    Client Reviews

    Craig Meister was the best decision we made throughout the process. He's simply an expert! He really knew his stuff, everything he advised turned out to be accurate. He was even helpful when the fear and anxiety became overwhelming. My daughter got into her early decision school. Worth every penny!

    Craig Meister was extremely instrumental in keeping my son on track, in addition to rapidly responding to his needs – especially as he neared deadlines. This couldn’t have been easy, given the amount of clients he serves, but my son never felt that Craig wasn’t there for him and alongside him in every step of the process. Craig has good insight and instincts, but is also willling to listen and learn if a student has a unique set of variables — my son had a non-traditional major with extensive application supplements and Craig was still very instrumental in successfully helping him to navigate it. The result: my son was accepted into his two top choices: one – the most competitive in his chosen field of study and two – the highest ranked college in the country! If you are seeking personalized attention from someone who understands the process, I urge you to hire Craig!

    My family would not have gotten through the last year without the CollegeMeister - Craig Meister. The amount of pressure on students from colleges, their peers, and their schools is immense. Craig calmed us. Craig guided us. Craig encouraged us when getting through seemed impossible. Students need an advocate in what has become a vicious admissions scene/industry. Craig is that advocate. Thank you so very much from all of us for being direct and nurturing, optimistic and realistic, and helping us keep things in perspective when every other actor in the process wants to make students lose proper perspective.

    We used Craig for both of our kids. After Craig helped our kids articulate their interests and identify schools where they might be happy, both had a positive experience with admissions and ended up in the right place.
