College Admissions Experts Testimonial

One recent Facebook post from a mom whose daughter just started her freshman year of college is a great testimonial of the welcoming, expert-led energy of our Facebook community:

To everyone, as my daughter has found her place, moved into the dorm, and started her collegiate path, I have to say THANK YOU to this group. I am now taking a breath to catch up and get back to life, hopefully close to as it was before the college search journey. Senior year is such a fast, hectic, stressful, but precious season. Not everyone takes it as seriously as those in this group, and those of you who follow this group. Thank you for taking the journey with us.
Thank you to each and every one of you who answered my questions and left comments. Your input helped make the application process less intimidating by making everything more understandable.
Best wishes to each and every one of you. Thank you again to the Admissions Experts for all of your input and help.
