Words…read morecannot express our gratitude for her knowledge, experience, wisdom, vision, and insight into the college preparation and application process. She is patient, and motivating, takes the time, and uses the tools necessary to get to know our children and understand their interests and aspirations, then matches them to amazing programs and college options that allow them to reach their goals. Our children LOVE working with her!! Their growth under her tutelage and guidance has been remarkable to watch! We also LOVE working with her as parents and recommend her without reservation! The college admissions process is complicated, competitive, cumulative, and comprehensive and can strain your relationship with your children. Shannon provides vital support and a buffer between parents and children during the years leading to the college admissions process. She works with students early in their junior high and high school years to optimize their exposure to their area(s) of interest--this is critical and invaluable. Our children have benefited from her guidance immensely and have gained admission to each program they pursued. Shannon is highly knowledgeable of the most fantastic summer and year-round programs that expose our children to competitive academic preparation, full of experiential learning components. Shannon is hyper-connected to invaluable resources. The accumulation of these summer and year-long programs enhances the student experience and their exposure to enriching, comprehensive, cutting-edge, rigorous, and prestigious programs, preparing them skillfully and cumulatively for college and the college application process. Her approach and tools are incredibly organized, user-friendly, real-time, and highly informative, which is superb for parents and children. She will meet your child where she finds them and elevate them while supporting their growth. She has assisted our children with achieving successful academic accomplishments outside of school and has facilitated SAT & ACT preparation tutoring. We highly recommend, without reservation, working with Shannon. She is the BEST!!!!

Shannon truly reduced everyone's stress by helping our son get into his college of choice. She was able to help him bring out the best version of himself on the his essay and the endless forms. With Shannon's help, Oliver got into all six universities that he applied. She took all the guess work out of getting everything done correctly and on time. She truly cares and knows what the colleges are looking for in their students. So happy we found her when we did!! Thanks so much Shannon!!!

I seldom write reviews, and when I do, it is for the extremes: really good or really bad. That…read moresaid, my experience with International College Counselors (ICC) was superb, and I'll explain why in this review. As a high school senior last year, I was worried about compiling all of the components to make "the perfect college application" for the holistic review process that many higher education institutions now use. That's when I decided to look for assistance, which many of my peers refused to do, ultimately leading them to receive a number of declines from low-acceptance-rate schools simply because their application wasn't critiqued enough. After making initial contact with ICC, I connected and began working with Andy. He was caring, persistent, creative, and never made me feel stressed. The only item of dispute I ever had with him was that he is a New York Yankee fan, whereas I am a Boston Red Sox fan. MLB criticism aside, the best part about working with Andy was that he helped showcase me. Showcasing what I already had to offer was essential, something that I was not fully capable of doing before the college application process because I wrote too humbly about myself. He helped me showcase myself without sounding arrogant or shy, which is precisely what I needed! However, I will say that College Counselors at ICC are not there to write your essays or do tasks for you. Instead, they encourage you to make your application authentic. I was initially concerned that my application would not be my own with a College Counselor, but that was not the case with Andy at ICC. As for actual admissions to schools, Andy encouraged me to apply (yes, I almost didn't) to Georgetown University. How right he was because, thus far, it has been such an excellent fit for me! Andy helped me know what schools were a good fit for me and where I was also a good fit for the school. It's a two-way equation. Georgetown was just one of the seven schools Andy helped me get admitted to, and if I had to do it again (not that I would), I wouldn't hesitate to call Andy.

I know many students and friends who have used their services and can honestly say they are extremely satisfied with their service.

She's extremely attentive to detail and to deadlines which was a enormous help. Can't thank her enough. I wholeheartedly recommend ICC for their professionalism and dedication to helping the students get to where they want to go.

For this…read morereason, I feel like you can really tell that they care about their students and are not there for the money. The campuses are kept fairly clean and look really nice, especially gardens with its recent glow up. I also just love the atmosphere of the library there as well. Yes, you will have your occasional frustrating professor or unhelpful advisor, but that's normal and happens everywhere. Palm Beach State is so affordable and has kept their tuition costs low in comparison to rising inflation rates and insanely high costs of living. You get what you pay for, but also so much more if you find a way to get involved. The opportunities to grow are definitely here, you just really have to have the time and apply yourself. After being here for 2 years, I can confidently say PBSC is the perfect steppingstone for any ambitious person seeking higher education. If you are unsure of your major or what you want to do, please come here. You get exposed to a little bit of everything for cheap. My biggest tip is to interact with the professors and advisors. Most are so kind and have so many connections that will help take you further. Overall, it's a great school. It has as grown and gotten so much better since covid and is worth it.
