“couldn't help with the Collage Essay "
Rabia S.“Very unprofessional advisor. After a one-hour session and sending the essay twice (the first one 10 days ago) he has not reviewed it nor contacted back. I wasted my minutes on a session and review. I think CollegeVine is a good tool but you need to get advisors serious enough to provide the service you guys sell. Jonathan Sung is not one of them. "
Jorge A.“His advice was helpful, inclusive, and he also encouraged me so much. He is a thoughtful and friendly advisor; talking with him was so enjoyable!"
