Working with Cuttler College Consulting was nothing short of exceptional. Carolyn and Jeff's warm-hearted and supportive approach made all the difference, offering a personalized and caring touch that went beyond just an application. They genuinely cared about my aspirations and worked with me to ensure every part of my application was polished to perfection. Their guidance was instrumental in helping me present the best version of myself and allowed me to get into my dream school. I couldn't thank them more!

We are thrilled to write a glowing review for Carolyn and Jeff who have been an immense help throughout the entire college application process for our son. What sets them apart, aside from their detailed knowledge of the application process and the various colleges and universities my son was interested in, is that they care. They cared about our son’s wants and needs and they cared about how we were feeling as a family throughout this excruciating process. We would not have gotten through this without their guidance and expertise.

From the very beginning, Carolyn took the time to get to know our son and his aspirations, but she also wanted to get to know us as a family. She helped identify his strengths and weaknesses, and then worked with him to create a tailored plan that would showcase his best qualities to colleges. Carolyn and Jeff’s support and encouragement were unwavering throughout the entire process.

They provided us with a wealth of information on everything from essay writing and college visits to college specific curriculum and campus culture.

Overall, we are incredibly grateful for Carolyn and Jeff and the impact they have had on our son’s college journey. They have been a true advocate for him, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring and supportive counselors to guide them through the college application process.

When our eldest child started the college selection and application process, the feeling of being overwhelmed doesn't even begin to cover it. We faced numerous decisions and had no idea where to start. Fortunately, we were introduced to Carolyn and Jeff for assistance. They patiently addressed all our queries, assisted our son in discovering his priorities, and guided us through every step - from campus visits and essay writing to receiving an acceptance letter and a scholarship from his dream school! We enthusiastically endorse their services to anyone undergoing this journey, and we intend to collaborate with them again when our younger child reaches this stage.

Navigating the college process is an incredibly daunting task unless you have Carolyn and Jeffrey Cuttler working with you to make it a stress free and seamless experience. I count my lucky stars daily that I was introduced to Carolyn and Jeffrey when my daughter was beginning the dreaded process. Carolyn and Jeffrey are warm, caring, enthusiastic, beyond knowledgeable and have their fingers on the pulse in keeping up with the times. They know exactly what the schools want, made it a point to really get to know my daughter, and in the end this made for an amazing and successful experience, and the most perfect college match! Carolyn and Jeffrey truly care, are extremely attentive, and leave no stone unturned. Their attention to detail is like no other, I knew we were in the right hands 30 seconds into our first meeting. I cannot possibly say enough amazing things about them and I truly believe I wouldn't have survived this process without Carolyn and Jeffrey’s wisdom and expertise!

I cannot say enough about the overall experience with Carolyn and Jeffrey Cuttler. They were instrumental in helping my daughter select high school classes in junior and senior year that enabled her to be competitive during the college application process. Carolyn & Jeffrey were extremely organized and knowledgeable and worked hard at keeping my daughter on a planned schedule to meet deadlines without being overwhelmed. They were excellent at identifying the colleges that were the best fit and most importantly, they listened carefully to our daughter regarding her choices and gave her the confidence and encouragement she needed to make an excellent list of schools that met her goals. Carolyn & Jeffrey spent a great deal of time reviewing essays and tailoring them to suit each college while accentuating my daughter’s strengths. Their advice was invaluable and we are ever so grateful for their professionalism, support, and guidance.

As it came time for my oldest child to apply for college, I quickly realized we needed help. The process has changed tremendously over the years, and I am so grateful we found Cuttler College Consulting to help us navigate it. From helping my daughter create a list of colleges that were a good fit for her to editing her Common Application essay and finalizing the information she needed to submit her applications, Carolyn and Jeff were a joy to work with. They always made time for us and patiently and thoroughly answered all our questions. I love that they set a schedule to help keep my daughter on track and ensure that she wasn’t stressed by trying to meet deadlines at the last minute.

