I have never authorized them to send me texts, and never asked for any information from them, and never given my information or phone number to this company, so they must have misappropriated my information from the local school directory. Stealing and scraping information from a private directory intended to allow parents to communicate with each other at school is highly unethical and we would like them to stop abusing our information.

Patti really helped my son navigate his voice in his college essays. She was also instrumental in…read morehelping him decide where he wanted to apply (and why) and what majors would and wouldn't be a great fit for him, based on getting to know him over the two years they worked together. Once my son decided what he really wanted to pursue, she helped him back into choosing the best colleges within various universities, keeping location, size, campus vibe, cost and other variables in mind. As parents, it was wonderful to have a positive and knowledgable outside influence take the reins in aspects of the process that we didn't know much about. She kept him accountable and on track, while always being upbeat and a pleasure to work with. He submitted all his applications early and was confident that he'd done his best work. I highly recommend Patti to anyone looking for guidance at any point of the admissions process.

As a parent going through their first college application with their child, I strongly urge others…read moreto search elsewhere for college counseling. Despite the positive reviews others have left, my son, Christian felt strongly about Patti's various shortcomings during his college application process. He felt that his questions were left unanswered constantly and oftentimes would leave meetings more confused. He strongly felt that his time would have been better spent somewhere else. To other parents: Please be wary of the unrealistic promises made by this business!

Working with Colledge was a wonderful experience! We can't imagine going through the college…read moreadmission process without the professional, caring and knowledgeable assistance of the Colledge team. They really got to know our family and challenged my daughter to look deep within herself to find out what she really valued in a college experience. They helped her craft her list of potential colleges, guided her through the common application and worked with her to craft thoughtful and original essays that showcased her personality and interests. Kelsey, Jenny and Kelly were instrumental in my daughters college admissions success. I know it is quite an investment but we found it was well worth it.

Working with Colledge was a great decision for us. We called…read moreJenny during our son's junior year. I was worried that he would have to be dragged along every step of the way, but somehow, Jenny, Kelsey, James and the rest of his team inspired him to take control of his own college applications. Since they are so knowledgeable about the process, they really have the timing down. They allow time to explore in the beginning, and really take the time to get to know your child, but then also know when it's time to start prepping for deadlines. This allowed us to really avoid that last minute crunch before applications are due and allowed us as parents to leave it up to him to get it done on his own. The Colledge staff were always available to answer our questions, too, no matter what time of day or night. In the end, he got into his #1 choice, so we would definitely recommend this experience!

My son has worked with Carlos for the last 4 years and my son was admitted to his first choice…read moreschool, UCLA. For these past few years, Carlos has helped my son stay focused and advised him on selecting classes and extra curricular based on his personal skills. He provides valuable insight on the classes and extra curricular where my son should focus. And during senior year, when it came to college admissions, he is able to help him craft meaningful and thoughtful essays for his college applications. This stems from his sincere desire to get to know his students and help them showcase their personalities in the essays. As parents, we are not able to keep up the trends of college admissions process so having an independent advisor who's specialty is to help students through their high school years and advise throughout the college application process has been priceless.

He has supported us at every step and has taken the guesswork out of the entire journey. Carlos is caring, straightforward, and knows exactly how to challenge students while keeping them motivated. His experience as a former admissions director gives him rare insight into the admissions process, and he uses that knowledge to make everything clearer and less overwhelming. He is thoughtful, organized, and truly invested in understanding each student. I recommend Carlos wholeheartedly. My son is a senior now and we are very grateful to have had him guide us through his journey to college.

HS2 and their counselors ease this worry by advising from the early starting point of how to pursue your high school career. Without my counselor, I would have not been able to attend as many internships, clubs, and summer programs as I did to build up my experience. In addition to counseling, there are numerous classes and resources offered to help with AP, SAT, and ACT testing, and classes in general. And most of all, HS2 has been a great help during App Season. My counselor not only provided expert revisions, but because I've had her for all 4 years, she knew about my experiences and spent time to make sure everything I've accomplished was properly concisely convened to admission officers. HS2 has been a great factor in my excellent college admissions.

None of the ten colleges decided by IvyMax for my kid to apply for accepted my kid and we paid $15,000 for its college assistance program and got completely nothing. Furthermore, my kid applied for two colleges without any assistance of IvyMax and both accepted my kid with scholarships awarded. As a parent, I would share this with you so that you will be careful to start or continue any programs marketed by IvyMax at Arcadia Center. I contacted the center manager Mrs. Chen Hong but she would not even acknowledge the incompetency. So don't believe what you see or hear from IvyMax marketing materials and do your own homework before engaging with IvyMax Arcadia Center.

She helped us get in to several of the best and top rated private schools in the state of Hawaii. She then prepared us to be academically ready for the private school curriculum, and even now, we are doing remote tutoring 3X a week and my son is really excelling. He received high honors (3.74 GPA) on his first report card in middle school n before that was just a B level student. This school pushes challenging academics and they really make their students earn their grades. We would never have been prepared for this type of curriculum had we not been constantly receiving enrichment from Elevate. I've told Serena that I was willing to pay full price even though we are totally remote and still it is so worth it. She's accommodating and extremely organized with scheduling while working so hard to advocate for both of my kids. Don't get me wrong, we have found a handful of really excellent tutors to work with us in person while we are in Hawaii. However none of them offer the services that Serena does, STEM classes, coding classes, book clubs, contests, pre-k tutoring, and she even worked to throw a private party for my son.... as that is what he wanted. We are never leaving as long as my kids are enrolled in school.
