Great College Advice

Founded in 2007 by Denver-based educator Dr. Mark Montgomery, Great College Advice offers “comprehensive, personalized college admissions counseling services to students locally, around the country, and around the world.”

About Company

Priding itself in offering “affordable and comprehensive guidance” to those seeking admission to college, Dr. Montgomery and his firm offer a variety of services intended to address some of the opacity in admissions. They differentiate themselves by highlighting the importance of keeping one's options open (and not just focusing on T25 schools) and finding schools that fit a student’s personality, social needs, academic strengths, and intellectual interests. In addition to comprehensive college planning, Great College Advice offers a free consultation, a single-meeting “College Roadmap Session” for those just starting out, test prep, and college essay development services at various price points.

Great College Advice Score

Great College Advice Review

Although Great College Advice receives a 5 in results (thanks to their 3x-10x success rate) and as an influencer (7415 followers on Twitter, 3260 YouTube subscribers), their dearth of verified reviews (3 on Yelp) leaves them with a 1 in reputation. They fare slightly better in team size, which, at half a dozen strong, secures them a 3 in that category. Finally, Mark Montgomery’s experience as an admissions counselor at Fort Lewis gets them a 1 in both team quality and combined experience. Final score for Great College Advice is 2.57.
