Words really cannot express the gratitude we feel for Shelly! For two years she provided excellent…read moreguidance and ongoing support for our daughter as she navigated the complex, and sometimes daunting, college application process. Shelly provided frank advice, created manageable timelines, and held our daughter accountable to those timelines. She was always available to answer questions or to address any "crisis" issues that we encountered. Shelly cares deeply for her clients, and is committed to their success. She lifted our daughter up and encouraged her when she felt overwhelmed or frustrated, creating the right environment for our daughter to feel confident and proud of all of her applications. With Shelly's help, our daughter received multiple scholarship offers - but most of all, Shelly helped her achieve her goal of getting accepted into her dream college!

This past March, I was waitlisted at my top choice, and the odds for getting off were not great…read morewith a measly 1.8% waitlist acceptance rate in the previous year. However, in just over a month of work with Jack, I was accepted in my school's first wave. Jack's waitlist program requires a lot of dedication and work from the student, but Jack will match you in enthusiasm. Jack's passion and knowledge of the waitlist area is grounded in his own experience-- he bases the whole program on what worked for him when he was a high school senior-- and the experience of dozens of students he has helped before. If you're a statistics person, like me, his website outlines how waitlisted students continually beat the odds with his help. Jack helps students stand out beyond the standard letter of continued interest, and by the end of Jack's program, my admissions officer knew who I was out of hundreds of applicants. Jack's advice was invaluable, and I can't recommend him enough to any senior or junior looking for college counseling or waitlist help. I want to briefly add that aside from his fantastic advice, Jack is also a pleasure to work with. He is enthusiastic, passionate, and fun to talk to, which is a startling contrast to some of the other college counselors I've spoken with, who ranged from disconnected to downright unpleasant. If you need help with college or your career, Jack is the way to go.

My son began the program in the fall of his sophomore year of high school. Starting this early has…read moreallowed him to be very prepared for the fall of his senior year of high school. It also enabled him to set up a high school game plan on the jobs he took in high school, along with classes and other activities. The summer between junior and senior year, he worked on his personal statement essay along with the individual essays for the colleges in which he will apply. He had a great head start on these before his senior year classes began. What I love about having Piotr, Jack and the team at Delehey College Consulting behind us, is that they helped preserve the relationship we have with our son. They were there to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. They gave him great feedback on the essays he wrote and even though our son gave them to us to read, the feedback that Piotr provided even though it was similar to our feedback and thoughts, carried more weight as he was the expert in my son's eyes. I don't yet know the outcome of my son's college applications, but I do know that without Delehey College Consulting and Piotr's advice and guidance my son's application would not be as strong as it is and he wouldn't be as prepared as he was at the start of his school year which alleviated a great deal of stress and even got us a thank you for the push to get the essays mostly completed before the school year began. We interviewed several College Consultants and went with the consultant that my son felt most comfortable with and that he could work with the best. Delehey College Consulting wasn't the cheapest option, but in our eyes it was the best option and provided us the best bang for the buck. My son and I have known that we could ask any question and it would be answered in a short amount of time. We know that they will be there for us until my son determines which school he will attend next school year. I honestly can't say I've been disappointed even slightly throughout the contact we've had over the last 2 years and into this school year. If I had another child, we would use Delehey College Consulting for him/her as well. We believe that much in the service and guidance we have received.

We hired Amy and Travis to help us with our two sons application. Our oldest has been in college…read morefor two years and our youngost has just been accepted to college. I dealt mainly with Amy and highly recomend her. She was professional from the start and followed through on every detail. I must also admit that my second son did not make life easy for her nor did he engage properly at the begining. Amy did not give up and in the end my son improved his GPA at school, committed to achieving higher scores on his ACT and underwent a transformation. Amy was part of the team that oversaw that transformation and at all times, I felt thsat she really cared for him and the outcome.

