"I had many friends who had regular fights with their children over meeting deadlines, creating college lists, and revising essays. We didn’t have any of that because Compass provided a structure for our daughter to do those things herself. In this way, the Compass team helped preserve our relationship with our daughter in an otherwise stressful time.

By working with the Compass team, we were able to gain a much better understanding of the overall process; they do an excellent job of providing a defined roadmap for when key tasks need to be completed. I appreciated the way the Compass team communicated with our family and also held our daughter accountable to complete certain tasks. The Compass team is just a pleasure to work with. Very professional and engaging. They are extremely informative and did a great job communicating expectations and status throughout the course of working with our family.

I think we all would be totally lost without their help! Dr. Pamela and her team have a unique blend of knowledge and resources that are invaluable when your child is applying for college, and they use a systematic and realistic approach that helps the students and parents to remain grounded throughout the process.”

"As a working parent, I felt as if I was falling short in supporting my daughter because I did not have the time to dedicate to learning the details of the process. I would recommend Compass’ services because they really get to know your child, their desires, and interests so that they can help them find a college that is the best fit for them. "

Before working with Compass, I hadn’t even narrowed down my top choices or done much research into which schools would truly be best for me. They helped me develop a more structured, organized plan for applying to colleges. Ultimately, I was able to get into almost all the schools where I applied, including my top choice!

The thought of applying to multiple colleges at once seemed overwhelming and writing essays felt very intimidating - I did not know where to start. Dr. Pamela broke down the application process into simple steps that allowed me to not feel overwhelmed which helped me to submit everything in an organized and timely fashion.

I was nervous about finding the right college but as a result of working with Compass, I felt more confident in thinking about the hard questions to ask to help me choose the right school for me. I feel so much better about going off to college in the fall.
