and Compass College Advisory
"As a working parent, I felt as if I was falling short in supporting my daughter because I did not have the time to dedicate to learning the details of the process. I would recommend Compass’ services because they really get to know your child, their desires, and interests so that they can help them find a college that is the best fit for them. "
"I had many friends who had regular fights with their children over meeting deadlines, creating college lists, and revising essays. We didn’t have any of that because Compass provided a structure for our daughter to do those things herself. In this way, the Compass team helped preserve our relationship with our daughter in an otherwise stressful time."
I think we all would be totally lost without their help! The Compass team has a unique blend of knowledge and resources that are invaluable when your child is applying for college, and they use a systematic and realistic approach that helps the students and parents to remain grounded throughout the process.”
