Nita June is amazing! She was instrumental in helping both of our very different sons get into the…read moreperfect schools for each of them. Her balance of structure, communication, and energy made each process as stress-free as possible and with material personal attention and progress throughout. When I refer to stress-free, I'm talking for both my sons and my wife and me! Nita is caring and skilled, and she brought out the best in both of our kids. Her encouragement in the writing process for the many essays at many schools led to more creative and insightful narratives. She's a chameleon for different types of students. Our oldest had more of a sense of where he wanted to go and what he wanted to study but wasn't naturally self-driven to get the work done. So for him, Nita masterfully broke down the assignments to make them achievable, and he never complained about having work to do (still trying to figure out this particular magic myself!). He's now a rising Senior at the University of Washington and love it. Our other son is more self-driven to get work done but had very little sense for what he wanted in a school. Nita supported his research on so many different academic, social, and other fronts to first illuminate questions he should ask on college visits and then narrow down his list based on the information he acquired. Now, he's about to enter his Freshman year at Dartmouth College and is so excited! Throughout the process, Nita was supportive and encouraging yet firm. Outside of my wife and me, she was our boys' biggest cheerleader, celebrating all of their successes as enthusiastically as we did. I highly recommend Nita for anyone who is looking for a truly gifted college counselor.

Words really cannot express the gratitude we feel for Shelly! For two years she provided excellent…read moreguidance and ongoing support for our daughter as she navigated the complex, and sometimes daunting, college application process. Shelly provided frank advice, created manageable timelines, and held our daughter accountable to those timelines. She was always available to answer questions or to address any "crisis" issues that we encountered. Shelly cares deeply for her clients, and is committed to their success. She lifted our daughter up and encouraged her when she felt overwhelmed or frustrated, creating the right environment for our daughter to feel confident and proud of all of her applications. With Shelly's help, our daughter received multiple scholarship offers - but most of all, Shelly helped her achieve her goal of getting accepted into her dream college!

We hired Amy and Travis to help us with our two sons application. Our oldest has been in college…read morefor two years and our youngost has just been accepted to college. I dealt mainly with Amy and highly recomend her. She was professional from the start and followed through on every detail. I must also admit that my second son did not make life easy for her nor did he engage properly at the begining. Amy did not give up and in the end my son improved his GPA at school, committed to achieving higher scores on his ACT and underwent a transformation. Amy was part of the team that oversaw that transformation and at all times, I felt thsat she really cared for him and the outcome.

It has been a gift working with Amy and Travis these last three years! From the careful analysis…read moreand understanding of who our daughter was, to thoughtful suggestions of colleges to visit, to careful research on what kinds of support (financial, learning, etc.) each of the colleges offered, to check-lists and reminders, they have thought of everything to keep the college-bound student on track. It was a gift for our daughter to have a thought partner to lens with in this process, and for us as her parents to have a sounding board if we had questions or concerns. Amy's guidance and wisdom was an essential part of this process for all of this. I would highly recommend Macy College Consulting and wish we'd had them for our older daughter's search process.

My son began the program in the fall of his sophomore year of high school. Starting this early has…read moreallowed him to be very prepared for the fall of his senior year of high school. It also enabled him to set up a high school game plan on the jobs he took in high school, along with classes and other activities. The summer between junior and senior year, he worked on his personal statement essay along with the individual essays for the colleges in which he will apply. He had a great head start on these before his senior year classes began. What I love about having Piotr, Jack and the team at Delehey College Consulting behind us, is that they helped preserve the relationship we have with our son. They were there to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. They gave him great feedback on the essays he wrote and even though our son gave them to us to read, the feedback that Piotr provided even though it was similar to our feedback and thoughts, carried more weight as he was the expert in my son's eyes. I don't yet know the outcome of my son's college applications, but I do know that without Delehey College Consulting and Piotr's advice and guidance my son's application would not be as strong as it is and he wouldn't be as prepared as he was at the start of his school year which alleviated a great deal of stress and even got us a thank you for the push to get the essays mostly completed before the school year began. We interviewed several College Consultants and went with the consultant that my son felt most comfortable with and that he could work with the best. Delehey College Consulting wasn't the cheapest option, but in our eyes it was the best option and provided us the best bang for the buck. My son and I have known that we could ask any question and it would be answered in a short amount of time. We know that they will be there for us until my son determines which school he will attend next school year. I honestly can't say I've been disappointed even slightly throughout the contact we've had over the last 2 years and into this school year. If I had another child, we would use Delehey College Consulting for him/her as well. We believe that much in the service and guidance we have received.

As I observed Jack's interaction with my son during the waitlist application process I was struck…read moreat how interactive and positive Jack's approach was in relation to his previous consultant. Jack was extremely thorough and helped my son get accepted to his first choice within 3 weeks, in the first batch of waitlist applicants! What really differentiates Jack is his ability to motivate! I felt my son really put in the extra effort and responded to Jack's direction. So often this is the tiny difference between acceptance and just another application. I would highly recommend Jack to anyone.

I had a good experience with Flatirons Advisors in 2024, but I'm updating my review because my 2025…read moreexperience was very negative and I can no longer recommend them. I have complicated crypto taxes and did my best to communicate this from the start, including a 45-minute call with Steve specifically about my crypto taxes before my 2024 return was filed. I made clear that the documents I sent, including a Schedule 1, were generated by my crypto tax software. In 2025, I discovered that the Schedule 1 income I provided had been left off my 2024 return. Steve never asked me what it was, never requested supporting documentation, and never told me he was omitting it. He simply left it off silently. When I raised it, he claimed he hadn't known I had complicated crypto taxes, which I believe is false and I have messages with the firm showing we discussed it. He also declined to prepare my 2025 return due to the crypto complexity, leaving me to find a new preparer on short notice. When I requested a refund of my 2024 prep fee, he refused unless I provided evidence of the income's source. While compiling that, I found that a mistake in my tax software had overstated the figure, and that the corrected amount was lower. I decided the refund wasn't worth pursuing, and I'm having the amendment handled by another firm. Steve was right to question the number. But the professional response was to ask for documentation before filing, not to silently drop income off a return without a word to the client. At no point did he acknowledge any mistake or take any accountability. In my opinion, that handling was not what a client should expect from a tax preparer, and based on my experience, I can't recommend them.
