Jeff Neill

College Counselor, GRADED - The American School, Sao Paulo

"My favourite feature in Cialfo by far is the task list. The ability to give students a list of things to do based on where they're applying, what their particular major is, or indecision, allowing them to have a customized experience."

Nitika Thakur

Head of Careers & College Counseling, Dhirubhai Ambani International School

"The introduction of Cialfo brought with it features that are more student- and counselor-friendly. Also, it reached out to regions beyond the US and Canada, which made it more globally acceptable. Cialfo in one word? Comprehensive."

Melissa Almodal-Abraham

Counselor, Reedley International School, The Philippines

"Because of Cialfo, I can see that it will be so much easier for me to monitor my students' pre-application tasks. My usual laborious tasks of university planning, recommending universities and keeping application records seem to have become so easy. I can now devote more time talking to more students."

Sudarshana Shukla

Guidance Counsellor, The Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai

“Direct Apply is an amazing tool, and it’s great that you have individual advisors walking students through the process. It just gives the students and us confidence in the product. Direct Apply makes things so efficient in terms of completing the application — student details are pre-populated from the information they’ve filled in on Cialfo.”
