Student Success Stories

Begin your story today

Columbia University, Class of 2025

“My coach helped me incredibly by firstly organizing my time and tasks, giving detailed comments (even on short notice!!) and having open discussions about my goals and ways to reach them. ”

Boiken J.

Stanford University, Class of 2025

“The Princeton Review was essential to my college acceptances. My counselor and coach were very helpful during the process, and I did not feel lost while applying. The essay support was helpful as well because it allowed me to edit other essays I wrote too.”

Eric Jones.

Yale University, Class of 2024

“I found the program rather helpful in encouraging me to feel confident throughout my journey through the college application process. By prompting me to start researching early, I felt much more prepared later on when I wrote my essays and decided between which school I should attend after decisions were released.”

Annie L.

Duke University, Class of 2024

“As the first person in my family to go through the undergraduate application process in this country, the process seemed daunting. One of the major aspects of applications to top schools are the Common App essay and supplemental essays. Coach Alana and my counselor (Julia) spent time and effort reviewing my responses and editing them for months! ”

Kishen M.

Brown University, Class of 2024

“Emily was fantastic and answered all of my questions even when the time for deadlines were approaching and things were crazy! I am so grateful to have had this resource and I believe it truly helped me get into my top school. ”

Katie D.

Cornell University, Class of 2025

“ It definitely helped me get organized and broke down the process into manageable steps. College admissions can be incredibly stressful, so a plan is absolutely essential to success.”

Robert F.

University of Illinois at Chicago, Class of 2024

“They were very supportive and got back to my emails quite quickly. I truly believe Julia and Alaynas help allowed me to get into the number of colleges that I did. They helped me spice up my resume by adding things I didn't even know counted as accomplishments, and Julia's guidance with my Common App essay made it way better than I could've written myself.”

Preethi N.

University of Oxford, Class of 2024

“I had an amazing experience and the admissions counseling was so helpful to make sure I was keeping track of all the deadlines and little tasks that had to be done! I felt confident in all my applications and knew I was putting my best foot forward thanks to the program! ”

Cassidy H.

University of Richmond, Class of 2025

“They helped me manage my time and set a schedule that I could follow and know what I should be doing, which helped to reduce the stress and allow me to organize everything and know what needs to be done. They also helped me with choosing what colleges fit me and which ones I should apply to. Not only that they also helped me with my essays.”

Dennis X.

University of Pennsylvania, Class of 2025

“ Awesome continual support! ”

Logan F.

Ohio State University, Class of 2025

“ The Princeton Review helped me a lot with my Common Application (especially the activity descriptions). It also helped me a lot with my primary college essay as well as the supplemental essays for specific schools.”

Rishil P.

New York University, Class of 2025

“It helped me think more openly about colleges and understand how to narrow my search. I was able to stress less and be more productive. ”

Menoor L.

Georgia Tech, Class of 2025

“It got me past my mental freeze on what to write my essay about.”

Macon B.

UCLA, Class of 2025

“It helped me stay on top of my college applications. ”

Elsie L.

University of Colorado Boulder, Class of 2025

“I learned how to perfect my application and make it as good as possible.”

Isabella A.

Boston College, Class of 2025

“Helped with my essays and made me think about what I wanted in a school. ”

Zack G.

Villanova University, Class of 2023

“The program provided a lot of personalized attention to my application and what I wanted to achieve from the college process. The program was especially helpful with writing the main common app essay and for the school specific essays. It was also great to talk on video chat with the counselor and coach.”

Steven S.

Michigan State, Class of 2023

“The common app program can be confusing so just having someone able to coach you through the application was soothing! …I had no knowledge on how to communicate to the admissions board that I had an immune deficiency explaining my poor attendance transcript in high school. However, the counselors provided by the Princeton Review gave us the tools to advocate for my health condition while still highlighting my strong grades and extra curricular activities. ”

Gabby B.

Princeton University, Class of 2022

“My coach and counselor were absolutely amazing! Their expertise and knowledge gave me the confidence so much needed in that time of stress. Their feedback was always right to the point and motivated me to improve my essays and better articulate my EC list. [My coach] was always available to help and it was just an email away. I couldn’t have asked for a better Coach! Thank Princeton Review for having the best coaches and college counselors! ”

Martin H.

U Penn, Class of 2022

“It was a great experience and certainly worth every penny; I would recommend it to any friend or family member who is preparing to endure the college admission process.”

Reid H.

University of California, Class of 2022

“ It was simply an enriching experience. Apart from the interesting side conversations we had, the program itself really opened my eyes to the expectations of all admissions officers. Although I used the program for only one university, it helped me get some insight into essay writing etc. for the others."

Ashwin R.

Boston University, Class of 2021

“My coach and counselor were extremely helpful in putting together a balanced list of schools and refining my essay and extracurriculars to make them impactful. They helped keep me on track by providing manageable deadlines. The video conference was super helpful in talking through my areas of interests and strengths. I also appreciated their guidance in selecting senior year classes. Their support throughout this process really helped me fell ahead of my peers. "

Tyler J.

University of San Diego, Class of 2022

"My coach did a fantastic job, very helpful and accessible whenever we needed advice. Her guidance was very insightful and helped me to find the right college for me. "

Dominic S.

Clemson University, Class of 2022

" I felt that the program went above and beyond for me especially with my essay. I wasn't confident with the strength of my essay at the beginning, but after working through it with my coach I had an essay that I was proud of."

Domenic B.

American University, Class of 2022

"If it wasnt for my counselors I wouldnt of known where to go to college or what to do with my life I’m very grateful for everything they’ve done. "
