Jeannine and Whitney were unbelievably helpful with my two daughters’ college application processes. From brainstorming and editing the main essay and many supplementals to making sure my girls’ achievements stood out on the Common App-we couldn’t have done it without them! Jeannine and Whitney are so knowledgeable in helping clients create their college lists with a deep understanding of what schools are looking for in an applicant. Both my girls got into very selective schools- Michigan and Wesleyan- and we are so indebted to the College Rx for making sure their applications were polished, unique and competitive.

These ladies are a life saver! We started our journey with Whitney and Jeannine in 2022 with my twin boys, then my daughter in 2023, and finally with my youngest this year! I can honestly say that I don’t think I would have survived this process without them. They are patient, kind, and my teens found it very easy to connect with them. I'm proud to say that all 4 kids were accepted to their top choice of schools, but more importantly the 3 already living their college lives are thriving exactly where they belong!

My daughter loved her essay writing experience with College Rx! Jeannine set a schedule to provide support & structure to the whole experience. She really helped Amelia find her voice. One week prior to the deadlines, I signed up for the Final Application Review service too! Can't say enough great things. For my son, I will be signing up for the Complete Admissions Package. If you are reading this... YES this service is really worth it. I wish I had found College Rx sooner!

We had an incredible experience working with Whitney and Jeannine. Thanks to their guidance, my son was accepted into his first choice school, Boston College. Whitney has a high level of expertise in college advising and was always available to answer any questions, making the process seamless and stress-free. Jeannine was an invaluable asset when it came to brainstorming and refining his essays-she brought a unique spin to every supplemental question and truly enhanced his writing. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference. I highly recommend their service.

The College Rx was amazing! I've had 2 of my children (and about to sign up my 3rd!) work with Jeannine and Whitney. Both brought such a unique and knowledgeable approach to the application process. Their approach is two-fold, combining their expertise in writing and college admissions. They were warm, easy to work with, and readily available whenever we had questions. I would highly recommend them!

We loved our experience with College Rx! I have twins that worked with Jeannine on their essays and they both found her so helpful and supportive. She was so comfortable and easy to work with and was able to help them bring their ideas to life in a well structured essay. Jeannine is truly the essay whisperer!
