Outstanding College Admission Consultant We had an amazing experience working with Chris during my daughter's college admission process. It was so helpful since this was our first experience. He was truly exceptional, and I couldn't be happier with the support he provided to our family. From the very beginning, Chris met with us and spoke to the whole family, giving us an overview of everything we'd be dealing with and the critical timeline of everything. He said he'd be there for us every step of the way, and he was! Whenever I needed him, I could text, email, or call him, and he was always super responsive and ready to help. Chris had an incredible amount of knowledge about every college, which really helped my daughter find the right path. The whole financial aid and merit process can be super overwhelming, especially if you've never gone through it before, but Chris was there to guide us every step of the way. There were so many things that could've gone wrong, but he had our back and made sure everything was taken care of. I seriously can't recommend Chris enough - his service was top-notch! If you're overwhelmed with how to help your kids through the college admission process, Chris is your guy. You won't regret it! read more

I hired Expedition Admissions Consulting while my son was a high school senior. He came highly recommended, and he was amazing. The process was so easy, and incredibly convenient. Chris visited us at our home (free consult - how can you go wrong?!!) , and he set a plan in action, when we had none. Our son had ideas, but no idea what he wanted to do. Chris got to know our son's likes and dislikes, (via our meetings and personality questionairres) and helped him develop several option plans. As a parent with absolutely no experience in this college choice process, I learned a lot at this consult, and knew we were going to need guidance. He set a plan in motion, recommended schools to look at based on my son's likes and dislikes, and he guided us through all the college and financial applications. My son was accepted to several colleges! Then, he helped us narrow them down, in black and white, costs and all. Then, he helped us secure even more scholarship money! My son just selected his school, and is thrilled with his choice. And we owe a lot to Chris. I highly recommend Expedition Admissions - THE BEST! read more

I give Chris my highest recommendation. My daughter was a little behind the eight ball when she was in the middle of the application process. I reached out to Chris because I was feeling overwhelmed. Even though I went to college, the process now is a totally different ballgame. Chris helped us navigate the entire process. He met with us (on a weekend) as soon as I reached out to him. After our first meeting, I felt a lot better. He really took the time to get to know my daughter and what her goals were. From there, he kept us on track, sending out reminders and information we needed to know at each stage of the process. He reviewed my daughter's college essay and made corrections/suggestions. Anytime we had a question, he responded right away and was always available. My daughter was initially deferred from early decision at her dream school and Chris was right there to advise her what to do. Eventually she was accepted and I can't thank Chris enough. It was an important investment and Chris delivered throughout the process. Worth EVERY penny. Thank you so much for your help Chris. read more

We can't say enough positive things about our experience working with Chris! Over two years ago now, as our oldest was embarking on her college search journey, we began feeling quite overwhelmed about the daunting task ahead for her and for us. Fortunately, we learned of Chris' services and soon met with him. We immediately felt at ease as we sat with Chris in our backyard and he began explaining the process to us, and specifically our daughter. Chris quickly developed a list of public and private schools based on our needs and we began visiting campuses and taking tours, and with his calm and reassuring guidance the list shortened and eventually became a list of target schools to which we applied. In the end, our daughter will be attending the first school Chris had recommended and the first school we visited with our daughter which seems like an ideal fit both academically and financially. Chris' services proved invaluable for us and made the college selection process very enjoyable, efficient and nearly stress-free! read more

The professionalism of Chris Tamis was extraordinary and beyond our expectations. During this overwhelming process, Chris was always available to offer level headed advice while keeping our daughter's expectations realistic. He managed a delicate balance, always offering inspiration and meaningful feedback. His knowledge of the nuances of each college was impressive. With his input, my daughter managed the process independent of my husband and I. Together they became a team, fine-tuning essays with as many rewrites as necessary. The level of attention that he offered to our daughter actually made us feel like she was his only client! In a world where so many people over promise and under deliver, I can not say enough how much we feel that this was the best decision we could have made. Our daughter cast a wide net, she managed to get accepted to her number one choice, and then her super reach, securing a coveted Ivy. Look no further. He's the guy! read more

I wish I could give Chris 10 Stars for how amazing he is. This was our first child in high school and as parents we did not know where to begin in the college process. Things have changed so much since we graduated. From the very first time we met with Chris, we knew we were in great hands. He had so many tools to help our son find a list of schools that would be a good fit for him and kept him on track so that while many others were scrambling to get their applications out, he was ahead of schedule. Chris compiled a perfect list of schools for us to visit and after narrowing our list down to 14 schools, we were very, very proud of our son's outstanding acceptance rate. Even after our son reached his decision, Chris was still available and checked in often. If you have a child who is in high school and need a college consultant to help you on this journey RUN don't walk to Expedition Admissions Consulting! You will be so happy you did! read more

