Greg was recommended by a friend of mine and at first I wasn't sure we would need him. My son had a…read moregreat GPA and very good SAT score, so we thought we could do all the college applications essays himself. Well, a month before he was supposed to submit his essays he decided that he did not like what he wrote and that it wasn't representing who he was. In a panic mode we contacted Greg to help. In just a month they were able to do an incredible common app essay and over 10 supplemental essays for all the EAs my son was sending out. In short 2 months my son was able to submit around 40 supplemental essays to various top 20 Engineering schools. Greg provided an amazing structure, accountability and results. It made the process so much easier and stress free, not only for my son, but also for us, the parents. And the best part of this process is, that it gave my son a much clearer picture of who he was, what he strengths are, he was able to grasp all his accomplishments from someone that has never met him before and it's not his relative. PARENTS this is HUGE for a teenager!!! We are early in the game but so far from the 2 universities that my son applied early to, with decisions by the end of the year, he was accepted to both. We can't wait to see where he ends up going! Thanks Greg, for all your help!

We decided to hire…read moreGreg during the summer between 9th and 10th grade as the college app landscape has changed so drastically. He has helped us with some critical course selection choices. We will use him for ACT prep this summer as well as math tutoring. We know this is an area of strength for Greg, as tutoring was his prior career. Greg has a great demeanor. He is very approachable and he listens attentively. Greg provides balanced, fair, and honest feedback that leaves us realistic yet hopeful about college prospects. We feel so fortunate to have found an "all in one" tutor and college counselor who will guide us through these next few years.

We moved away for two years to a different state during high school but my son was miserable and his grades went into the dumps... Let's just say, beyond dumps! This was such a hard pill to swallow because we moved for specific reasons not ever thinking that his grades would be affected. I have known Chrissy for about 13 years. She use to be a very sought-after teacher in OC but a few years back she quit her career and started her own business helping kids through the college application process. I reached out to her during my son's junior year in January in desperate need, praying that she could help us. My kid did not want to go through the JC route like my daughter did but he knew that he screwed up the two years that we were out of state. Our family sat down on a Zoom with Chrissy while we were still living out of state, and here's the kicker... she had a plan, while we did not. Our kid would need to Zoom with her almost weekly, work hard in his classes and get his grades up, take some summer classes, work on college essays with her, study different universities, and really get his sh*t together. We knew it wouldn't be easy but we had faith that if he could turn his grades around with A LOT of hard work he just might be able to go to a four-year college. As I write this today, I'm so proud to say that he pulled a 4.0 his first semester after moving back home (felt like I had my boy back). And he also completed those two summer classes and passed with flying colors. He applied to 10 colleges and received 9 acceptances!!! We are thrilled and beyond thankful for Chrissy and her services, we cannot recommend her enough!

If you need help sourcing available options for drug rehab programs, whether it is modest or severe, I would recommend you call Debbie Hopper at Academic Advisors.

She presented options that fit our criteria and right placed us in a 3-month program.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy and her college counseling services at Great…read moreCollege Fit. After our son, Mason, interviewed three potential counselors, it was clear that Amy was the perfect fit for him. Her extensive knowledge of colleges--considering academics, social environment, and degree programs--gave us a tremendous sense of relief, especially since we weren't sure where to start for choosing the best college fit for him and his particular major. Amy worked closely with Mason one-on-one throughout the entire process, allowing me to take a step back and trust that everything was in great hands. We met with her once to review his top choices and provide our input, and from that point forward, Amy handled everything seamlessly. Having gone through the college application process with my daughter for nursing two years ago--doing all the research and applications --I can confidently say that working with Amy made all the difference. What was once a stressful experience became an enjoyable and exciting journey for both my son and me. Amy took the time to truly understand Mason by assessing his personality and needs, introducing us to schools both in-state and out-of-state that we had never even considered. Her guidance on essays and her support in navigating the complex application process were invaluable. She managed the intricate details, ensuring deadlines were met and applications were submitted smoothly. Amy has been an absolute dream to work with, and we are now eagerly awaiting Mason's acceptance letters. This experience has been a world apart from the stress I faced when helping my daughter. My son adores Amy, and we do too. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to finding the best college fit for your child, we wholeheartedly recommend Amy at Great College Fit.

Parents thank him by the hundreds for his invaluable contributions to our discussions - and his YouTube videos are a great resource, too. Although we don't live in the area, when my daughter needed guidance on some very specific questions regarding her UC application, I knew that Joey had the exact expertise to help her through the process. As a UC expert, I felt very confident that his consulting services would be beneficial in helping my daughter put her best foot forward as we slogged through the complicated journey of applying to these highly competitive, top-tier flagship schools here in California. Utilizing Joey's services was a great decision and my daughter was very comfortable working directly with him as he reviewed her application and made meaningful suggestions to help her through the final application phases. I appreciate his responsiveness and kindness in working with my daughter through this stressful time. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other parents also seeking a professional consultant who is well-versed in the mechanics of how to produce impactful and successful UC applications.
