The College Blueprint, LLC, Irvine CA

We had the best experience with College Blueprint. Our son worked with Leslie Bettino and Elizabeth Hecker. BOTH went above and beyond to help guide our son through the daunting process of applying to schools. Not only did they help navigate him through the entire process, they were accommodating with his crazy schedule and provided amazing opportunities that my husband and I wouldn’t have even known about. To top it all off, they both constantly checked in on us regularly. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for both Leslie and Elizabeth.

Our family has had two exceptional experiences with The College Blueprint. Leslie Bettino of The College Blueprint went above and beyond our expectations as our son Kyle navigated the College Admissions process. She quickly established rapport with him with her warmth, sound knowledge base and experience. She helped him sort through the many college options and pair them with his interest level and personality to finalize a good selections of schools to which he applied. She helped keep our son on track as he worked toward ACT study and test goals. She was supportive and encouraging as he navigated the challenges of a rigorous academic schedule, sports commitments and the college application process. She made personal sacrifices to keep their meeting dates consistent. Leslie gave Kyle referrals for tutoring and worked closely with Elizabeth Hecker at the College Blueprint on essay deadlines and appropriate essay grammar edits. With wisdom and discernment, Leslie managed Kyle's expectations and helped Kyle make decisions about Early Admission and Regular decision applications as well. We are profoundly grateful to The College Blueprint, Leslie and Elizabeth for their hard work and professionalism. Any family would be extremely fortunate to partner with both Leslie and Elizabeth to help their child survive and thrive the college application process.

My son worked with Leslie Bettino from 8th grade - 12th grade and she was absolutely amazing! She encouraged him, helped him strategize which colleges/programs would be the best fit for him, and was his biggest cheerleader along the way. She encouraged him to participate in targeted summer programs and extracurricular activities throughout his HS experience. All of these things helped him get accepted into his TOP CHOICE COLLEGE! He was accepted to 9 schools and was offered scholarships to 7 of them. I can't say enough great things about Leslie and the entire College Blueprint team.they have been wonderful to work with, and we just signed my daughter up to start working with her as well.

There are not enough stars to indicate how amazing Lauren Brown and the team at College Blueprint are. They are helpful, professional, friendly and truly cared about the success of my daughter. I highly recommend them and their services.

I have had two children go through the College Blueprint process and I could not recommend this business more. My daughter who is currently a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin at Madison was incredibly supported by Deanna at the College Blueprint. My son, will be going to NYU in the fall with the care and support of Kerry Vicencia. Kerry was informative, helpful and most importantly stayed on top of my son to make sure he got his application process done. As I said, I cannot recommend the College Blueprint enough. Great job ladies!

Working with Leslie has been an unforgettable experience. Leslie is an excellent college counselor, and she has always given me the best advice and resources. My favorite thing about Leslie is that she's always rooting for you. It feels like she's as invested in your success as you are. I couldn't recommend this experience more.

Our experience with The College Blueprint was A+. My son is not particularly organized and can lack focus, but Kerry did an excellent job walking him step by step through the process. She would meet with us regularly and at each meeting would set realistic goals for our next meeting; before my son even realized it he was through the application process. Kerry was readily available by phone and email for support during the crunch application period. The fact that The College Blueprint offers everything - test prep, essay coaching, and disability assistance and not just the traditional college prep assistance is a real bonus. I highly recommend The College Blueprint.

I have been working with Leslie for the past three years and she has been amazing every step of the way! She has been so helpful and given so much insight into the whole process. I am so grateful to have had her guidance throughout the past few years. Could not recommend The College Blueprint’s services enough.

I would have been completely lost without Leslie's help. She communicated with me every step of the way and made sure I was submitting applications early and choosing a major I wanted. She made sure I was as prepared as I could be to apply, and that I had the best chances to get into the colleges I wanted.
