What Our Students Say

Hear from students who successfully navigated their college journey with our expert support

β€œThank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me throughout this college application process. The fact that you believed in me enough to take me on as a client in my senior year is still amazing to me, and words cannot express my gratitude. I know that it was through your expertise and guidance that I was able to send in my best possible applications. In the end, I was accepted into 14 of my 18 choices.”

Hannah

Dartmouth College

β€œThe college process was a formidable task for me to handle alone; I had no idea where to begin even constructing a list of the colleges I wanted to apply to, or how to gather all the necessary forms and do all the research needed. College Connections helped me get myself organized and gave me the personal attention I could not get from school counselors or information about what college suited me best. I was accepted to my top choice school, MIT, and accepted elsewhere at UC San Diego, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Stanford.”

Jasmine

MIT

β€œWe have used College Connections twice. With their help both of our sons got early acceptance to their first choice colleges: Stanford & NYU Gallatin. We were hands off and annoyance free! I have and will continue to highly recommend College Connections to every parent of a student applying to college.”

Bob

Father of Jeff and Richard, Stanford and NYU

β€œThe college admissions process can be daunting, but my college counselor made my experience much easier by helping me set out a time line, making sure I stayed on top of things, and explaining all the details and deadlines. She put up with my endless emails and never got tired of reading my essays. Thank you so much!”

Karen

Harvard University

β€œI fully recommend College Connections because they relieve the college stress. I had done a good deal of independent research about how to get into colleges, but I had no idea about how to actually go about applying. College Connections was able to help me compile my applications and essays and was able to answer highly specific questions I could never find answers to elsewhere.”
