How We've Helped Others
College and Career Compass helped me find colleges I would never have thought of. Diving into places that fit with my personality, skills, and interests, I ended up finding options that perfectly catered to my aspirations. This program also heavily helped me navigate my way through the daunting college essays. Apart from simply revising or offering suggestions, its assistance allowed me to pick and confidently complete a personal essay I was passionate about while being able to incorporate information colleges wanted to know about me. Along with the personal essay, College and Career Compass showed me efficient and stress-minimizing ways to approach what seems like a million supplemental essays. Through a step-by-step, paced schedule that worked around my busy lifestyle, I can say I applied to all of my colleges confidently, and I thoroughly recommend College and Career Compass to any secondary education-seeking high school student.
Ms. Esterby has been extremely helpful in my college search. She has gone above and beyond helping me come up with an essay topic, taking my essays to review groups, and even calling a college to see if I would qualify for in-state tuition. Her knowledge inspires confidence in a confusing process. Anyone who gets the chance to work with her is in good hands.
Wouldn't have been able to do it without you. Thank you!
