TESTIMONIALS

Jessie has been helping and supporting my triplets since sophomore year! We started with her at that time because the kids were looking to get additional advice (besides just that of their guidance counselor at school) as far as helping them with their schedules and deciding how many Honors and AP classes to take. She helped us in those early days with class selections, tutors, and SAT/ACT prep recommendations.

Then moving on to junior year, by that time she knew my kids well and were able to s…

Congratulations to all of our applicants! Your hard work has paid off, and your successes are commendable - and all your own!

The YES! List for CompassU 2018

(so far...)

Hollie, whose daughter was accepted at Muhlenberg University, wrote the following testimonial for CompassU. “Jessie was absolutely wonderful for Emily... She also kept me sane. Emily. Was a somewhat unique situation. We did not use a college coach when Emily was looking for colleges the first time around. She was a 4.0 plus student with all honors and AP courses. Emily also was going the student athlete route. We decided on a small school outside of Boston. From the moment Emily arrived for pre-…

Robert was accepted to Millersville University. His mother Robin wrote of CompassU, “Jessie took her time to get to know Robert and get to know what his likes and dislikes were in school and in life. She also really spoke to him and listened to him about what was important to him in a college. She understood my concerns as a parent as to the distance away a college was and the expense for each college. She really tried to fit the college to the student. She encouraged Robert with just the right …

Dorothy’s son Gabriel was accepted to the University of Maryland, College Park. In her review of CompassU’s services, she writes, “Jessie is a strong writer, and her feedback on essays is critical. We have learned more and more with each child that those essays are very important to admissions counselors. She is also quite adept at remembering off the top of her head what each college expects in terms of scores, grades, visits, etc., and is very practical at matching a child's dreams with realit…

I was lucky enough to work with siblings Ryan and Megan last year. One was accepted to Penn State – University Park and the other to West Virginia University. Their mother Connie praised CompassU’s services by writing, “I used Jessie for both of my children, and they both were accepted to their first choice colleges before Halloween of their senior year. Jessie made the whole college application process stress free for me and my children. She provides time lines, guidance, and support through th…

Lennie was accepted to Penn State – University Park. Her mother Jackie writes, “In what can be a stressful time it is wonderful to have Jessie's knowledge and support.”

I can make these work, they are fabulous.

Years ago, during a shopping excursion at the Tannersville Outlet Center in eastern Pennsylvania, I wandered into the Cole Haan store. I browsed the offerings a few times but found I kept returning to a pair of strappy dress sandals. Summer is nearly here, I told myself. And just look at the lovely box with, complete with scripted Cole Haan on the outside! I gave in and tried them on. The straps were toward the front of the shoe, and while the heel was j…

"Jessie and her team at CompassU have been invaluable in our college selection endeavors. Chester received many generous merit scholarships offers, and we are very excited that our son will attend the College of Engineering at Montana State University.

From the beginning, Jessie, using her depth of knowledge, was very helpful setting up our list of potential schools and the goals we needed to ac…
