What Our Students Are Saying
-
I loved working with CollegeBound
The atmosphere at CollegeBound is so comfortable and supportive that seeking the help of their instructors never felt intimidating. I was encouraged by all the instructors and found them extremely helpful when quickly grading my score reports, turning them over the next day, and helping me schedule tutoring or more practice tests.
-
CollegeBound is one of the most engaging tutoring experiences I have ever had
Everyone is super friendly, and the tutors are dedicated to helping you receive the best score possible. I enjoyed my tutor sessions at CollegeBound because not only am I preparing myself for exams, but I am also having fun, and I think that’s important.
-
How encouraging and stress-free CollegeBound coaches tried to make me feel
After college guidance for over two years and interning for six months over a summer, I highly recommend CollegeBound's services. As a student and intern, CollegeBound was reasonable and flexible with my crazy student schedule and was always a quick and effective communicator. I highly recommend every high school student use the resources provided at CollegeBound by Bumo.
-
I have had nothing but great experiences with CollegeBound
I feel like the coaches and tutors cater to what is best for me as an individual student rather than adopting one prep method for all students. They understand the wide spectrum of the way students learn and mold an individual study plan after getting to know the student.
-
CollegeBound pushed me to be the best version of myself!
I was so pleasantly surprised when I realized the college counseling experience at CollegeBound is nothing like what I expected. The coaches were always there to support me whether it was calling me late at night when I was overwhelmed by the stress of essays to calm me down or calling me with excitement to celebrate when she found out I got into my dream school.
-
I really couldn’t have done it without the college coaches at CollegeBound!
The CollegeBound college coaches pushed and motivated me to keep writing. To anyone considering CollegeBound, I highly suggest starting as early as possible! I was admitted to Boston College, my dream school, and I’m so grateful to have been able to be coached through Bumo. Deciding to go to CollegeBound for college coaching is one of the best investments I have ever made. Thank you so much!
-
CollegeBound was nothing like what I expected
CollegeBound helped me in both these processes and kept everything very organized. I really admired this because during application time, everything was very hectic, and it was nice to have all my essays and applications structured. Not only did they give me valuable feedback on my essays, but they also followed up on this feedback and gave me ideas on how I can change things in my essays to make them better. Without CollegeBound, the college application process, both for college and graduate school, would have been very difficult and stressful.
-
CollegeBound helped me to become a more confident version of myself
With the help of the team at CollegeBound, I was able to send in applications and essays that I was proud of and felt highlighted the best parts of me as a student, friend, and overall person. With CollegeBound, I was given the peace of mind while submitting my many applications that I never thought I would get done on time or ever feel good about what I was submitting, and I was able to do all of that and more. CollegeBound helped me manage my time effectively and get into schools I was excited about and ultimately helped me on the path of finding where I will be for the next four years and I could not be more excited!
-
CollegeBound understood my goals and pushed me to aim high!
I was glad to have the coaches who guided and advised me on my college applications. CollegeBound was very insightful about the process and helped me meet deadlines early on. They gave me great advice and guidance on ensuring that all my accomplishments were well highlighted in my application. The best part was that they listened to my essay ideas and gave me great advice on how to express my ideas creatively in my essays.
