""I would like to thank you for all you have done for our family. It has been such a relief from the stressful world of college applications once we got on board with Collegistics. I really enjoyed meeting you and learned that keeping me out of the loop a bit really worked in the empowerment department, not to mention that when you lit the fire it was heeded. Thanks for getting tough and being demanding. I am going to recommend you to some friends . . . if they seem to be pulling their hair out! [It] is a beautiful and challenging school - without you we never would have considered it. So it was a lucky day for all of us even though initially we were put off by the distance. Please include [our daughter] in your list of students to guide others in the future." "

""Collegistics was our Sherpa through the rugged terrain of applying to college. They provide expert knowledge throughout the process and gain the confidence of teenagers to make it a less stressful experience. The following are highlights: developing a process to find the "right" school for our son; comforting guide through the entire process; excellent support in essay writing; command of the many tactics and strategies of the process; preparation for interviews that had tangible results. The Collegistics experience exceeded our expectations in every way. Our son could not have been in better hands.""

""Bravo to a team of true blue professionals! I think you have the entire process very well-organized. After meeting and interviewing the student, the Collegistics team very aptly made suggestions as to which colleges were suitable for consideration. In addition, they very successfully kept my son on task; they helped him meet deadlines and organize his time efficiently throughout the college process. Such a professional team is most valuable, even to the most organized student. The college process is difficult to handle while simultaneously trying to meet the demands of the high school curriculum. Lastly, the editing and revision skills of the team were exemplary, and the use of Skype was innovative, particularly when the student and team were unable to meet due to distance and scheduling conflicts.""

""Collegistics became the "go to" people for college questions. They took a lot of the pressure off the parent/child stress that comes with college discussions. It was nice to have a personal resource for any question or concern we had along the way. A resource we would gladly share with any parent and student coming of age. If you want to diffuse the stress swirling around the college application process between you and your child, hiring Collegistics is the best way to do it. They are a warm, intelligent and caring group of professionals with your best interests at heart.""

""Collegistics was very helpful with organization. They helped to reduce the stress that this procedure can often induce. They also helped me a lot with my writing, in both editing and coming up with things to write about. They were also very nice and understanding about this whole process. All in all they were a pleasure to work with." "

""Little did I realize when I made a bid in a 'blind auction' at a charity event that it would be a life-changing event for my daughter. I won the bid from Collegistics, who donated a one-hour consultation. This may actually have changed my daughter's future! My daughter and I were not sure how to properly handle the entire college application and selection process, but hiring this wonderful group of advisors at Collegistics changed all that. They guided my daughter so effortlessly through the entire selection and application process. The college process, though very time consuming, actually became a joy with the caring and unbelievable knowledge and encouragement of the entire team. My daughter's dream of attending her first choice college was fulfilled and for that I can't recommend this group of wonderful counselors highly enough.""

""Thank you so much for all of your hard work and help, I know that your advice has completely transformed my college application experience. I really appreciate all the time and work you have put in to make my application as effective as possible. I'm sorry I was a procrastinator at times, luckily I won't need to write any more of those supplements. I just wanted to write and tell you the good news, I am so excited for college, and I know that without your help, I would not have worked as hard, or have as eloquent essays and I am really grateful."

Student, Rye High School (Rye, NY) 2011

""Collegistics was EXTREMELY organized and informative. GREAT input on essay and supplements, as well as how to list extra-curricular activities. They knew the procedures and dates cold. They also knew the nuances of filling out the Common App--formatting, etc. Their supplemental forms were helpful and their knowledge of colleges was great in creating and narrowing down our list. The team was able to work with my child in such a productive way, getting the most from him. You can tell they really love their job and our children become theirs in a small way. If they didn't know something they would not "wing it"--they would find out the answer. The editing and attention to detail without sacrificing the "big picture" was notable. They served as the "quarterback" in coordinating all the different input and opinions that came up and getting the most out of our son while having him take ownership of this process.""

Parent, New Community Jewish High School (West Hills, CA) 2012

""I hope everyone at Collegistics knows how vital and helpful the service you provide is. You really make the college process go as smoothly as possible, and for that, I can't thank you enough. Thanks for spending so much time and effort helping me with my school choices, applications, resume, and mainly, the essays! You all were so integral in keeping my stress level down through this nerve-racking time, and even more importantly, making sure I put my best work on these applications. I am so grateful to all of you.""

Student, Edgemont High School (Edgemont, NY) 2009

""Having an "impartial" intermediary between parent and child was very helpful in eliminating a lot of the stress that arises during application season. The varied strengths of the Collegistics team were very beneficial in giving the student choices or opinions in how to address different tasks. The ability to draw opinions from a multitude of past experiences combined with the extensive research of college statistics was very helpful in answering questions. Of course, most importantly, the personal, patient availability of the team for both the student and the parents was invaluable. The knowledge, experience, expertise and patience of the Collegistics team, turned a very stressful experience into one that helped educate both parents and children. They were extremely instrumental in fostering an atmosphere in which the students learned how to work together with adults, exchange ideas and respect opinions in an effort to reach their personal goals at the end of their high school career. Thank you Collegistics, we couldn't have done it without you!!!"
