Educational Advocates Review
Educational Advocates College Consulting gets a 3 for web presence (fourth-page search results) and a 1 for reputation (one review). They score slightly higher for team size, and although their job titles are confusing, we gave them a 3 for having six consultants. A single admissions officer on their team gives them a 1 in the team quality and experience categories, which offsets the default 2 they receive in the results category (no data on student outcomes). 640 Twitter followers and 28 YouTube subscribers gives them. 2.5 in the influencer category, bringing their final score to 1.92.
