In the grand quest to find the college that's the right fit for you, to gain a foothold (if not the upper hand) in the application and admissions process, to develop that winning college essay, and, once accepted, to find the money to pay for it all, who would be best suited to guide, coach and de-stress students and parents alike -- the Long Island Medium or The College Whisperer™?

We asked a panel of experts, comprised of noted academics, intellectuals, rocket scientists, and the intern from the local bagel store, to compare and contrast the Long Island Medium (Theresa Caputo) with The College Whisperer™ (Long Island's own Seth Bykofsky), on their respective abilities to help navigate the long and sometimes treacherous road to college admission success.
