Beth Barteletti Testimonials

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Beth Barteletti, whom I have had the pleasure of working with since my sophomore year. Beth’s expertise and guidance have been invaluable throughout my college application process.
Beth not only provided a deep understanding of the admissions process, but helped me present myself in the best possible light. Beth recommended interesting educational enrichment opportunities for me to better understand my career interests and hone my skills. Her insights into what admissions officers look for in an application were instrumental in maximizing my chances of acceptance. I would have struggled to navigate this complex process and complete my ten applications without her support and guidance.
What sets Beth apart is her commitment to individualized guidance. She took the time to understand my unique aspirations and academic interests. My chosen major is fairly specific, with only a handful of schools offering it. Beth’s research, in and outside of her vast network’s connections, helped me identify the schools that aligned best with my career goals.
Ultimately, I believe that Beth’s expertise and patience played a crucial role in my successful admission to the schools I targeted. I recommend Beth to students seeking personalized, effective guidance during the college application journey.

Beth Barteletti from ICC started working with our son in sophomore year, and we couldn’t have been happier. Beth is very knowledgeable about the admission process, what top tier & highly selective colleges are looking for in applicants and guided our son with course selection and summer courses. She is on top of everything, very dedicated and professional. Even when she had a family emergency, she kept to her meeting schedule and made sure the applications were ready to be submitted. Our son got accepted into a highly selective school of his choice. We are very thankful to Beth for all the guidance she provided to him.

Beth Barteletti is a wonderful college counselor. She helped our daughter navigate her path throughout the college application process. Beth offered the right amount of support while encouraging independence, authenticity and managing expectations. I highly recommend ICC and am most grateful that our daughter had the opportunity to work with Beth and have such a positive experience. Thank you!!!

We are very happy with the amazing work by Beth throughout our son’s entire application process. Since the beginning he felt confident, and even though it was a stressful time, he was always calm and very sure about the process, the steps, the deadlines, and the requirements. It flowed very harmoniously thanks to her advice, knowledge, patience and guidance, we appreciate that. We deeply believe that the result would never have been the same without the guidance, we highly recommend her.

A mere “thank you” does not seem sufficient at the moment! The ICC team, and especially Beth, have been incredibly helpful throughout [my son’s] application process. Thankfully, we have 1 deferral and 5/5 acceptances–including THE ONE acceptance that mattered (Hook’em 🤘🏻🧡). For us, this was the second (& final) go around through the process and once again Beth’s knowledge, professionalism, guidance, patience, and kindness were instrumental in our survival these last few months. She’s wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for everything! We appreciate Beth and the entire ICC team and wish you all well.

My college application process with Beth started in my sophomore year of high school, and every moment working with her has been nothing but positive. Not only does she show joy in her work, as well a wide breadth of knowledge in the college admissions game, and writing skills nothing short of perfect, but a true passion for providing the best for her students in education, applications, interviews, and all the nuances this process entails.
Going into this process fairly blind, Beth was a very comforting person to lean on, educate me and my family on the world of college admissions, and an amazing advisor who always has an answer to my questions. The professionalism, competence, and integrity she processes are truly special and unfortunately quite rare, making Beth among the strongest of college counselors.
Beth was able to harness my abilities to create the best application possible. The number of acceptances would most definitely be much lower without Beth’s help. Her talents also branch off into scholarships. I have been recognized by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Elks Scholarship, Silver Knight, and GE-Reagan Education Foundation to name a few, and with these Beth is able to co-pilot the process flawlessly. She has shown her competence and experience again and again, and with amazing grace.
Beth works with the utmost passion and knowledge. I could not ask anymore from her and because of her I will be enjoying a full ride at the top neuroscience research institute in the world and have formed a professional relationship with a benevolent, charismatic, and intelligent person. Look no further for your counselor; Beth is your person!

My wife and I would like to thank you for your guidance during Christopher’s college application process. Your counseling has gone beyond just application and will surely have lasting impact in Christopher’s life. We are grateful. I am sure we will cross paths in the years to come.
As today is officially Commitment Day, it also marks the end of our last College Application process as a family. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all you did, helping him keep organized, focused and, quite frankly, sane through it all. No doubt it made MY life so much easier, having only to “supervise”, instead of push, and check instead of review in depth. We will always be grateful to you for your assistance and stewardship to his success in achieving his goal and, who knows?, maybe we’ll come back to you for Grad School.

I just wanted you to know what a godsend Beth has been for us going through the college app process. She truly cares about the kids she works with, and has talked me off the ledge more than a few times. This is not an easy process, but she seems to have the demeanor to deal with teenagers. I appreciate all of the work she has done and that ICC has done as well.
As a first-generation college student and as someone from an immigrant family, I did not know what to expect when it came to the college admissions process, and I certainly did not feel prepared. Beth’s advising was instrumental to my successful college application cycle. Beth was well-informed and very helpful, always making time for me and answering my questions in a timely manner. When I felt stressed out or overwhelmed, she would calm me down and help me think of a plan to address whatever issue I was facing, and assure me that it would all be fine. Beth helped me prepare my application, craft my list of schools, proofread essays, provided information and advice on standardized testing, scheduled college visits, etc. Paying for college was a big worry of mine, and Beth helped me apply for financial aid, and identify and apply for scholarships. I do not know how I would have gotten through the college admissions process without Beth, and I certainly would not have been as successful without her. I was admitted to every school I applied to and received numerous scholarship offers.
Beth helped me all throughout high school achieve my endeavors and excel far beyond my expectations. As I took a gap year between high school and college to live abroad, it would have been easy to fall behind in my studies and applications; however, she was there every step of the way. She is an exceptional advisor and a wonderful positive person to be around! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance.

Beth could not have been more helpful, honest and ALWAYS available. Almost three years later it still amazes me the lengths she went to in order to make my daughter’s ED school become a reality – which it did. Being an Admissions Ambassador for my Ivy League alma mater I am more aware of the college enrollment process than most parents but nothing will ever prepare me (nor will I ever forget being blessed with Beth as our counselor) for Beth’s all-in philosophy when it comes to matching high schoolers with their own best colleges or universities. I can’t stress how during this very tense and nerve-racking time how you should run (not walk) to get Beth’s assistance as she will calm you and your child down and guide you to a great school that is the right place/fit for your child.
