What families say
I am excited to tell you of our experience with Mark Blaweiss as our college advisor. I say our because he saw our family, not just our son, as his client. Mark helped us navigate the sometimes complex and nuanced journey that our son entered as both a student and an athlete. Beginning in grade 8, Mark’s advice and guidance was thoughtful and impactful. He served to not only advise but to also motivate our son to meet the high standards needed to attend and compete at an Ivy League school. Mark took a very hands-on approach and helped our son work through the application needs of multiple universities while also helping him advocate for himself to coaches. In the end, our son was accepted at Brown University -- his first choice and best fit school. He met with great success both in the classroom and on the field as a football athlete. Mark is an experienced and compassionate advisor who never hesitated to help us, as parents, to be appropriately part of the process while always keeping the needs of our son first! I strongly encourage any family going through the university admissions and selection process to use Mark. You will never be disappointed!
