Navigating the college application process felt overwhelming at first, especially with all the deadlines and paperwork. The team at Premier College Guidance made everything manageable and stress-free. From the start, they provided personalized support, helping my daughter identify colleges that matched her interests and goals. They kept us on track with every deadline, sending reminders and offering expert advice on essays and applications. Trevors knowledge of the FAFSA process was extremely helpful! They ensured we submitted everything correctly and on time. Most importantly Trevor and Lindsey understood our unique challenges and offered encouragement and resources tailored to our situation. Thanks to their guidance, my daughter felt confident throughout the process and received several acceptance letters! She now attends her first choice dream school! They turned a stressful journey into an exciting and successful experience. I am very grateful for Trevor and Lindsey at Premier College Guidance.

The process felt largely self-directed, with limited one-on-one guidance, little sense of investment in our daughter's individual journey, and no meaningful follow-up. Sessions were group-based, emails were bcc: ed amongst a large group of students, and when she needed personalized support, it often took several days to schedule meetings, with some emails going unanswered. All they did was glance at her PIQs and applications once. Given our level of investment, we expected much more personalized attention, involvement, and genuine interest in her success. What a major disappointment and waste of thousands of dollars!

My son worked with Chris Savage and he was a great guide and cheerleader through the college…read moreadmissions journey. As a parent, if you really want to get in the weeds and be in the process with your kid, this might not be the service for you. But if you want to let your child own this part of their life and let them do it themselves but have a guide, Magellan was great. My son goes to a competitive LAUSD magnet and as good as they are, the counselors can't offer the same level of attention or resources as private schools. I saved all the money on private school tuition, so spending a little money for Magellan was well worth it. My wife and I didn't have the stress of nagging our son for a year and at the end of the day, he has a level of confidence and pride for this life milestone because he did it himself. He'll be attending UC Davis in the fall.

From making college lists to making sure our daughter's essays were the best the could be, Kathy guided her, challenged her, and supported her throughout this journey. . and ultimately celebrated with her when she got into many great colleges and universities, many with substantial merit scholarships. I also appreciated Evelyn providing resources to parents, including live presentations and helpful articles and links. I highly recommend Kathy Kelleher at Magellan College Counseling!

When I met Jodi Redmond, I was sitting at a Coffee Bean in Santa Monica, studying and struggling…read moreover my AP Statistics. As I hail from Calabasas, and was curiously, unusually, and randomly studying in Santa Monica, I will forever consider meeting Jodi the universe's want and the stars aligning. Our casual small talk blossomed into a friendship and mentorship that has allowed me access to new opportunities, the discovery of a strength and belief in myself that was lacking priorly, and access to the hands-down most personalized, sincere, dedicated, charismatic, and intelligent "college counselor" (she is above and beyond a college counselor to me, but an invaluable guidance) imaginable. Jodi and Aureus Prep are entirely devoted to their students. What you want and aim to achieve is their foremost priority. Jodi prepared me for the college realm, and its application to real life situations. She gave me a realistic understanding of what my academics and extra curricular a had to offer to the colleges of my interest, while fostering a personal challenge to aim higher than I would have thought I could achieve. In the end, with Jodi and AP's help, devotion, and support I was admitted to every school of my choice. The endless hours with Jodi of revising, reviewing, and deciding curated not only an successful college profile and a seriously overwhelmed high school senior, incredibly grateful for her choices, but also a constant support-system, friend, and mentor in my moments of panic and bliss. I am honored to be an alumna of Jodi and AP. As an upcoming sophomore at the University of Southern California studying International Relations and Global Business, I can contently, truly, and highly, highly, highly recommend Jodi and AP for your college advisement. Thank you endlessly and eternally Jodi and AP for your guidance throughout the process... You are truly the best of the best.

We found ourselves in a tight spot, and Jodi and the Aureus Prep team really saved the day for us…read more Our timeline was somewhat compressed but Jodi helped our son navigate through the detailed, complex and confusing world of 11 college applications. This was compounded by the added complexity of applying to the music schools within all of these universities. She and her team did amazing work helping our son find his clear and passionate voice in his essays and understanding the unique aspects of what each school needed. We can't thank her and her team enough. He has already been accepted and several of his top choice schools.

Most importantly, she guided him through the college selection and final decision process, which enabled my son to choose a school that was the right fit for him. Diane, who helped with the essay writing, was a tremendous help--bouncing around ideas and providing my son with valuable feedback, correcting his English, and ensuring alignment with the essay prompts. She always provided timely feedback and was instrumental in my son's college acceptances. Thanks to AYtC's help, my son chose UC Berkeley from a pool of many great college options.

Kathryn's got energy, tons of wisdom about this process, and is available at all hours when you've got questions or are just feeling overwhelmed. Hiring her to work with our daughter was the single best decision we made. She kept us all sane, and best of all our daughter gets to attend her top choice for college. Couldn't have done it without Kathryn's help every step of the way. Any family would be lucky to work with her.

I remember rolling out of bed, taking the SAT, and rolling into UCLA. To say the least, the college process today is overwhelming! How do you avoid the gray hairs and the occasional anxiety provoked confrontations with your child? You hire Kathryn Favaro. Kathryn Favaro provides UC, CSU, and Common Application college workshops at the public high school where my kids attend. I was impressed with her workshops. She was organized, current with the application process and provided helpful hints on how to maximize student's college application. I decided to hire Kathryn to review my daughter's essays through 'fresh eyes' with hopes she can help my daughter get past her writer's block. In the short hour she spent with my daughter, they brainstormed and came up with a plan. The process was easy, painless and worth the investment. Never did we feel that our daughter was less a priority than a student receiving more services from Kathryn. She always made herself available. Now that the application process is over (thank goodness!), the waiting game begins. At least my daughter feels she has maximized her opportunities towards getting into college!

They have created a system that truly helps the student organize his/her/their thoughts and ideas in order to put their best foot forward and create a college application that represents who the student is and what their achievements are.
