College of Wooster – Changing Lives
The College of Wooster is a fantastic liberal arts college in a small town in Ohio. It's a place that trains scholars--even students who are not scholars in high school. Wooster still requires a culminating research experience at the end of the four year Bachelors degree as a way to bring together everything one has learned. Visiting a college is a good way to get a measure of the friendliness of a campus. Wooster gave me personalized attention when I arrived--even at 4:15 on a Friday afternoon in August. If you want personalized attention and advice in choosing a college that is right for you, you might want to consult Montgomery Educational Consulting for some great college advice.

Educational Consultant Gives Family Hope
Mark, sorry for the delay of this but I wanted to thank you for everything you did for our daughter–and for Rob and me. To say we were lost is an understatement. You gave us such a wonderful gift- hope. Thank you so much and best of luck to you.
Our Son Needed Scholarship Money, and He Got It
Long story short, Sam applied to nine schools suggested by Mark, was admitted to all, and also offered a scholarship at every institution. Our only regret is that we did not engage Mark's services earlier. Our son's senior year could have been a lot more fun for us as parents, and for our son.