Cuttler College Consulting’s services were so valuable that we will be working with them again for my younger daughter, who is currently a junior in high school. Carolyn and Jeff have already assisted with high school course selection and starting a list of possible colleges. Having a trusted advisor at this stage has alleviated a lot of potential stress, and we feel thoroughly prepared this time around. I highly recommend Carolyn and Jeff to anyone who is at any stage of the college application process.

Carolyn and Jeff helped me display the best possible version of myself through my college applications. In addition, the two truly treated me like family, making the entire process much calmer and exciting, rather than full of stress and anxiety. In the highly competitive environment of college admissions, it was nice to know that, no matter what, Carolyn and Jeff had my best interest at heart. Carolyn and Jeff’s vast experience and tireless attention to detail helped me bring my applications from “good” to “great” at every turn (from interviews to essays to emails), which can easily be the difference between an acceptance and a rejection come decision day.

Carolyn was a great college coach. I deeply valued the time and knowledge she shared. Carolyn and Jeff helped me realize my potential and pushed me toward making choices I don’t know I would have made without their guidance. I am very happy at UNC Chapel Hill!  

As we all know, the college process is overwhelming for everyone involved and the struggles are very real. All I can say is Carolyn and Jeff alleviated so much of our stress, both with my son, who graduated from the University of South Carolina and, most recently, with my daughter, who attends Pace University. From start to finish, they outline every phase of what needs to accomplished and by what deadline. They are incredibly knowledgable and have worked with a vast array of schools. They know what is required and are completely straight forward from the outset. They keep the process moving and work directly with your child. From helping to guide us through the essay process to the details of how to specifically fill out the applications, their guidance is invaluable. Most importantly, they are approachable and will spend as much time as is necessary to instill the level of confidence needed along the way. My son’s expectations were completely different from what my daughter needed and Carolyn and Jeff were able to successfully help them end up where they were meant to be! And as a parent, I feel relieved and confident knowing that we made the right decision by trusting Carolyn and Jeff!

I cannot thank Carolyn and Jeffery enough for the help they provided me during my college process. I began working with them during my sophomore year, and they helped guide me on a path to be the best student, applicant, and person I could be. They were always available to edit essays, talk on the phone about interview techniques, or give me advice on visiting schools (or lack-there-of because of the pandemic!). They constantly gave experienced and insightful advice. That being said, they were never too invasive and gave me a space to tell my own story. But perhaps most importantly, they were the kindest and most caring people I could have ever hoped to work with. Even in a college admissions year like no other, they really helped me remain calm while still emphasizing the importance of the process. The best decision I made was working with Cuttler College Consulting!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Carolyn and Jeffrey. I utilized their services for both of my sons. My boys are quite different, as were their needs during the college application process, and Carolyn and Jeffrey were adept at tailoring the process to each of them.

Cuttler College Consulting kept them on track, both with their high school class choices as well as once they started their applications. Both she and Jeffrey helped the boys express and give voice to their essays that they would not have been able to do on their own. 

From start to finish, Carolyn and Jeffrey were accessible and a pleasure to work with. 

Working with Carolyn and Jeff has been one of the best decisions I could have made to help my daughter navigate the college application process. We started working with them during my daughter’s junior year. Their assistance started by helping my daughter choose her senior year classes. They spent time discussing my daughter’s interest and career goals and helped suggest schools she should research and apply to. Once a list of schools was created, they helped with every step along the way from making sure applications were completed correctly to proofreading and editing essays. Their patience and supportive nature helped ease what could be a very stressful situation and proved to be a perfect fit for my daughter. As of today, my daughter has been accepted to almost all of the schools she has applied to including her top choice, Indiana University! I am grateful for Carolyn and Jeff’s guidance and support and am looking forward to having them help my younger daughter through her college process as well. 

