We were so fortunate to have found Dale with Access College America. He transformed chaos into order for our son, and us, by making the college application process a positive and empowering experience. Along with a very high college acceptance rate, Dale was hands on with our son by taking the reigns from us and guiding him step by step from beginning to end. We highly recommend Dales services. His knowledge of how the system works is second to none and we are extremely grateful.
I’m writing this review for Access College America because they really are the best agency in the region. They offer hands-on labs, parent forums, essay prep and excellent one-on-one strategy sessions. Career exploration is also provided too!! The YouScience tool was very helpful. If you want the best then go with the best!!!! Thank you!
Access College America is top notch! Dale and his team relate so well with the high school students. They are full of all of the latest college admissions information and are super helpful as they walk them through the process. Highly recommend!
What a great experience with College Access America. We shop around and met with other companies, but we made the right choice. Other companies looked at you as a number and focused on Ivy League Schools and some did not offer all the different areas of help we needed as a first time college family. Dale and the team was great to work with and was very thorough with our son as the process was moving along. My son got into all of his top five choices.
We signed our son up because we are not from the US and had no idea how it all worked or where to start! We were so pleased with the service we received that we signed up our daughter too. Dale is very well connected, knows his stuff and was always available when we needed him. The offerings expanded during our 3 years with Dale and each additional service seems very useful. The biggest benefit for us was having someone project manage the process - remind us of deadlines, update us on trends and changes (which was very important during COVID), encouraged involvement in important activities and internships. That encouragement led to two professional, paid internships - one of them turned into a 2 year role and will look wonderful on his resume! Thank you Dale!
We had an extremely positive experience with Access College America. Dale is so generous and knowledgeable--a good person who works very efficiently and helped us so much. I HIGHLY recommend them!
My name is Angel. I am one of Mr. Prices former students. In my time working with him, the college application process was a challenging yet rewarding experience. Enduring a global pandemic while taking International Bacculorette classes and trying to pick up the pieces of my senior year was hard, but Dale helped me with the process.Without his words, guidance, and determination to help me find the perfect school for me, I may not have received full-rides, presidential scholarships, and seven great school offers.I am proud to announce that I will be on a full-ride scholarship to The University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Thank you, Dale and Access College America, for inspiring me to work hard and leading me down a wonderful path towards my college and future career.
I worked with Dale Price on the Board of Directors for Texas Exes, Los Angeles Chapter. He served as the Scholarship Chair and later was elected to President of our Chapter. Hook em horns! I also worked with him in college admissions for a number of years too, he was the senior admissions officer on our team. Access College America will get great results for anyone that hires them! If you want the best, youve found it!
ACAs Scholar Program is the best of the best! They offer hands-on labs, parent forums and a student success binder in addition to 1:1 college consulting. They are thorough and focused on helping families get results! I highly recommend this agency!
I’m very thankful to have Dale navigate me through the college application process. Although it’s supposed to be a complicated process, he not only motivated me to stay on track but also helped make the experience much more manageable. I’m not too sure what I would’ve done without the guidance he gave me. Thanks to him Im going to attend UT Austin next semester. Thank you so much!
Like a parents we found the best company, Dale and his team are very professionals and my kids feel so confident, so excited about they’re next step in they’re lifes, we are so thankful for every minute and dedication you put on our kids .This year our daughter will attend to St Edwards University and our son Sebastian is working on his next chapter .Thanks againWith loveThe Flores family.
Dale helped us tremendously as we moved in midst of pandemic towards later part of my daughter’s junior year and we were no way in the mindset to know where to begin with college and how to have everything ready, Dale was great, he snapped us into high gear to got us all caught up and on track, my daughter did the work and worked really hard on essays, Dale kept checking reviewing what was done and when, she got accepted to 8 of the 10 schools and got into honors programs at 2 top notch schools, he also helped us with suggestions to getting additional scholarships. It took some of the stress off of us parents having him partner with my daughter to get it all done. Very happy with the end result! Thanks Dale!
This year of remote learning has been challenging for all of. One thing we have done at our high school to build community is to offer what we call LASA Master Classes. Dale volunteered to teach 3 classes for us: Applying to the University of Texas at Austin, Tips for Applying to the Ivies, and co-taught UTs Plan II Honors Program. All were well attended and Dale was super thorough and wonderful to work with. We look forward to working with him in the future. Thanks so much, Dale!
A lot of good information in a short period of time. Provided useful resources and gave specific information for each of our circumstances.
