College Connectors

I cannot recommend Julie Ekkers of College Connectors enough. It is the best college-related money I have spent so far. Julie helped my daughter (and my wife and me) with the entire process, from early on through standardized testing, applications, and even admissions decisions. Her calm, cool demeanor, the realistic but exciting list of schools she helped my daughter develop, her help with applications and essays,...everything was flawless from my perspective. I think everyone should hire Julie for college admissions counseling.

This was a wonderful investment for our family - and Julie was terrific to work with! It's easy to be overwhelmed by all the noise and stress that surrounds the college process, but Julie kept us calm and focused on what mattered the most - which was helping our daughter find the right school for her! The structure Julie provided and the coaching throughout was second-to-none - we would highly recommend her!

Julie was an amazing guide for our two boys in their college search. Definitely worth the money!

I had Julie as my counselor and she struck a perfect balance between doable deadlines and making sure nothing was ever down to the last minute with applications. Her tips for essays were also always helpful and succinct. Also, she strives to give the student a balanced and robust college list. Thank you Julie!

Bringing Julie Ekkers on our college search & application journey with us was the best gift to ourselves and our high school senior. Julie is competent, knowledgeable, flexible and kind, and above all she was able to navigate our senior through the whole process on time and with success! I highly recommend Julie to anyone that is looking to make the college search and application process painless and successful. Thank you Julie!

I would highly recommend Julie Ekkers. She helped my son create a customized college search that was very organized and thoughtful and took into account his strengths and future interests. Julie was very positive and encouraging along the way and kept my son on track with application deadlines and essays. She is very knowledgable and communicates extremely well with students and parents throughout the entire process. Thank you, Julie!

Julie Ekkers is fabulous! She began working with our son after his freshman year and served as an expert guide throughout the college admissions process, helping us understand the nuances every step of the way. Julie provided detailed resources, clear guidance, and thoughtful support from start to finish. What I especially appreciated was her approach to empowering teens to take ownership of their journey. She created a framework with clear timelines, benchmarks, and guidance every step of the way. We were there to cheer him on and support him, and it was wonderful to see how confidently he managed the process with Julie’s help. He is now headed to a wonderful university that is an fantastic fit for him this fall. We were so pleased with Julie’s professional services that we have already hired her to work with our younger son. Thank you, Julie!