Carolyn and Jeffrey Cuttler are on point with every aspect of the college admission and application process. We were initially referred to Carolyn and Jeffrey late in the process, to assist with my son’s college essay. Not only did they help shape the essay into something we all loved, but they also assisted in creating an application that best highlighted my son’s strengths and assets. Carolyn and Jeffrey kept my son on a schedule with the necessary tasks so that he was never overwhelmed. Most importantly, Carolyn and Jeffrey are amazing people to work with. They are warm, comforting, and always makes you feel that they are in this with you every step of the way. I am grateful for the work Carolyn and Jeffrey did with my son and thankful to now have them working with my daughter!

Carolyn and Jeffrey Cuttler are simply rockstars. Their charisma, expertise, experience, and knowledge is unmatched. I began the college admissions process feeling overwhelmed, unorganized, uninformed. However, that all changed the day I entered Carolyn and Jeffrey’s office. They invested so much effort and time into me; their care for me and my journey was awe-inspiring. I like to believe they even cried a tear of joy when they heard I was accepted to my first choice school! Furthermore, Carolyn and Jeffrey made sure my parents were informed at every step of the process, which took care of the endless questions that tended to fall on me. In all, Carolyn and Jeffrey were angels sent from heaven to me and my family. The journey was incredible...I could not have done it without them!

I am so thankful for Carolyn and Jeffrey and their extensive knowledge in the college application process. They went above and beyond to help my older son get into his reach dream school and just this year helped my middle son get into his first choice school. The process is laborious and overwhelming and they made it so much more simple, explaining everything in detail along the way. I will certainly be calling on Carolyn and Jeffrey again when my third son is ready to begin the college process!

Carolyn and Jeff were an extremely valuable counselor to our daughters. Wise, creative, and always enthusiastic, Carolyn and Jeff know the ins and outs of all aspects of the college admission process.

We would highly recommend utilizing her services.

The college admissions process is overwhelming and stressful. Carolyn and Jeff worked with my son beginning in tenth grade. They offered guidance on his path through high school, from course selection to internship advice. Their expertise and familiarity with the application process was invaluable. They helped demystify the process, focus his direction, and were supportive, creating a very manageable and ultimately successful experience. We truly appreciate all that Carolyn and Jeff brought to the table!

I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for Carolyn and Jeff and all that they helped me with over these past few months. They motivated me and pushed me to put my best foot forward without overwhelming me and keeping things manageable. Thank you, Carolyn and Jeff, for all of the time, patience and hard work you put into working with me. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you. Thanks to you, I was not only accepted into Towson, but I now have a straight path set for my future. I will never forget how much you helped me and how much easier you made this process for me. You are incredible at what you do.

It all started with a phone call when our son was in his sophomore year of high school. Carolyn and Jeff took the time to meet with us to learn about our son’s interests and career goals. They really took the time to get to know him, as they helped him navigate class selection for his Junior and Senior year. They assisted in helping him focus his time on what he was passionate about and guided all of us through the daunting process of college essays and applications. Their guidance was comforting. When college decisions were released, they shared in the joy he felt when he was accepted into his dream school, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. When our daughter became a sophomore in high school, the decision to again work with Carolyn and Jeff was an easy one. They are a treasure trove of information and such an incredible pleasure to work with. The rapport they built with both of my kids was wonderful and because of that rapport, they felt comfortable sharing their ideas and taking constructive criticism when necessary. Happily, and with Carolyn and Jeff’s expert guidance, our daughter was accepted to her dream school, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, as well! I could not recommend anyone better!

Without Carolyn and Jeff’s guidance and care, I may not be on the path that I am now. Writing on a college level and having an attractive and mature resume were struggles for me in high school. However, with Carolyn’s help and dedication to the personal improvement of each of her students, I was able to go above and beyond in my writing skills and create a resume which has made me a strong candidate for internships. Beyond the ability to create competitive and well-developed students, it’s Carolyn’s compassion for her students and love for what she does that makes working with her experience special.
