Testimonial from Camp Application 2016

"Hi Felicia.  I wanted to take a second to thank you.  My son's application process was totally painless thanks to you. To date, he has gotten into 6 of the 7 colleges to which he applied (still waiting to hear from UW, number 7) and even has received a few merit based scholarship offers.  He submitted his apps early and took care of EVERYTHING all on his own.  I credit you and your summer camp to a large degree for his success.  My friends have spent thousands on counselors, only to lament the fact that they are nagging their kids to get their applications in, if not actually doing the applications for them."  (Palo Alto High School mom, class of 2017)
