I want to share my experience with Bay Area College Consulting and Trung - who is the founder and…read moreconsultant of this organization. We are extremely happy with Trung for guiding our son (and me too :-) ) through the College Admissions process. Our son is now admitted to UCLA and I give a huge credit of this achievement  to Trung and his consultation. Trung, very expertly took us through all the intricacies of the college application process and essentially gave a very realistic picture of this very daunting process. Interaction with him greatly demystified the college application process, for us.  This helped our son clearly focus his energies to the right areas without having to second-guess if this was the right thing to do. Right from the beginning Trung was very organized with his approach. -He created a baseline of our son's profile. -Created a list of colleges matching his profile and expectations. -Identified and recommended taking relevant community college courses to augment credentials (super helpful!) -Most Important: Trung recommended the execution of a unique project that showcased abilities that were relevant to his area of interest. I think this really helped towards rounding up our son's overall profile. -And finally, Trung helped us through all the details of the college application process. We are extremely happy with the guidance, counseling and consulting Trung has provided to us. I would happily and highly recommend Trung to any one who wants to prepare themselves, or their child, for the College Application process.

I had a great time with 7EDU. I'm glad to say that even though for the most part, Ive been across…read morethe coast, dealing with the challenge of having online meetings and being unable to walk into the physical office, they've guided me throughout the entire transfer application journey with genuine advice, all while promoting an environment that teaches me how to become a better writer, express myself better, and grow under their supportive guardrails. One of the biggest methodologies that I really enjoyed with them was that I came up with the ideas, I wrote, but they kept the guardrails by pushing me to write in a fulfilling way that still exceeded admissions essays' expectations. With this, students still grow and learn how to find their own voice, a skill that is especially useful throughout life as they apply for future positions. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Jun (the CEO), Rian (my personal essay counselor), and other notable team members in person. I couldn't tell you how nice they all were. They all have tons of kids to take care of, yet it still feels like whenever you sit down with them, you're the only student they're serving. They all have their own lives and stress to deal with, yet I still shared countless laughs, memories, and experiences with them. They have the perfect balance between seeing you grow, while having a memorable experience at the same time. The resources they provide are another topic altogether. You won't have time to fully take advantage of all of their resources, just due to the fact that they have so many. Finally, I'd just like to say that from a student's perspective, the college admissions process has several moving parts nowadays. It IS overwhelming. It IS stressful. And there ARE nights where things won't seem "fun" anymore. Going through it alone during my senior year of high school was exactly that. Going through it with 7EDU during my first year of college was surprisingly different. Yes, there were still countless moving parts, but they genuinely made it feel like we were cruising. I never felt unprepared whenever it was time to submit an application. I never had to pull an all-nighter for college admissions, and I never had to wake up at 5 AM and write for 2 hours straight just to have an essay ready for review. All of this while balancing college life, extracurriculars, grades, social circles, and physical + mental health. If you're considering working with 7EDU, let my journey with them be a point of thought. By the time I signed up with them, I couldn't change what I had done in high school, since I had only signed up by the end of my senior year. I could only grow with them. I didn't have a perfect past record to make it easy, yet they still gave me plenty of resources to become a successful candidate for top schools like NYU.

This is by far the worst counseling service my family has ever worked with, and I strongly advise…read moreevery parent in Cupertino to avoid 7EDU. My child attends one of the top schools in the area, and we have worked with multiple counselors over the years. Nothing compares to how unprofessional, unstructured, and disappointing this experience has been. We paid a significant amount of money expecting real guidance, consistent support, and high‑quality essay feedback. What we actually received was minimal engagement, weak comments, and almost no meaningful involvement in my child's progress. The essay reviews were shockingly low effort, often just a few superficial notes that showed no understanding of competitive admissions or the needs of a high‑performing student. When we raised concerns, the responses were focused entirely on quoting contract language instead of addressing the fact that services were not delivered. There was no accountability, no ownership, and no willingness to acknowledge the gap between what was promised and what was provided. Even after weeks of stress and repeated attempts to resolve the issue respectfully, 7EDU refused to refund money for services that were clearly not delivered. Our family went through significant emotional distress trying to get a fair resolution. Instead of professionalism, we received rigid, dismissive responses that ignored the reality of our experience. Their so‑called goodwill offer did nothing to address the core issue: they collected payment without providing the level of service they advertised. For any family in Cupertino expecting real expertise, compassion, and reliability, this is not the place. The difference between their marketing and their actual service quality is enormous. Based on our experience, I would give zero stars if that were possible. I cannot recommend 7EDU to anyone, and I strongly encourage parents to look elsewhere for counseling support.

We have our son enrolled for their college prep program. This is a second company we are trying as…read moreour daughter used a different place and like Flex much more. They have a good program and the quality of their SAT prep classes are very good. I am a bit concerned that they don't offer as many enrichment classes and they are not really classes as they are tutorials during the academic year. We are used to the enrichment classes. If your child has a teacher in school that doesn't teach well, there is very little you can do at Flex as there are classes helping you with questions but not teaching per se. Also the enrollment is limited and if you sign up for the all in one package, you would expect to have the availability but the classes fill up fast. We love our college counselor; Dan Kwon. He is the best we have had so far. Great character, sense of humor and knows how to reach out to the students at a level they can connect.

Inno-V really helped me open up my college options and allowed me to present my best self to…read morecolleges. As a person who is prone to procrastination, I think having a college counselor definitely helped big time. My counselor helped me pick out my goals, set up a plan, and keep up with my personal deadlines which I would probably have slacked off on if by myself. Of course, this is not to mention the navigation of the different college application sites. (There's literally so many and they would crash ALL THE TIME. Literally don't know where I would be without Vi) Since I attended a large public school, the school counselors' really were not even close to enough. You'd be lucky if they submitted your transcripts for you on time, never mind essays and extracurriculars and stuff. Some of my friends who went without a counselor often found themselves either missing important college deadlines or just not having enough time to edit their 500 essays which, thank god, was not a problem for me. (Even if I finished like LAST LAST min Vi always pulled through for me at the end and got it to me on time and within the word count!) They also really care about your feelings and mental health so you could always talk to them if your encountering anything you don't feel comfortable telling your parents. Really friendly staff as well. It's really only with the help of Inno-V did I up at decent colleges in the end, and I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone reading this!

While most college consulting business won't actively work with you until you became official client, my experience with Inno-V went much beyond the expectations. Rather than typical business relationship, the educational consultant I worked tried to be your best friend and get to know your character to help you become better in academics, experience, and daily life. He would always actively help me brainstorming for my essay prompts. In addition, my consultant was always there for me when I needed help. I was fortunate enough to get acceptances from UC Berkeley Haas school of business, USC Marshall school of business, Emory university, Boston university and all UCs. I would say that I won't be able to get into all those elite programs without inno-V. I highly recommend working with Inno- V counseling because their professional and experience in the industry will prepare you for your future.
