"Jack did not know where to begin his college search until he started working with you. Naviance was so much like other online college admission services and the schools it came up with just didn't seem like a good fit for him. Helping Jack organize his applications and essays and meet deadlines was the kind of college planning we all needed. Many, many thanks."
