"It is evident that Mandy knows her stuff, has done her research, and is keeping up with changes and trends in admissions. She clearly cares about helping students and families. After our conversations, I feel more confident that I'm on the right track, both with my current senior who just finished her applications, and with her younger brother, who's a junior this year. "
