Our family has worked with both Hannah (initially) and Sara (throughout) over the past year and a half as our daughter was seeking her path to college. While there is a premium for this service we feel it is worth every penny spent b/c in the big scheme of the price of college and feeling like your child is making the right choice of school for the right reasons, the fee is a drop in the bucket. I also consider this a 'relationship-saver' with your child as it takes the pressure off the parent/child relationship and removes the negative emotions surrounding the stressful college application process. We found it has allowed us to enjoy what precious time we had left with our daughter before she is off to college. CCC prioritizes putting the responsibility of scheduling meetings and completing tasks directly on the student thus helping to implement strong time management skills while keeping the parents very much informed but out of the minutiae of the process, which I very much appreciated.

She is our oldest child and we felt in the dark about the college application process, and working with CCC allowed us to feel 100% confident as they guided our family every step of the way. Even though we are now more familiar with the process and the effort the college application process takes, we decided we wanted to engage in CCC's services again for our son who is about to start his Junior in high school. We value our relationship with him and want to keep Junior and Senior year as positive as possible and feel this is the best and only way to accomplish that :) CCC - you are...

Read moreWe simply cannot say enough good things about Hannah and Creative College Connections. Going through the college admissions process for the first time, and realizing the size of the investment and importance of choosing the right school, it became clear we needed help. Hannah took the time to really get to know our son over the course of many discussions and then helped him develop a list of schools that would uniquely fit his strengths and interests. She worked with him step by step through the entire application process and he is now in the enviable position of choosing between a number of great schools.
