I was surprised by how much admissions had changed since I went to school. With Kate and Jenny's Guidance, we were able to create a list of great schools that met my son's wants and needs. Kate and Jenny know the college admission inside and out. They provided helpful examples, useful tools, and were easy to understand.

My high school guidance department held one college night to explain how to get into college, which was not enough information. When I searched for more instructions, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. I didn't know whose advice to take. When I read about My Admissions Sherpa's mini-courses, I felt confident that the people who designed it knew what they were doing. The mini-courses gave me the help and direction I needed. They told me what to do and how to do it. They were a huge help!

My daughter had no idea what to write her essay about. We read examples of college essays online but still weren't sure what would appeal to admissions officers. We did the mini-course on writing essays and finally felt like we knew what to do. When we had a question about Penn State's supplemental essay, we emailed My Admissions Sherpa and they answered us!
