Carlos has been helping my son since the 9th grade, and from the beginning he guided him in selecting and designing the right high-school curriculum. He has supported us at every step and has taken the guesswork out of the entire journey. Carlos is caring, straightforward, and knows exactly how to challenge students while keeping them motivated. His experience as a former admissions director gives him rare insight into the admissions process, and he uses that knowledge to make everything clearer and less overwhelming. He is thoughtful, organized, and truly invested in understanding each student. I recommend Carlos wholeheartedly. My son is a senior now and we are very grateful to have had him guide us through his journey to college. read more

With Carlos' help my son got into UC Berkeley for Mechanical Engineering this year. UC Berkeley is known as #3 school in the world for this major. I know he would not have achieved his dreams without Carlos' help. His results speak for themselves. Thank you again Carlos for helping both of my children get into amazing universities! read more

This year's college admittance was brutal. Many top students ended-up with only lower tier state college or Cal State admittances. My daughter worked with Carlos all 4 years. With Carlos savvy advice she was confident of making the right steps towards her dream school. She was admitted this spring to a top tier Ivy League school on an academic scholarship. Even though both my husband an I are educators, the landscape for college admissions is daunting. These days It is impossible to navigate this without a seasoned college counselor with proven results. I wholeheartedly recommend Carlos Solorio at MyNT in this capacity. We couldn't have done it without you Carlos! Karin read more

Everything you have read or heard about Carlos and his admission guidance and ultimately a student's success is absolutely spot on. His work with our son was thorough and detailed. He set expectations as to what he needed to accomplish during the admissions process, pushed him to produce his best work, and held him to those standards. The expectations he set with us on where he should be applying based on his credentials was incredibly valuable. Carlos listened to our son to hear his wants/dreams from a college experience and also got to know him beyond his "stats" (grades, GPA, extra curriculars). His thoughtfulness on providing a blueprint for "safety" schools, "target" schools, and "reach" schools gave us a realistic view into where our son should be focusing his efforts. Everything he predicted ultimately came in as close to accurate as possible. Our son is going to UC Berkeley in the Fall and we owe a HUGE part of that to Carlos. We cannot say enough about his direction and guidance, we would recommend him to anyone who comes into contact with him. read more

As someone who has never worked with a tutor or outside counselor, I definitely wasn't expecting to seek help from MyNT education; however, due to certain circumstances that greatly constricted my schedule, I knew that I would need help if I were to pass through the college application season successfully. I started working with Carlos and his team much later in the application process compared to other students but despite this Carlos got to work right away and helped me make informed and precise decisions regarding my major and school selections. He is efficient with his work and what I appreciated the most about working with Carlos was his commitment to originality and staying true to character. Carlos would always push me to work and would always keep me on task without actually taking things into his own hands. I think a large criticism that inevitably surfaces when discussing working with independent counselors is that it is not the student's work that got them into college; however, working with Carlos I felt that I was in control of my college application process every step of the way. He is everything that a counselor should be, motivational and encouraging without being pushy or overbearing. I would highly recommend working with Carlos and his team at MyNT, they really take students and simply uncover their true potential. read more

We were referred to MyNT by a former parent and a friend who had used MyNT to successfully assist her 2 college bound kids enter strong Universities. Carlos started working with my son in early Spring Junior year. He took the time to meet with the family and my son early on and get to know us and my son. I was impressed from the beginning. He is easy to talk to, very personable and serious without being stuffy or militant. He created an environment that made my son feel comfortable and provided him an outline to follow for the remainder of the Spring and Summer. He gave him datelines and made suggestions on summer programs, events and courses to take to prepare for the Senior year application process. Once Senior year, started, Carlos was supportive but persistent, pushing my son to meet all deadlines and to seriously consider his goals and which schools to apply. He used his experience to help us understand what to focus for different schools and consistently reviewed my son's essay until it was strong, personal and really reflected my son and his aspirations. Carlos always followed through. He pushed just right, being supportive and demanding when needed. However, he always made it clear to keep the responsibility of the application process on my son. He made our role as parents much easier. When we asked to meet with him as a family, he was supportive and listened to our concerns. Ultimately, he made my son's college application process more organized, more focused, stronger and my son succeeded in being accepted at Harvard. I know that when my daughter becomes a Junior, I look forward to having Carlos and his team at MyNT help our family make the college journey easier again for both daughter and parents. The investment on MyNT is definitely worth it. read more

