After interviewing numerous college consultants, my daughter and I chose Jeanette at Wright College Counseling to help guide her through the overwhelming college application process halfway through her junior year (earlier would have even been better as it's never too early to start). Jeanette is very professional and knowledgeable, yet not intimidating, and my daughter felt comfortable meeting with her on Zoom and communicating via text. My daughter communicated with her directly throughout the process, which relieved a lot of stress from me. She would email my husband and me periodically to give us updates and provide relevant resource links about scholarships, FASFA, etc. Not only did Jeanette keep my daughter on schedule with essays and applications, but she even suggested a relevant 1-week summer program opportunity at one of the UC's for her to apply to that we wouldn't have even known about otherwise, into which my daughter applied and was accepted. Jeanette was helpful with suggesting universities to apply to, majors, and even high school classes. She is trustworthy, and knowing she would keep my daughter on track with deadlines and that my daughter would rather accept advice from a professional than from a parent spared me from bugging my daughter about everything myself. Jeanette made it so that I had to do very little, yet still felt like I was part of the process. My daughter was accepted into her dream school (UCSD) as well as many other excellent schools. I trust Jeanette completely and recommend her. I plan to hire her again to assist my other children. read more

I began working with Ms. Jeanette the summer before junior year. She advised me on everything - academics and course rigor, extracurriculars, volunteering, essays, etc. She provided timelines for when things should be done and would check in on my progress frequently. She is quite easy to reach via email or phone and will respond quickly to questions. One of the aspects of her assistance that I found the most helpful was her essay assistance. From brainstorming essay ideas to helping me trim my essays to fit the word count, her help was instrumental in easing my experience with PIQs and essay questions on my applications. Overall, Ms. Jeanette has this calm and collected demeanor that instantly makes you feel like everything is going to be alright, even in the most overwhelming of times; she is encouraging, reassuring, and motivating, and I could see how dedicated she was to helping me reach my goals. With her help, I was accepted into multiple UC schools, and I'm so grateful to have had her throughout the process. 10/10, would recommend! read more

If I could choose a counselor again I would definitely choose Jeanette Wright again! She was very calming in approaching stressful deadlines, yet she upheld the urgency of the matter. During our experience, she was persistent in making sure things get done without ever micromanaging. She was incredibly supportive and allowed a space for me to fully express myself. When she critiqued work, she would never shut me down and make me feel discouraged about essay topics. She would devote extra time and constant re-edits to help me perfect my essays. I will be attending Purdue University next year. I applied for chemical engineering, but got in for a second choice major (Exploratory Studies) that I would have likely never discovered if Jeanette hadn't been my counselor. Jeanette is truly the reason I will be attending Purdue in the fall. Along with her inside and out knowledge of many of the other campuses I applied to, I knew that Jeanette had so much depth in knowledge for choosing a college! 10/5 stars I totally recommend Jeanette! :D :D :D read more

Jeanette has been an amazing college counselor for me! Having a single mother who is an immigrant from South America, available income for college-related expenses and academic guidance has been hard to come by. Jeanette was very understanding in this regard and helped my mother and I make it through the college process, quite successfully. Her help on my applications, essays, and interviews have made a vast contribution on my acceptances to schools such as USC, University of Miami, Georgetown University, and other selective schools! I recommend her very highly! She is so kind, always available to answer any questions, and extremely helpful. I am so grateful to have been influenced and led by such an amazing woman. read more

Jeannette helped lessen my stress around the college application process. She gave me a timeline/deadlines to complete things by and ensured that I understood the process in its entirety. She helped me from the beginning (asking for letters of rec) to the end (touring campuses) of this long process. She always answered my questions and didn't hesitate to meet with me or edit my essays, even on short notice. She also helped me create a resume, apply for a job, and find scholarships, even though these tasks aren't required for the college application process. Overall, Jeannette was very flexible and available as a great resource for me to learn about and go through the college application process. read more

The college application process seemed so daunting before I started, but the second I started working with Jeanette it seemed so easy. She is so organized and makes sure you are up to date with deadlines, writing essays, and helped me create a solid college list to apply to. Jeanette has been working in this field for a while now, and it is very evident that she knows all her stuff and information. When I had a question she wasn't sure about, she would look it up and get back to me as soon as possible. I got into a variety of schools I applied to including: UCLA, UCSB, SDSU, and many others. I 100% recommend working with her, if you want a smooth college application process. read more

Ms. Wright counseled my daughter thought the process of admission to the college. We definitely could never succeed without her. She knows how to apply, write an essay, where and when to submit the application and other documents. My daughter applied to the music schools and went through auditions which was a double burden. Jeanette monitored closely all auditions times, reminded of all requirements. Ms. Write is a very knowledgeable, attentive and responsible counsel. I strongly recommend her to all parents of all "anxious college applicants". You'll feel much safer under her guidance. Thank you very much, dear Jeanette!!!! read more

We used Wright College Counseling over the past year and a half to assist us with the entire college process. Even though it seems like it is something you can do on your own, hiring a professional was the smartest way to go. Another benefit was Jeanette's ability to develop rapport with our son, which in turn motivated him to stay accountable. Having her work with him enabled us to maintain a solid relationship with our son, since we did not have to advise or "hound" him on what needed to be done! He will be attending Flager College in St. Agustine Florida this August. read more

Working with Jeanette has been beyond amazing. Her process from day one (introductory consultation) until the very end is personalized, sincere, helpful, and all around solid.
