Student Success Stories and Reviews
College admissions success stories are rarely about one perfect outcome. More often, they are about a student who finds direction, stays on track, and ends up with choices that make sense.
Rose College Strategies measures college counseling results in a few practical ways: a right-fit college list, strong writing and applications, clean deadline management, and a process that reduces stress for parents and students. For student-athletes, it also includes a recruiting plan that aligns with admissions requirements and eligibility rules.
Working with this team completely changed my college application experience.
I received personalized guidance at every step, especially with my essays, which became much stronger. The structured timeline kept me organized, and I felt confident throughout. In the end, I was accepted into my dream university, something I once thought was out of reach.

We had an excellent experience with Rose College Strategies. Bonnie was supportive, organized, and always available throughout the college application process. Highly recommend.
We had an outstanding experience working with Bonnie at Rose College Strategies. Bonnie guided my daughter through the entire college application process and played a key role in her successfully gaining admission to many excellent schools. She was consistently kind, patient, and highly efficient, making what can be an overwhelming process feel structured and manageable. Bonnie was always readily available to answer questions, provide thoughtful feedback, and offer reassurance when needed. Her expertise, dedication, and genuine care for her students truly set her apart. We are incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend Rose College Strategies to any family navigating the college admissions journey. She can also help with sports recruiting!
We decided to work with a college counselor during my daughter’s Junior (high school) year and we are so glad we chose to work with Rose College Strategies. If I had known about Bonnie earlier, we would have started sooner! Bonnie shared so many resources and helped my daughter stay organized and on schedule throughout the entire process. She is a great communicator and connected well with my daughter, and she was able to help us identify the “best fit” schools. Working with Bonnie gave us clarity and ease as we moved through the process. 100% recommend.
I worked with her over the past year and she has helped me so much. She has so much knowledge on everything, always available 24/7, pays attention and cares for clients-goes out of her way, has really brilliant and supportive ideas, as well as helped my supplemental/reflective writing skills develop tenfold. 10/10 best counselor
I loved working with Bonnie, she’s clear and specific in her feedback and is able to balance this beautifully with her relatable sense of humor. She was with me through nearly the whole college search and application process, knowing when we needed to go in-depth working on an essay to making small tweaks. She also helped me in getting more involved in the process, offering lots of opportunities to research and connect with schools (e.g. via live webinars) that I highly doubt I would have found otherwise. I started work with her near the end of my junior year (just after I’d finished compiling my initial list) and even introduced me to the school I ended up applying Early Decision to…I’ve been admitted and can’t wait to start school there come fall!!
I had a wonderful experience with Bonnie. She constantly checked in, gave great feedback, and was extremely helpful and resourceful. She’s very knowledgeable about the college process. I could not recommend her enough!
Bonnie is the BEST!!! She helped guide me through all of my college decisions from start to finish. Can’t thank her enough!!!
Bonnie worked as my college advisor, and I highly recommend her for any student who needs the best! I came to her a month before applications were due, and she was able to guide me through the process, despite the very late start. She taught me so much about college and researched thoroughly to give me the best chances of getting into my dream schools! Highly recommend to students of all ages needing an expert!! Thank you Bonnie!
I really liked Bonnie she answered all the questions I had and she also helped mw a lot with my college applications!
Bonnie was a wonderful support to our daughter while applying for colleges. She is knowledgable, helpful and responsive. It is a big undertaking and we highly recommend her.
