Check out what our parents and students have had to say about Today’s College Solutions

At Today’s College Solutions, we take pride in helping families successfully navigate the college admissions process. It’s incredibly rewarding when our clients express their gratitude for our support.

Darryl Zilberstein is a rare commodity in today's greedy world. He allows a free consultation in which he imparted TONS of knowledge and ideas for our daughter AND ourselves. He wasn't just there to make a buck, and didn't pressure us into handing over a ton of money. He let us know we could call him for advice, even if we didn't sign up with him as he saw that perhaps what we needed, we could handle on our own (since we weren't prepared to dive in right away). But our friend's son had used his services last year, so we know what a great and personal help he can be for any family trying to navigate college admissions and financial aid. We had been to two other similar companies for consultations, but they were too busy trying to get money out of us to feel right, and did not make us feel comfortable with the process. Darryl feels like he truly cares and we can tell from 1 meeting that he knows this business inside and out. Refreshing! Sue & John H.

For all you junior and sophomore parents out there with kids wanting to go to college, I highly recommend working with a college counselor. To be honest, we were really on the fence about hiring one. We met with Darryl from TODAY'S COLLEGES SOLUTIONS with Matt, myself and Kaitlin the first time. He spent almost 2 hours with us (free consult) and we were blown away by his knowledge. If your child is seriously thinking about college, I firmly believe that the money you spend with him will be recovered (plus $1,000's more) by using him and his knowledge to get your child on the best path for their future! It's not to early (sophomore parents) to meet with him!!! You won't regret it!

I cannot say enough great things about Allison and her team! The experience end to end was top notch. They totally invest in the student in every way to ensure a perfect match for many school options and an outcome that leads to success. We walked in for the first time lost, confused and totally overwhelmed with all that needed to be done getting my Senior started and through major decisions with the college application process but we left with two handfuls of great school choices (acceptances) that my Senior was over the moon about. She just sent in her letter of intent to enroll in Boise State University which wasn't even on our radar as an option. Allison's approach led her to the perfect University and my daughter is more excited than ever about her future. Thank you Allison! You are an earth angel!

This the second college counselor that we worked with... and this one, Debbie and Darryl are by the far the BEST! What was so helpful was that Darryl actually gave us some really great school options that we would never have thought of for our son. He told us what schools he could get scholarships from and he was 100% correct. Debbie was amazing in helping with the applications, essays and follow up. We are so happy with them that we have our daughter starting to work with them next!

Not a cookie cutter establishment! I went in with my daughter and was amazed at the level Of professionalism and true interest in my child's future. I am so grateful I found a partner in the process! My daughter walked out of our appointment feeling relieved, supported and resolute to stay focused and on track. Couldn't ask for more !

Darryl and Debbie are solid college and financial counselors. They take parents and students through every step of the college admission process, starting with the search, college visits, filling out applications (they will sit with your student and help complete them!), completing FAFSA, and more. Our daughter is now in her second semester at USC. I emailed Debbie the other day to ask a financial aid question, and she emailed me right back! I highly recommend Today's College Solutions. They make navigating through the college admission maze so much easier!
