Testimonials
These are reflections from parents and students who have experienced the college selection and admissions journey with Kurt and College Copilots.
Carrie (Mother) FL
“There were an overwhelming number of choices and Kurt narrowed down the options to a manageable focused group. Our son was well advised based on his major, as well as his athletic interests, and career goals. He ended up where he belonged, and he loves it."
Brady (Student-Athlete)
"I wanted to go to the best school I could and to continue to participate in sports. I also wanted a larger university experience. Kurt found a school that checked all the boxes. It is a great place and a good fit."
Brendan (Father) MA
“Our son has played hockey for 15 years and we got on the doorstep of applying to colleges and 'what now?' Kurt answered the 'what now?' and walked us through the colleges that made sense for us. We wanted to be proactive, and Kurt gave us good options."
Brendan Jr. (Student-Athlete)
"I am happy. I had some options from the recruiting process. I chose a university that provided my unique major (marine biology) and enabled me to play hockey. The structure Kurt provided helped keep me on track with my application essays. I am playing at a great university with great guys."
Justin (Father) WI
“Kurt spent time with our family to get to know all our wishes. Our daughter is at an amazing place. Our other daughter is now working with Kurt. They are both hockey players but have different schools and career interests.”
Ella (Student-Athlete)
“I am at my dream school. Kurt and I discussed the essays and how they lined up my major and career goals. The essays are so important. I am playing hockey while being challenged in the classroom. It is perfect balance.
Go Irish!"
Mark (Father) ID
"Kurt's knowledge of colleges and universities is extensive. He took the time to get to know our son personally and that helped mightily as he guided us through the entire process successfully."
Clayton (Student-Athlete)
"By getting to know me and listening, Kurt was able to paint a picture of the best fit. He made me look at parts of the process that I wouldn’t have done without his help. I was able to go through the process with confidence and land at a Big 10 school where I am happy and still play hockey."
Paul (Father) NY/DE
“This service is really about the long game. Kurt understands the value of the schools and what they offer. He helped my daughter with her selection for her four-year degree, and we are now selecting a master's program.”
For families beginning the college application journey, I’d be honored to guide you through the process.
With ongoing changes in roster dynamics and the transfer portal, college placements have become more competitive and unpredictable. Taking a proactive, strategic approach early can significantly increase your chances of success, strengthen your recruiting opportunities, and ensure you keep multiple pathways available providing you with options.
Best regards,
