What Others Are Saying About Joe Eberle
and
The College Store
“First, let me simply say thank you to Joe. I am the type of person who after a long day at work absolutely loathes coming home in the evenings or weekends and spending anytime on the computer conducting business.
“That is where Joe came into play. He was exceedingly instrumental in conducting research on various colleges and making the comparisons between those colleges and universities. He also sent us many scholarship opportunities, provided sample SAT and ACT exam questions for all of her testing and provided guidance with her college entrance essays, and scholarship letters.
“Joe was simply amazing and I truly appreciate all of his efforts and the work he has done, which resulted in my daughter being accepted in her dream college for the upcoming fall semester.
“I hold Joe in the highest regards and he comes highly recommended.”
Sincerely,
--June A. Davenport

“Joe, I perceive you as a man of the utmost integrity who is totally sincere in his vocation to help young adults achieve success in life. I know that you make sacrifices on an on-going basis in order to fulfill this goal. Being that we've been working together now for almost 3 years straight as my two boys have traveled the journey towards a college degree, I say with the utmost respect and goodwill that in the beginning I found your array of services to be dizzying. But over time I have come to understand that you will leave no stone unturned in the quest to fulfill the needs of your clients. When you ask for input as to how you could improve your service, I would simply say that no improvements are needed. What you do is a pure output of grand motivations and there is nothing more valuable that you could offer than that.
“I regret that my boys did not use you more, but that is a reflection on them, not on you. And, for us, I think everything turned out as it should have, so I really can have no complaints. The simplest advice that I could give to your clients is to ask for help at every opportunity. I would doubt that there would be any request for which you can't offer assistance.”

Thanks again!”

“Dear Joe: I just wanted to take a moment and reflect on all the things you have done for our family. First and foremost, you helped Samantha get into Duke University!!! You knew how important it was to her to get into one of the top schools in the country and she did. But not only did she get into the school of her choice, but also received a scholarship that totaled more than 75% of her tuition.
“When you came to see us the first time, Samantha had about a dozen majors in mind and wanted to apply to as many schools as possible. Your calm work with my daughter allowed her to focus and start narrowing down the exorbitant number of choices to be made during this process. You also helped me to stay on track with the overwhelming number of forms and deadlines. You kept me sane and for that I, and my family, will be eternally grateful.
“Through all the work and preparation that goes into this exciting but confusing process, you remained a guiding light and, in the process, became a friend. I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for our family and I will be forever grateful for your help.”
Sincerely,
--Judy L. Tropper

“When our son began his college search during his junior year we believed the only College options would be a in state school due to the cost of out of state tuition. As we became educated through the college search process, and by our college coach, as to the different options for both in state and out of state colleges our eyes where opened to the vast amount of choices we had once thought never existed. Through our search for colleges it became apparent that a private University was the right type of school for Tyler. With Tyler's extra curricular activities, grades, ACT score and leadership involvement he was offered Merit Scholarships to help bring down the cost of a Private University. By taking the time to become education on the whole college process has truly made Tyler's college search enjoyable and given him options we never thought available.
"We strongly recommend hiring Joe Eberle as your son or daughters college coach. Joe has helped us over the past 1 1/2 years understand and navigate our way through the college application process. With his help and direction our son has received several scholarship offers from four different Universities to help pay for school. Thank you Joe!!”

“I have a daughter who is a senior in high schooljust finishing up her college search. Over the last year or so, we retained the services of a college search consultant to help us shape and narrow our daughter’s quest as well as organize her preparatory activities (testing, comparative college research, applications, visits) and now in the last phase, negotiations with specific colleges to get the best financial aid deal.
We’ve been completely pleased with this consultant’s level of service”

“Joe, I can say that your services had benefitted us greatly…all of the email reminders about deadlines for ACT testings/ Preparatory testing and promptings about moving ahead with certain things had certainly helped us. We would have way behind the eight ball if you hadn't done that. The interesting articles and scholarship application alerts/reminders and continued communication that you provide through emails are very helpful.
“I also appreciate the notices about community service events that our children can participate in, since often times it is hard for some people to connect with those types of opportunities. The learning tools for reading and tutor information that you provide have been very helpful for my sons.
“I know that we felt we were way ahead of many of my sons peers are far as making progress in visiting colleges, and making a selection, as well as getting the FAFSA completed that made many parents jealous. I know that having your support and encouragement helped us to feel more confident in the process that can certainly be daunting for many.
“We look forward to having your assistance with our other son in the next two years, and will definitely encourage our college bound son to keep in touch with you with questions and concerns during his next four years.”

“Joe, Our family has only good things to say about you and hope to continue working with you for Amanda's four years in college. The information you provided was very helpful, we especially appreciated your advice in navigating through the various steps from choosing a college to completing the paper work necessary to being accepted.
“Thank you again for everything you have done for our family so far.”

“Joe, Now that Tiago has graduated from high school and he is set to attend American University, we would like to thank you for your services.
“With Tiago being our oldest child, this college searching experience was a little scary for us. Meeting with you last year was vital in helping us prepare for the college application process. We all agree that you demonstrate a great deal of knowledge and dedication to your clients. We truly believe that you take the time to match the student with a school that fits his personality and interests. Tiago feels that you have been quick in responding to any of our questions or concerns and he thinks that you take a special interest in helping each student individually.
“We appreciate your sharing of the many resources available to college students such as scholarships, loan information and materials for college testing and preparation. Without your help, Tiago would not have learned of the many colleges that were good fits for him. We are very impressed with what American University has to offer him. He will not only get a great education, but will also have incredible internship opportunities in the D.C. area.
“If there is anything we would have done differently, it would be to have met with you sooner. Tiago would have benefited even more from your services if he had met with you early in his junior year instead of right before his senior year. He might have become a more accomplished student and certainly better prepared for the college application process. Thank you very much for all your help. We wish you a wonderful summer and will definately be in touch.”
Sincerely,
--Cynthia and Jack Lima

“Julia will be attending a school that is as unique and challenging as she is. I had heard that there was a lot of liberal arts colleges with money to give but didn't know where they were. Joe you found one but not only one that is financially affordable but more importantly one that Julia is comfortable with relative to bonding with teachers, a broad based ciriculum, an opportunity to travel abroad, a theatre extraciricular activity and even a sports program. As only time will tell and as you'll be there along the way thoughout this journey to see first -hand the outcome, thanks for the dedicated effort.
“The nine points out of ten is for a job well done since so much depends on planning and preparation up until this point in time. The last point is spread across the next 'four' years. However, based on all the competent and dedicated effort provided by you so far for all the demands we made, that last point may be just as tough as the first nine. I'd say, "who knows?" but I'm sure you would answer, "you do" or "you'll find out" for us. Thanks again.”
Sincerely and with much appreciation,
-Paul Dziennik
