WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Stanford University '30

"While I worked with Robert, he answered all my questions in an extremely knowledgable and just as important, timely, way. Prior to speaking with him, applying felt extremely daunting. I didn't know where I wanted to apply but he was able to help me from refining my application to sharing small details about schools that I hadn't even considered. I recommend him to the highest extent possible for anyone looking for a dedicated and communicative college counselor. "

"Working with Ascendia during junior and senior years was one of the best decisions I made while applying to college. Their team was incredibly accessible and responsive throughout the application period, and as I went back and forth with the team, every piece of feedback I received was so thoughtful and detailed. They have an extremely sharp eye for strategic changes, especially in refining my activities. I received nuanced feedback for each activity in my list, detailing what made each entry strong or not so strong and exactly how I could improve it. If you're looking for a team that's genuinely invested in helping you put together the best possible application, I can't recommend Ascendia highly enough!"
