Here's what our College Consulting students have to say...

  • “Working with my Elite college counselor was the best experience I could have asked for. Whether it was guiding me through the confusing first steps or putting the finishing touches on an application, they were there to help me every step of the way. Elite's commitment and attention to every small detail elevated my essays from messy soul-searching to polished pieces that represented me in the best possible light to colleges.”

    Cynthia Z.MIT
  • “My counselors gave clear, constructive, invaluable advice that always set me on the right path. They possess invaluable knowledge of the college application process. Numerous times, I walked in completely clueless, with no idea how to structure a certain app. But every time, they helped me perfectly craft my application, managing to fit all facets of my personality into my essays. But most importantly, Elite really cares.”

    Zach O.UCLA
  • “The staff at Elite work as a team, surrounding you with an army of supportive experts, who not only know what they're doing, but actually care and personally go above and beyond to see you succeed. They almost feel like an extended family. You can pay someone to help you with applications, but you can't pay somone to actually care! Elite helped me stand out and get into Princeton. Thank you, thank you, Elite!”

    So F.Princeton University

The entire staff at Elite is extremely friendly and welcoming. It's just a great environment that makes the college application process so much less daunting. I could not have done it without my Elite counselor's support and guidance.
