“Our clients remain the driving force behind what we do. Your student’s success becomes our passion project.”
"We have three kids. Our oldest two decided to apply to universities in state, so the application process, though challenging, was not harrowing. Then our third, our daughter, declared she wanted to apply to big name schools. BIG name schools. This launched a journey of such intensity it was not for the faint of heart. Ferrell was instrumental in helping our daughter gain early admission into Vanderbilt. He knows the system, he lives and breathes the admission criteria, he is straight-talking, enthusiastic and pragmatic. He has our vote of confidence."
"The team at College Guides was very knowledgeable and thorough in guiding our child through college. From time management development, internship applications, to resumes and deadlines they helped with everything. I think that any college student would benefit from the level of support our daughter receive while attending Vanderbilt."
"James’ guidance was greatly appreciated by my family. His professional advice significantly improved the overall college experience for our son who had initially struggled to find his path during his first 2 years of school. Working with James and the team at College Guides lead to him building a resume of qualified experiences for Finance that secured a job 2 months before graduation."
"In 2018 it came time for my daughter Claire to start looking at colleges and we were surprised by the amount of misinformation that circulates about so many schools. My husband and I decided to utilize College Guides to help create an application plan that would fully represent who our daughter was. We were paced through everything, from creating a school list, a resume, even completing essays.
We continued on with CollegeGuides to help our daughter navigate undergrad with a plan. I was afraid we might waste money if our daughter went to school without personalized help. Ferrell never left a question unanswered. His experience speaks for itself.."
"After putting one child through college several years ago, our family wasn't prepared for the changes we found when it was time for our twins to start thinking about where to apply. The College Guides team provided my family with a detailed plan of action that lead to admission and merit offers from several universities.
That was 2019, but I reached back out to CollegeGuides in 2021 as one of my twins was struggling to find her niche at Southern Cal. We were closer to graduation than Freshman year and getting nervous. Working with CollegeGuides again helped my daughter to find her calling and is now early in her career at Deloitte. One happy mom!"
"During my sophomore year at Duke (2022) I was struggling. I didn’t really know what I wanted to study and had confusion on potential career options. I wasn’t receiving any support when I approached school advisors. After speaking with my parents about my situation, we set up a consultation at the suggestion of a sorority sister of mine.
As a student, I received patient guidance and encouragement as I worked to define my profile. Additionally, I was provided with counseling that helped me change my major and lead to multiple interview opportunities. I am now 6 months post grad, working as a Nurse and already considering going to grad school for Anesthesia."
