College Vine was definitely worth it
College Vine was definitely worth it. I had a great experience working with the college student assigned to me, they were incredibly helpful and responsive. The only times things were ever complicated was when the person managing my applications was occasionally unresponsive and the time that QA didn't get back to me before I needed to submit my application. But overall, college vine was great!
CollegeVine is great
CollegeVine has helped me in reviewing my essay and provided valuable feedback on my essay rewrite. They spent hours with me discussing my essays. They are great!
Great Resource!
CollegeVine is a great resource in helping students figure out how they want to approach the college admissions process and in helping refine essays to be as well stated as they can be (the main reason why I sought their help). There seems to be various options to fit individual needs, ranging from getting advice on managing high school life to choosing the right college for you!
Nice help
They seem to understand the process very well, and they take the information you feed them to help create organized essays that reflect what you tell them. I emphasize what you tell them because they don't know you, so you need to tell them exactly everything you want to include in your essays.
We were absolutely thrilled...
We were absolutely thrilled and extremely excited to learn that our son was accepted to his top university choice during early action rounds.
It was very a emotional moment for us all and we were happy that all of the hard work and effort he put in at school, extracurricular activities, standardized testing and finally the application processs allowed him to receive an acceptance to his first choice university.
We are personally grateful for all the hard work, genuine interest and care that his CollegeVine mentors and advisors provided...at first during this junior year to guide his planning for AP exams and SAT/ACT prep as well as his capstone project. And then during the late summer and start of his senior year to put together a strong, well-thought our application package - it clearly helped!
The good news came as an early Christmas gift to us and we look forward to enjoying the holidays with less worry about college applications and to the months ahead as he wraps up his senior year and prepares for the next stage of his life.
Thanks again to CollegeVine for helping us navigate the journey the past two years!

College Apps is really helpful for guiding people through the application process. Although there are things to consider like how much money is really worth the meetings. If you are willing to spend the money you will benefit from the program undoubtedly.
Great support!!
Great Program and strongly recommend to all students and parents.
Staffs are very knowledge and patient to my child. They managed the schedule well and provided great advise on all aspect of admission.
We really appreciated their advice. My other child works for Collegevine too.

The consultants are very knowledgable and use evidenced data alongside proven methodology to achieve successful results.
Great SAT Prep
My son recieved SAT prep from College Vine and he raised his SAT score by 170 points. I would use them again for two reasons: first, they fulfilled the contract terms of assessing, review and strategizing with him on a regular scheduled manner; two, the tutor matching process worked- she was personable, very smart, professional and she took great care to explain concepts/discuss testing strategy
Made the proces easy
Made the proces easy, helped me set good deadlines, and ultimately, got me into my dream school.
No one communicates with each dept
No one communicates with each dept. I had specific request of timelines that my daughter had to go through.
Those requests were not met. I had to call multiple times to follow up as to when he tutoring was to start as they did not start the week I requested.
This list can go on as I have lots more. But my experience was miserable.

Adhya loves working with Connie . Connie has been big a support and has provided guidance as and when needed.
Communications
Making contact with my granddaughter was slow initially.
Then, another longer period elapsed when your test that she completed could not be found by you. She did complete the prescribed SAT numbers of sessions but as I recall it was all done the 2 1/2 weeks before she took the test.
Her SAT Math score improved from 720 to 750 and, of course, we were very satisfied, I do, however, believe there is a communications problem that needs to be addressed. Your staff cannot rely on the student getting back to them without attempting to make many attempts of their own including a phone call when nothing else has worked.
Great work!
Had a bit of a scheduling issue in the beginning but CollegeVine did an excellent job on getting things caught up with our Son.
Mentors were really great and worked hard to help.
CollegeVine is great!
CollegeVine is very helpful in reminding busy teenager of deadline and tireless in their reviews of essays.
Also typically teenagers are more willing to accept advises and reminder from near-peer than from parents.

I’m not sure how effective the program was for my child. Scores did not improve by more than 10 points.
