I could not have done this without Insight College Consulting. My consultant helped me with my main college essay. When I started with her I told her I already had a draft so I did not expect to have to do much. My dad wanted a professional to look it over to be sure. About 15 drafts later, I cannot believe I ever considered turning in that original essay! She was able to help me find a topic that was uniquely me but also that she knew would work for admission committees. She seemed to know what I wanted to say even when I could not explain it well and then helped me write it better.
I don’t think a lot of students know what to really write. On our first day she said, “Forget everything you learned in English class about writing papers because now you are going to break all of those rules.” She was right. One of the schools I got into was a super reach school and I really believe it was my essay that got me there. I definitely recommend Insight College Consulting and plan to return in four years for help with graduate school applications!

It was a pleasure to work with Insight College Consulting. My consultant was easy to talk to and communicate with. Professional, knowledgeable and caring, all at the same time. She was extremely helpful going through what can be a very stressful process, providing extensive support at every step. Most important - she was personally invested in my son. She really got to know him and what makes him tick. She was able to guide him in his writing to help him personalize and streamline his applications to be school specific...to stand out. It was not just another cookie cutter college application. She went above and beyond to help him showcase himself "on paper". Success was measured by his many acceptances. So pleased with the results, I highly recommend Insight College Consulting.

I can honestly say my daughter would not have gotten into her dream school without Insight College Consulting. The way she connected with my teen was incredible! My daughter actually looked forward to the meetings! As a parent, I loved how easy and stress-free the process was for me. I could step back and let her handle it knowing my child was supported every step of the way. The advice and insights shared were unlike anything we’d ever heard before, and they made all the difference.

ICC has so much expert guidance and comes from an elite admissions background but she is NOT stuffy or pretentious. My kid was not Ivy bound. He was a B/C kid with more potential than his grades reflected. I didn't know if ICC would be the right fit, but she is so warm and truly loves her work. It was hard work but my son landed at a great college that never would have been in reach without ICC. And he learned so much about himself along the way. He is a better student now for working with ICC and we still keep in touch for advice! She changed our lives for the better. Truly!

Your parents sign you up to work with an admissions consultant and you think: fine, they'll help with my essay, pick some schools, and keep me on deadlines. That's what I heard from my friends and their experiences, but ICC is so much more! She definitely did help me with my essays, school list, and deadlines but through that process she helped me to understand myself! She was more like a counselor or therapist who helped me work through my past and find my identity. She was like a friend who laughed and made things fun even when I was feeling the pressure. She was a career coach who helped me find my passions and make a plan to reach my goals. She also taught me so much about how HOW to position my applications and WHY. Not in a fake way but in the realest way you can imagine. Yes, ICC is "college admissions consulting" and I got into several schools that I wanted, but ICC is so much more than that and that's way more important.

I only signed up for essay help with Insight, but I got so much more than that! When we worked on essays, she helped me find self-awareness. This was essential for my essays (and overall applications), but it's so much bigger than that. It's essential for my life.
