College Ready Review
College Ready outshines others in the results category (5x success rate) with a solid 5. They also earn a 4 in team size (8 consultants). Despite their longevity, however, we were unable to locate any independent, third-party reviews, which left them with a 1 in the reputation category. A weak search result (ninth page) earned them a 2 in web presence, while a lack of college admissions officers on their team gave them a score of 0 in both team quality and years of experience. Despite having videos hosted on their page, they don’t seem to have a YouTube channel, though their 139 followers on Twitter give them a 1.5 influencer score. Total here: 1.92.
