“Heather helped us from the very beginning stages right through acceptance. She worked with our daughter to identify her interests and goals and then put together a list of schools for us to research. We narrowed the list, visited some, and found the perfect fit in High Point University. Heather reviewed the completed application and essay and Caroline was accepted early admission. Several friends have told us the college selection process has been very streesful. It was not for us with Heather's help”.
