I am so grateful for the experience my family had working with AKALA. My son is  the first of four to go to college, so the application process was in many ways  overwhelming and stressful. We started with AKALA when our son was in 9th  grade. With their guidance we felt he had maximized his profile with activities and  service opportunities as well as academics. But, terms like early decision,  restrictive early action, and merit based scholarships seemed confusing and  complicated. Our kids are in a large school district, and although my son’s counselor did her best to support our son, there were just some questions we  had during the process she did not have the knowledge or availability to answer. The personal care and support we received from AKALA was always specific, helpful and compassionate.
