Our experience with Patti and College Circuit has been beyond [our] expectations. Patti really listened to my daughter and got who she was and what she wanted out of her college experience. My daughter had someone she could trust and rely upon to help her complete the applications and all the essays, and someone who really had deep knowledge of what each college is like and what they are looking for. It is a stressful process, but Patti was the rock that helped my daughter have a very successful outcome. Without the expertise Patti bought in navigating the process, the outcome could have been different. I have no reservations in saying you will be very happy you hired College Circuit to help your son or daughter.


Patti helped our son find and develop his inner passion. Her calm even demeanor kept the whole process running smoothly. Whenever we had an opinion different than our son's, our standard reply was "ask Patti."
