What are people saying about Collegewise Millburn?
I can’t imagine navigating the college application process without Rhiannon’s support. Rhiannon goes above and beyond to make sure her students’ unique personalities and passions are reflected in their applications. Because of her support, I am attending one of my dream schools this fall!

Rhiannon’s advice was essential to our daughter’s successful results. Mariela applied to 13 liberal arts colleges and was accepted to all of them! (One of them had a 37% acceptance rate!) She was offered a full tuition scholarship at Marlboro College and is enrolled there.

Rhiannon is not only a perfect college counselor, but also a funny and kind and amazing person. I don’t know where my college search would have gone without her, but honestly I don’t want to know because she made the whole process so much more manageable and so much better than I ever imagined it would be.

Rhiannon connected immediately with Kelle and was excellent at providing constructive feedback. She kept Kelle on track with milestones and provided great guidance with the college list, the essay, applications and even her interviews. There was barely anything that we had to do!
Michael Keyles, Parent of Kelle Keyles
Boston University
Rhiannon’s guidance helped to put us at ease throughout the entire process, and made us very comfortable formulating and refining our strategy, ultimately landing our son in the college of his choice. We will definitely be calling on Rhiannon when our other three sons are college-ready!
Neslihan & Brian Montag, Parents of Cameron Montag
Carnegie Mellon University
Rhiannon was fantastic! She guided our middle son through the process, raised his awareness to possibilities that would have likely eluded us as parents, and worked tirelessly to make sure we were all on the same page. We will undoubtedly use her again for our youngest…