Let me start by saying I have worked with both Carlos and Marina for years. I worked with Carlos during high school for college prep. He definitely knows his stuff! He motivated me to join various groups and take on activities that would better serve me in the college application process. Even though he knows what colleges want to hear, he always encouraged me to participate in/write about the things I enjoyed. Because of this, I believe my personality shined through my applications. He helped with the many college essays and was very thorough in his work. Although I was never a straight A student, nor did I take any AP classes in high school, I was still accepted to all 12 universities across the US that I had applied to. Marina tutored me in any and all subjects from grade school through college. By the time I had to start thinking about college, she helped me with ACT prep. Under her guidance, I went from a starting score of 18 on a practice test to a score of 30 on the real exam. Although her specialty is in mathematics, she is strong in all other subjects as well. She is very warm and patient with her students--I needed that patience especially. Carlos and his team are great. They give each student the tools and, most importantly, the personalized attention they need to succeed. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. read more

Our older daughter had such a positive experience working with Carlos and Marina. Carlos has an amazing depth of knowledge when it comes to the college admissions process, and he provided our daughter with the guidance that she needed. His ability to connect with her and provide the deadlines that she needed, helped make the application process painless. Carlos also did a fantastic job helping her find summer volunteer opportunities and internships that were not only interesting to her, but helped her application become stronger and more unique. Marina was an important asset in helping our daughter raise her ACT scores. She did a thorough job of assessing our daughter and providing the individual tutoring that she needed to raise her scores. Our younger daughter is also working with Marina and she has also improved her ACT scores. Carlos will also be working with our younger daughter with the application process. His assistance is reassuring to us and we highly recommend MyNT to all who have high school children. Also, do not wait until junior year to begin your work with Carlos. The sooner you meet with him, the easier the process will be! read more

As a mother of twins, I knew I needed help. My two boys were motivated to get into strong schools, but they were also quite independent and not necessarily always on top of deadlines. Carlos was patient, focused and also persistent. He pushed, but not too much - just enough. He and Marina were a big help with selecting schools that fit them and working with them through the application process. The application and essay workshops were enormously helpful and were an opportunity for them to focus and also receive guidance. They were not the easiest students with whom to work. Carlos cajoled, encouraged, pushed and held them accountable when necessary. He helped get them into excellent schools. With his assistance, they got into better schools than they otherwise would have. I am grateful to Carlos for his expertise and assistance. He listened to the boys and to me and we achieved the results we wanted. I would highly recommend investing in MyNT. read more

I was referred to MyNT by one of my good friends when I was frantically trying to navigate the college admissions process by myself. Carlos and his team definitely know their stuff and make the process much more manageable for students and their families. Their guidance throughout the admission process was invaluable. Everyone at MyNT wants to see students succeed and this attitude is reflected in their work ethic and commitment to each and every student. No matter what step of the college admissions process you may be at, MyNT will definitely be of help. Through the help and guidance of the people at MyNT, I was able to get into my dream school. I would highly recommend working with them and making this sometimes stressful process a lot easier. read more

Carlos was the most amazing thing to happen to me and my family. He is there for you morning, afternoon, and night to make sure that you have everything you need to be successful. He understands the process of college admission better than anyone. Carlos knows what it takes to make each individual a successful applicant by focusing in on what makes them unique. We are all so happy with the schools we have gotten into and he is worth every penny we spent and more. His team is great at essay editing, he is extremely organized, and his goals are realistic. My only regret is not starting with him and his team sooner; start freshman year so that there is more time to make you a competitive applicant. read more

We are very pleased with all that Mynt Education has to offer us. My daughters have worked with Marina for many many years. She has helped them with various subjects tutoring through their high school and college years. She is very reliable, patient and knowledgeable. Carlos helped Sofia with her college application process. He kept her in track, focused and confident thought the process. Sofia got into the school of her choice!! I highly recommend Mynt College Counseling and Tutoring. read more

MyNT Education was extremely helpful in finding the right college for my son. Carlos has an abundance of knowledge of the application process and what colleges are looking for. He helped my son narrow down his list of colleges. Carlos created a timeline and divided the workload into doable segments so that the overall process was not overwhelming. He has great insight when it comes to the essay portion of the application. My son was accepted into several colleges and decided to attend Vassar College. I highly recommend Carlos. read more

Personally, I am extremely thankful for having MyNT help me with my college application process. I started working with Carlos back when I was a junior, and I don't regret it one bit. When it came to college apps, I absolutely had no idea where to start: how to apply to schools, how to submit applications, and so forth. The whole process was intimidating at first. However, working with Carlos was a real blessing. He provided the guidance that allowed me to successfully and efficiently complete the college apps, minimizing my stress greatly during my senior year of high school. Truthfully, Carlos not only guided me with the college application process, but he also made me grow as an individual and helped me dig deeper into myself and find out who I am as a student. Carlos is great at managing time and getting things accomplished before deadlines approach. Carlos has great experience with the college application process, and for all those students who need some guidance, I would definitely recommend getting Carlos as your counselor. My friends who also had Carlos as a counselor along with myself found great success in our college apps. You can't go wrong working with MyNT. read more
