Compass to College

Marci is a caring, knowledgeable individual that has made my college applications process a thousand times easier.
I haven’t tried other services like Compass to College (I had no need to), but I highly doubt that they are as personal as this is. Marci really took the time to get to know me, and find out what I wanted from college. Her insights into my personality dragged out essays that weren’t just great essays, but reflected my best qualities. She also has very creative ways of using those qualities to make your resume reflect who you are and stand out in the college admission processes. For example, Marci gave me the resources to help start an after school program to get middle school students interested in computer science (something that never came to light by no fault of Marci’s).
Because she has helped so many wonderful individuals, she has so many resources available. Every essay I had to write, she sent me plenty of examples of people writing about similar things, which always helped me have a much clearer idea of what I wanted for my own essays. When I needed to write a resume, she sent me a template (and examples) to help. When we talked about starting a middle school program, she sent me all these documents to focus and clarify my interests and intentions. A couple hours after we talked about summer programs, she sent me a list of hundreds of STEM programs that I could never have compiled myself.
Every time we talked, Marci lifted such heavy weights off my shoulders. It felt so nice to get her emails at the end of our conversation because they were filled with resources that helped make my life and the admissions process much easier.
If you are gonna get a college service like this it has to be with someone that will take the time to get to know you. After the college application process was over and the decision letters had come in, Marci messaged me to find out where I had gotten into and see if I needed help deciding. I had already decided on a small, state school. She was surprised I choose that school. Luckily, she knew me and questioned if it was truly the right fit for me. She guided me to the school I am in love with and am now going to!
I didn’t mean for this to turn into such a long review, but Marci is truly wonderful, and none of the other reviews on here do her justice. Without her I would have been crushed by the college application process.
Good luck to all!
