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.”

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.”

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!”

I don't know what I would have done without my Elite counselor's help and the direct feedback I was given on all of my applications. Elite provided me with structure and flexibility, but most importantly, gave me a safe place to do some serious soul searching. I was able to present myself to colleges in the best light and become a more mature person with my counselor's help.”

My Elite College Consulting counselor definitely knows what she is doing. She has a deep knowledge of the college application process and helped me put my best foot forward. With her help, I got into Cornell University for Computer Science. I absolutely recommend Elite if you are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced college counselor.”

I cannot express how thankful I am for Elite's dedication to helping students like me. When I decided to apply to the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, I reached out to Elite for help with the college application process. I could not have asked for a better teacher, writer, and mentor. I wouldn't be where I am without the mentorship of the amazing staff!”
