“After my house burned down, Discover Pathwaze offered me application support. They kept me on track with deadlines and provided “guidance as I navigated writing essays. Pathwaze alleviated anxiety I had about the process and their support motivated me to get my applications in. Without them, I would have been much more disorganized and stressed. The team is so experienced and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them to students who feel overwhelmed by the college applications process or don't know much about it.”

“Discover Pathwaze gave me a really great framework for figuring out what I wanted to do with my future. I came into the process really sure of what I wanted to do and by the end of it had completely switched gears. Being able to talk through my ideas and being able to use the data collected from the aptitude tests to reassure that I was on the right track was really gratifying. Discover Pathwaze was helpful along every step of the way and supported every decision about my future that I wanted to make. By the time it came to applying for schools, I knew how to do any additional research I needed for universities and scholarships. I also had multiple points which I could confidently talk about in my essays.”

“Discover Pathwaze served me in their career assessment as well as in creating my college list. They were so personable and insightful in their guidance and advice, leaving me feeling as if I was their only client. They worked tirelessly to account for my desires as well as critically listening to my opinions. The provided services enabled me to feel comfortable in my choice of the University of Miami and their dedication to my smooth transition was a foundation to my experience. I cannot say enough how much I recommend these services, even if you might already know where you're going. Discover Pathwaze also set up a network of students that I was able to reach out to and answered every single one of my questions with perfect clarity.”

"I started working with Discover Pathwaze in my junior year, where they helped me in figuring out what I wanted to study and where I wanted to study it. Using the career assessment, Discover Pathwaze helped me consolidate all my academic and personal interests, such as chemistry and sports, into a potential career paths. Discover Pathwaze helped me realize I wanted to study the sciences, specifically biochemistry, and do that on a pre-medical track. Their college list, which aimed to help me find the right school, led me to a university where I could play tennis and receive solid financial aid. Discover Pathwaze significantly impacted my path to college, and I am incredibly excited for what the future holds."

“Discover Pathwaze helped me to explore career options, search for universities to apply to, and helped me through the whole application process. Having an expert opinion helped to keep both me and my parents at ease during college applications, and their communication with them as well as me throughout the process was very important to all of us. I would absolutely recommend Discover Pathwaze. No matter what degree of help a student might need, they'd be able to provide it. Their ability to help me stay organized allowed me to know what was required of me, and their help in our meetings made everything much easier. I can't even imagine what the college application process would've looked like without them.”

"I worked and Discover Pathwaze from the end of my junior year through most of senior year. They helped me break down the application process into manageable steps that made my goals much more attainable. They took the time to get to know me outside of my academics and helped me create applications that exemplified all of my best qualities. What I appreciated most about Discover Pathwaze was that they believed in me throughout the whole process, supporting my dream school applications but also providing practical advice. I highly value my experience with Discover Pathwaze and couldn’t imagine having done the application process any other way."

What Parents Are Saying

Discover Pathwaze was fantastic. We started with Discover Pathwaze during the junior year of our daughter's high school progression. The goals that were set both financially and academically through the interview process were very helpful for all of us. The platform as part of the package was used to discover schools, get information on enrollment sizes, majors offered, and typical scholarships given for grades our daughter had maintained and was extremely helpful. It was nice as parents to have our daughter working directly with the wonderful folks at Discover Pathwaze to narrow down choices and the help and assistance in putting together the applications and essays. The choice was made and fast forward to the present - we moved her in to a university out of state during this last week. We are sad to not have her around the house anymore, but are very excited for the next stage of her journey. Great university fit and unlikely this choice would have happened without Discover Pathwaze. 5 stars for sure. If you are on the fence, don't be. Just do it. Very worth it in our opinion.

Do not look any further. This is the team for you. The team at Pathwaze is beyond amazing. Pathwaze helped my son with the college admission process. They are so professional and organized and their wealth of knowledge with different school requirements/timelines is quite impressive. Their program kept my son on track and he met the early admissions timelines by Thanksgiving break. My son enjoyed working with them and they went out of their way to get to know him personally. Their ability and skills in coaching him throughout the essay requirements were seamless and my son, never once, seemed stressed or overwhelmed. He did get into all the schools that he applied to and I believe a big part of that was due to the guidance and expertise we received through the Pathwaze program. The Pathwaze team are an amazing group of people and I will continue to use their services for my younger son. You will not be disappointed!

They were available to my kids and my husband and I at every step of the college application process. Their attention to detail and very relatable approach with my kids allowed us to step back from the day to day process making it a much more enjoyable process. I highly recommend!

Invaluable experience which made the college application process so much easier to navigate. They were spot-on in finding options that fit within our budget. Their approach helped my son have all his applications completed months before many of his peers. We are so grateful!

"I'm so glad we chose to work with Discover Pathwaze! They gave us a ton of very helpful information when facing the daunting process of sending our first kid to college. With their tools, knowledge, and thoughtful guidance, we were able to find a school that was a good fit for his credentials, goals, personality, and budget. She made the whole experience fun & was great at putting my introverted kid at ease. Very pleased!"

Merrie was amazing during the whole college process and helped me narrow down colleges and figure out what careers might be a good fit for me. Considering I had no idea where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do, Merrie was so so helpful. Thank you!!

We had an amazing experience with Merrie at Discover Pathwaze. She guided our daughter during the whole college application process with incredible compassion and she was on top of every single issue involved in the process.

My family has moved to the US a few years back after several international moves. This meant that the college process was rather new to us and the need to identify a potential career path so early was confusing. We were fortunate to have our eldest was rather clear on the fact that she was very STEM oriented and that she received ample aid from her (private) school, however with my son the process was confusing because he was not clear on what he wanted to study/work AND because he was keen on playing college sports.We picked two services from the modular package that is available at Discover Pathwaze, Merrie helped us navigate this challenge by thoroughly exploring his aptitudes and possible career options including interviews with working professionals in the few final fields he selected. She them helped us compile a well thought lists of colleges based on both my son criteria for a college and a list within this list based on his prospects to successfully play Tennis in these colleges.The results were a highly effective college list that helped us have a concise college visits/exploration and ultimately pick a great college were my son can start is Pre-Med journey while playing Tennis at a high level in a small and intimate college (that also awarded him a rather significant scholarship).We can't thank Merrie and the team enough. Highly recommended.

From the first meeting my son and I had with Merrie, we were both comfortable and ready to dive into this journey. My son worked independently with Merrie and her team as they guided him on completing the Common Application in a timely manner, and provided important feedback as he wrote his essays. He completed all of his applications by the November 1 Early Application deadline and was successful in getting accepted to his top choices. I highly recommend the Discover Pathwaze team! They were friendly, caring, energetic, encouraging, and positive throughout the process and ultimately lead my son to where he was meant to be.