From the careful analysis…read moreand understanding of who our daughter was, to thoughtful suggestions of colleges to visit, to careful research on what kinds of support (financial, learning, etc.) each of the colleges offered, to check-lists and reminders, they have thought of everything to keep the college-bound student on track. It was a gift for our daughter to have a thought partner to lens with in this process, and for us as her parents to have a sounding board if we had questions or concerns. Amy's guidance and wisdom was an essential part of this process for all of this. I would highly recommend Macy College Consulting and wish we'd had them for our older daughter's search process.

Her balance of structure, communication, and energy made each process as stress-free as possible and with material personal attention and progress throughout. When I refer to stress-free, I'm talking for both my sons and my wife and me! Nita is caring and skilled, and she brought out the best in both of our kids. Her encouragement in the writing process for the many essays at many schools led to more creative and insightful narratives. She's a chameleon for different types of students. Our oldest had more of a sense of where he wanted to go and what he wanted to study but wasn't naturally self-driven to get the work done. So for him, Nita masterfully broke down the assignments to make them achievable, and he never complained about having work to do (still trying to figure out this particular magic myself!). He's now a rising Senior at the University of Washington and love it. Our other son is more self-driven to get work done but had very little sense for what he wanted in a school. Nita supported his research on so many different academic, social, and other fronts to first illuminate questions he should ask on college visits and then narrow down his list based on the information he acquired. Now, he's about to enter his Freshman year at Dartmouth College and is so excited! Throughout the process, Nita was supportive and encouraging yet firm. Outside of my wife and me, she was our boys' biggest cheerleader, celebrating all of their successes as enthusiastically as we did. I highly recommend Nita for anyone who is looking for a truly gifted college counselor.

Unfortunately the coach was let go my daughters senior year of Highschool. She quickly knew that the school she was committed to was the wrong choice for her for many different reasons. So, Rex and his world class marketing team came into the picture in the late spring of my daughters Senior year. Candidly, they were unbelievable!! In a matter of days they had done ALL their homework on my daughter and was able to get a profile together that accurately described my daughter and what she was looking for. In a matter of days, my daughter had her own personal website up for all the college coaches in America to view. Within a week Rex and his team had a marketing campaign pulled together and took my daughter out to the world looking for a new school to play soccer at. As one could imagine, my daughter and I were terrified we screwed up her entire college career. I was told by Rex to take a deep breath and let them go to work and do what they do. HIS EXACT WORDS, "WE GOT THIS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, LEAVE EVERYTHING TO US". Within days our phone started blowing up with calls from college recruiters, top schools in the nation were phoning. She got more offers and interest than we ever thought possible. My daughter got more of the proper exposure she needed than any club coach could ever get her. They did exactly what they said they would do and did it when they said they would do it. More importantly, they put our fears and concerns to rest!! I would never try to go through this type of process without Rex and his team ever again. They're the epitome of excellence & professionalism. They don't come any better than Rex and his team!! You can count on them in every aspect of the college journey. Hire them and let the pros do their job, they're the best in the business!!

Jay started off great, helped our son stay focused on applying and talked about fit. However, as a…read moreself employed family we really wanted the financial advice he said he could give us, but that never came to fruition. He never helped us negotiate an offer, we had to bug him for 3 months to fill out the FAFSA/CSS Profile, which is a part of the services we paid for. He told us he would put together an "apples to apples" spreadsheet with all offers our son received. It took us FOUR months of asking for this to receive the correct information. The first several we received had colleges on it we never even looked at, much less applied to. Many emails and phone calls went unanswered. We finally gave up on his services. He doesn't even know where our son decided to go to school.

He was easily worth the hourly fee and saved me many times that amount in college tuition for my twins. With one child at Whitman and one at Smith, Jay was able to provide me direction, explained an error from when I filled out and submitted the FAFSA/CSS, and gave me terrific advice for how to handle the error with each school. He even knew the difference between how the two schools view my assets so I could make better financial decisions without adversely impacting my kids' financial aid. As a single mom getting the kids through school, his help was invaluable. I feel fairly financially savvy. Yet, I took their questions too literally and made a mistake on the FAFSA/CSS that cost my kids money. He has mastered the insanely complex world of financial aid. I cannot recommend Jay enough.
