the same time and at the end of the day it is a new experience which I am fully embracing. Once again it is time for me to conquer my fears of flying and being in such a big environment. . . . Thanks again for all of your support and concern. I couldn't be more happy!""
Student, Mamaroneck High School (Larchmont, NY) 2012
""Thanks! I'm finally beginning to wind down from the entire year. I'm looking forward to my freshman year (wow, again?!) …different scenery, different people, different classes, and most of all a different routine! I can't begin to tell you how much you have helped me this year. I want to thank you for your dedication and expertise; I truly wouldn't have made it without you!""
Student, LaGuardia High School (New York, NY) 2011
""My experience with Collegistics was incredible - my son was not a 'typical' high school student applying to college, but had taken time off from college to reconsider his goals and education. He also had decided to do a non-academic semester in Israel. Collegistics worked with my son in a way that was both respectful and supportive. His team left no stone unturned and found every opportunity that might work. Many of these ideas were unique and creative, somewhat different than one might hear at a college meeting. Most importantly, the team made sure he made all of his college deadlines - no easy feat. Schedules and essays were emailed back and forth across thousands of miles. My son got the acceptance that he wanted and he has since returned to school, a successful student. I believe that his experience with Collegistics encouraged this new beginning for him. Thank you Collegistics!!!!!""
