Testimonial: "After a rough admissions process coming out of high school, I had lost most of my confidence in my abilities and the idea that I could attend a top university. Today, I have been admitted to Vanderbilt University, University of Southern California, Emory University, and Boston College (every transfer application I sent in). Pam was instrumental in highlighting specific parts of my application, and her knowledge of the admissions process is unparalleled. She knows how to take personal statements and supplemental essays to the next level, all while being the most supportive and welcoming character. From the first call, it is very evident that she cares deeply about the students she works with and Helping Hand College Guidance played a significant role in my success. I highly recommend her to all applying to college!" JD- Pasadena, CA
