Erik McLeod Testimonials

Although our daughter, Karina has always been a top 1% student, with a strong academic and extracurricular profile, we decided to partner with a College Advisor (somewhat late in the game) to maximize her opportunities. In our case, we didn’t find ICC, then Erik McLeod but rather the other way around. We wanted someone special, with experience placing high-potential students from South Florida in top US colleges. We started our search via LinkedIn, narrowed our options, and then met Erik. We immediately fell in love not only with his domain expertise but also with his demeanor. We are thrilled we made that choice. Erik did not only guide Karina with target college lists, essay brainstorming, and overall tracking of deadlines and requirements but he also helped us, the parents in what was our first foray into the exciting yet daunting world of college applications in a competitive world. Erik kept us posted at all times, reviewing key decisions with us but mostly worked independently with Karina. Erik was always available for her and us and helped calm the anxiety that naturally comes as a result of these big life decisions. Most importantly, Erik became more than a college advisor but a true partner who walked alongside us in this process. We unequivocally recommend Erik to any family regardless of high school student profile, career area of interest, or financial means. Thank you Erik for your partnership. You are a true gem.

Working with Mr. Erik McLeod throughout my college application process was one of the most valuable decisions I made. His consistent support with staying organized, meeting deadlines, and refining my applications and essays kept me on track during an overwhelming time. Thanks to his guidance, I received admission offers from multiple great universities—including two Top 20 schools in the U.S.—and was awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships. I’m incredibly grateful for his insight, structure, and the confidence he helped me build along the way.

It was a wonderful experience working with ICC for my son’s college applications and acceptance process. My son pretty much got accepted to most of the applied colleges in his pursuit to study engineering in the Fall of 2024. We particularly want to thank Mr. Erik McLeod for his patience, insight, regular cadence meetings with my son to keep him focused on his activity list & timelines, his help with the applications & essay, and his regular communication to us. The fact that as busy parents we could get someone to help us navigate through the complex college application process was a big help.