As a single parent, with only one child, I was struggling with the college process. Where to begin the search, the paperwork, when to apply, the list seemed endless. Chris was recommended by a friend to help. He assisted us through the entire process. He asked questions that helped my daughter narrow down her search of colleges that would best fit her personal and academic requirements as well as my financial needs. He is extremely knowledgeable about the colleges, what they offer and the application processes. We planned our college road trips taking into account his recommendations and advice. He took time to discuss questions to ask, and things to look for based on our specific needs. Without his help, we would probably still be fumbling through where to apply. If you are in need of someone to make your college search a breeze, give Chris a call. read more

We highly recommend Chris for families going through the college preparation, application, and admissions process. With our first of four starting college in the fall, we are very grateful for the assistance, advice, and guidance that Chris offered. His help kept our son organized and focused on each step of the process at the right time. Chris answered all of our questions and provided suggestions. His knowledge and experience with the entire process were such a benefit to us. This could have been a very overwhelming and daunting process, but with Chris's support, we did not feel the stress we had anticipated. We plan to return with our other children as his help and insight were invaluable. Our son was offered admission into the honors programs of five different schools, and we are all happy with his final choice and excited for the fall. read more

I am a graduating senior and my family hired Chris in my junior year. I got into my top choice, and I could not have gotten there without the help and service provided by Chris. Trying to get through junior and senior year, and keeping up with outside activities was stressful enough. Adding in how to figure out the entire college selection process would have been a disaster. Chris was available any time as my busy schedule would allow, and he kept me and my family focused on approaching choosing the best college fit for me. The program he offers is easier to use than Naviance, and his tips for moving me along the process were easy to following, even though it's a time consuming process. I'm totally thankful for the service Chris provided, and you will be too. Don't give it a second thought....hire Chris! read more

We began the process on our own. After a very short while, we reached out to Chris and Expedition Admissions. The college application process is a very confusing and demanding process. There is so much at stake. Chris kept us on point, was ALWAYS available and made the process easy to understand and very manageable. He worked with my son to find the best fit for him, academically and socially, where he will thrive! We cast a wide net of 17 schools. My son was accepted to ALL OF THEM!!!! The investment my son made in himself, working hard through school, was supported in the investment of college planning. Thank you Chris,!! read more

We are busy, high school students are unorganized and the whole college application process can be overwhelming. Enter Chris and his staff. They will help organize the whole process from start to finish. Chris helps breakdown colleges into categories ranging from safe to reach to super reach. Then he will guide you through the application process, helping with essays and keeping students on task with assignments and deadlines. We have used Expedition Admissions Consulting for two students and we have only positive things to say. Thank you Chris and staff. read more

I wish that I could give Expedition more than 5 stars! No matter what question I threw Chris' way, he had the answer and I never stumped him once (and I do my own research and wasn't asking basic questions!). He was also extremely prompt in returning emails and calls. He worked great with my teenage son and made us both feel very comfortable during a process that was extremely overwhelming at times. We've already told Chris we will be using his services when our daughter applies to schools! read more

I'm not sure that we would have made it through this whole process without Chris' guidance and knowledge of everything from Naviance to information about all colleges our son was considering. He was very professional, quick with answers to our numerous questions, and supplied a steady flow of very helpful emails. We are getting ready to start this whole process all over again with our daughter and of course Chris' guidance too! I would definitely refer him to our friends! read more

I contacted Expedition Admissions Consulting for information when my daughter was getting super stressed searching for colleges. I knew Chris from high school and knew I could trust him. He talked to my daughter, got her back on track and provided us both with tons of helpful links and information. He definitely knows his stuff!! If you have a kid in high school, this service is very valuable! Highly recommended!! read more

I cannot say enough about Chris Tamis and his services. He gave us great advice and guided us step-by-step through our son's College application process. He simplified the entire process for us and helped us make educated decisions without all of the fear and stress of doing it on our own. Our son got into every College he applied to, and is confident in and excited about his final choice. Definitely worth every penny! read more

I highly recommend Mr Tamis services. The college search was challenging but with his services we were admitted to 9 out of 11 schools. He met with us and helped us with all our applications, essays, even scholarship essays after we had commited. From start to finish he really made the whole process easy. He answered us proptly with all questions we had. Truly a great help with all of our decisions. Thank you Chris! read more

Chris was absolutely wonderful from the minute we sat down with him until my daughter's acceptance. He guided us and opened our eyes to schools that we would never have thought of. The school that my daughter chose was actually not even on our radar until Chris opened our eyes to it. We are looking forward to working with Chris again with my son. We could not have asked for a better experience read more

We found working with Chris extremely helpful while working through the college admissions process. He was insightful, very knowledgeable and helped us understand things about the college admissions process we would have otherwise missed. When we started this it seemed like a complex and scary maze and we are thankful we had Chris to guide us through it. We highly recommend his services. read more
