BEST CHOICE COLLEGE CONSULTING


"Our daughter was very anxious when we started the college search and application process. Where do we begin? We interviewed many college advisors but Pam was different. Her experience, passion, and resources were abundant. She made the daunting task of completing applications, essay work, and meeting deadlines seem effortless. We heard the feelings of frustration from other parents, trying to keep their already overscheduled children on task. We felt fortunate to have Pam as our guide through the process. She more than prepared our daughter for what was to come. She was there to advise not only our daughter but our family as well. We are pleased and proud to say that our daughter is now attending her top choice college. We truly feel without Pam’s fastidious preparation and guidance we would not be where we are today. We are excited to work with her again to help us with our son’s college journey! Thank you for everything Pam! You are the best!"
