"Living in such a competitive age, my wife and I knew that the college application process would be much more challenging than we could even anticipate. With busy schedules of our own and a child who faced a lot of deadlines, practices, and school and work stresses, we knew we needed a mediator to help us tackle this overwhelming and hugely important task at hand. What we found at The Comprehensive College Check was not just competent individuals who could provide the help we needed, but people who really cared about our son, both now and into the future. Each member of this team provided such expertise and care: they gathered a thorough inventory of his history to determine what was best for him, counseled him on all the different schools available and all of their best attributes as well as their drawbacks, helped him refine his resume, worked tirelessly with him on his essays until he stopped writing well and started writing his best, and finally, encouraged him to shoot for the stars, but also balance his expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better service and a better experience than what we found with The Comprehensive College Check."

“You can't find anyone who works harder and cares more about his students and clients. We are so pleased to have worked with Joseph. My kids all received generous financial aid and scholarships to private Catholic Jesuit universities due to his hard work and connections!”

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you and the Westerville Central staff do on a daily basis. You are making the kind of positive impact on lives that I wish I saw everywhere in the world, and I am grateful for the impact you have made on mine. I know you do not get the credit and thanks you deserve for the amazing work you do to better the lives of students day in and day out, and my position here has made that clear to me. I cannot thank you, the staff of Westerville Central, or the staff of Westerville City Schools enough for the amazing work you do.”

Very Respectfully, N.A. Forrest, MIDN USN




We are continually grateful that you are driving this process so that we can provide support without constantly nagging about tasks and deadlines. It has made a stressful and overwhelming process much more palatable for all of us. We have, especially, appreciated the help with her essays, as suggestions from outside experts are far more readily accepted than ours. Additionally, please know your expertise has been heard and taken to heart.

We are so pleased with this process and the job you are doing."

Hey Mr. Kloepfer!

I have no idea if you remember me at all. I was one of your guidance counselor students ( not sure how to describe my role). I wanted to send an email of thanks. Without your help, I would not be where I am today. With your constant help in guidance through scholarships, college applications, my FAFSA, and helping me call Miami to answer certain questions pertaining to my education, I was able to go to college and chase my dream. I am currently a sophomore at Miami University of Ohio, majoring in Family Science and minoring in Gerontology. Surprisingly, because in high school I had a 3.2 GPA, I sit at a 3.9 GPA here. I am currently beginning to study for my LSAT ( I got a 148 on my first practice test- which gets me into law school now) so I can take the LSAT my junior year and attend law school after my senior year. I have an internship with Steve Dettelbach for the Ohio Attorney general campaign and am loving it. As a sophomore, I am enrolled in 400- 500 level classes ( senior and graduate student classes) and I have better grades than they do in the class. I have come so far in my college career and I am so thankful to you and your hard work to get me here. I would not have been where I am today without your help.

Thank you for all of your work and dedication to your students,
Kriston Kapan
