Steve E.Very Personalized!
“Mrs. Powell was very personable and really got to know me as a person, as well as a student. She helped me find the best colleges to apply to as a transfer student. The amount of detailed work she put in was better than any college search engine out there! I was accepted to 3 out of the 4 colleges I applied to! “
Mr. and Mrs. E.B.A Gem!
“Creating College Options is a gem in the ocean of information on the college application process. The information my son obtained empowered him to make educated choices on summer activities and senior classes. We feel starting to work with CCO in junior year of high school helped our son make informed choices about colleges that were right for him.”