I have been working with Dale since my late junior year in high school and I cannot recommend him enough! The college application process is a lot more complicated than it appears and not only did Dale help me navigate that, but also helped me expand my resume and read over my many many essays. Thanks to him I will be attending UT Austin next year to study honors biomedical engineering with a full ride!
Dale worked with my daughter and really lit a fire in her to improve her essays for her college applications. He was considerate, realistic and provided great guidance for the college application process. Would work with him again and urge others to consult with Access College America to improve their positions in this difficult process.
There are not enough words of gratitude for Dale and Access College America. At a very important and critical time in my sons life, he stepped in and helped make sense of the college application process. I truly dont know how we could have ever done this without him! Dale and his team provided individualized support and focused on my sons needs and wants for college. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
With our recent move to Texas, we are thankful that we met Dale last spring to assist us with the college admission process.You came alongside with your experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm and helped both of our high schoolers formulate a plan and held them accountable to work their plan in order to achieve their goals and dreams. You not only helped them in regards to the selection, application and admittance into colleges but you also cared about them from a holistic view and helped them individually recognize and prioritize what is most important to them and what their God-given gifts, talents, and abilities are through assessments and heart to heart conversations. This helped in selecting majors and potential careers for their future.You care deeply for your students and truly desire the best for them and it comes through in all the work that you do. You are a trusted advisor and provided an extension to our family as a resource in a very critical time. Most importantly for me, you allowed me to be their mom and come alongside my children in a loving supportive way during this exciting time of their lives.
Dale did a really good job. We are so pleased with the help we received from him. He is very knowledgeable and is a great motivator and kept us on track through the arduous college process. He was always a phone call away and responded very quickly when we needed assistance. He always gave great advice and never sugar coated. Without him, my daughter wouldn’t have been accepted to as many colleges as she did.
Dale is the best of the best. We interviewed several college planners before choosing Dale, and we never looked back. Our son got into EVERY SINGLE college he applied to, even his big dream reach school, and there is no question it was because of Dales guidance. Dale is kind and clear with all expectations, which is something our son needed to stay on top of his deadlines. When our son got into his dream school the first thing he did was take out his phone to tell Dale. Dont even think twice. Dale is worth EVERY penny!!!!
I worked with Dale when he was the president of the Texas Exes LA chapter. He spearheaded a multitude of scholarship initiatives for our chapter and beyond. His care and drive to give students affordable access to higher education is profoundly unprecedented and continues to radiate throughout our chapter! His knowledge alone is well worth the investment!
I had the pleasure of listening to an Access College America workshop and it was very informative and engaging! I walked away with so much advice and knowledge that I didn’t have before and I know the other workshop participants did as well. It gave me a lot of peace of mind to know what my next steps should be and how I should achieve them.
Dale has been amazing through this whole process! I never knew how stressful applying to college could be but having someone with knowledge and experience made it much more manageable! Dale also saved me tons of money by reviewing our financial aid offers. We are extremely pleased with our experience and highly recommend to anyone struggling with the college process.
Dale helped make the college decision and admission process so much more manageable. My son was unsure of where he wanted to attend but Dale helped set him on the path with tools to help make that decision. Dale also helped him focus on the key points he wanted to express in his essays. He also gave my son confidence in his choices and decisions.
Access College America and Dale Price really helped my son with his college search and journey. Dale was very instrumental in providing useful information in navigating the college application process, assisted with keeping my son on track with his essays, applications and provided great communication with the entire family. I would definitely recommend Access College America and Dale Price!
Dale has been a real pleasure to work with. He pushed my daughter to apply for colleges she didnt think she could get into and guess what.... Shes about to become a Texas Longhorn. Thanks Dale.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Dale. It is certainly worth the investment. It definitely paid off for us.
We highly recommend Access College America - working with our high schooler was the best thing - it helped all of us understand and navigate getting to college as it has changed immensely over the years - Thank you so much for helping our high schooler and helping us - we will forever be grateful
Dale provides such incredible care and compassion for his clients. Through his work, he conveys that his passion is guiding young people. It is extremely important to have this positive voice at such a critical time of a child’s life. I would recommend Access College America to anyone in a heartbeat. Dale will sit down with your child and make sure that he/she has a specific, organized plan when entering the college admissions process. Because of Dale’s guidance, my son has admissions offers from UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Duke, UCLA, and the UPenn. I could not be more grateful for what he has done for my family.
