Collegewise helped me choose which colleges to apply to and helped me make my applications much better. I especially wanted to mention Ian Parker, my counselor who really helped me narrow down where to apply and how to maximize my chances of getting in. He was very nice, effective, and honestly just cool.

Selecting a college admission consultant is an important step. After a lot of research and interviews, we decided to go with CollegeWise. Our decision was made considering the reputation and good reviews. Also our interview with Manjot Garcha helped clarify our decision and her guidance and support is really appreciated.

Anita has been an excellent coach to my son Anshuman. She was a very patient and professional counselor. She spent sufficient time with my son & us to understand what was his interests & recommended a successful path for next steps to get the first choice of college for my son. She was an expert in the UC admissions process & guided us step by step through the process. She also gave us sufficient confidence as parents and guided my son throughout high school and the admissions to ensure he reached his goal of Mechanical Engineering in UCR. Thank you Anita for all your guidance!!

Really great people! They work with you every step of the way to streamline your college application process. Without it, I probably would've gotten lost at the first steps.

Nikayla Loy was super helpful in all aspects of the college application process. She really helped me brainstorm and take deep dives into the essays and guided me in the right direction to be way ahead of the curve. She helped me represent the best version of myself on my applications to the colleges. I highly recommend Nikayla and experienced the best results from her guidance!
