We Talked about Test Scores, GPA, Extracurricular Activities, and Questions I did not Realize Mattered

It’s hard to believe that two years ago I sat in your office feeling overwhelmed at the task of finding the right university for me. I remember in our initial meeting when you asked me questions regarding what I wanted for my college experience such as small or large, public or private, urban or residential. We talked about test scores, GPA, extracurricular activities, and questions I did not realize mattered. As my journey continued, I was able to not only make sense of these questions, but to answer them as well. Through my college inventory and subsequent visits I began Continue Reading

She is a Good Mentor for Young People

I am a single parent who had no clue regarding college information until I had heard about Amy. Being single, it can be difficult, at times, to figure things out on your own and if it hadn’t been for Amy to help us, I don’t think my younger son, Derek, would have ever gone to college. She is a very positive person and helped both of us with the FAFSA and financial aid, and helped Derek figure out the college of his choice. She is a good mentor for young people and I know they listen to other people sometimes Continue Reading

Through Amy I found my dream school and believe I made the best decision that has come my way yet. The most valuable thing my parents did for me was to sign up for Amy’s services my junior year. Most of my peers thought I was crazy Continue Reading

She Worked with Our Sons to “Groom” Them for Interviews, and Helped Them Write a Resume

We employed Amy to help us with the college admissions process. Our eldest children were just finishing their junior year, and we had no idea what we should be doing when. This is where Amy came in; she answered all of our thousands of questions and was available by phone when any other questions came up. She worked with our sons to “groom” them for interviews, and helped them write a resume. She proofread their first draft and even their second draft to make sure the final result was the best it could be! She had appointments one on one Continue Reading

Heaven-Sent

The first time we met Amy Sosnowski was at a free information seminar that we almost decided to skip at the last minute. Boy, what a mistake that would have been! We found Amy’s services to be invaluable, from FAFSA filing, to college searches, to the application process and beyond. Since we had never been through this before, we had no idea what we didn’t know! She held our hand and our daughter’s hand from her junior year in high school right on through graduation. Our daughter was accepted to a private college that we would have never considered or Continue Reading
