Hear from other students

Without Mrs. Talmage's guidance, I would have been confused, lost, and completely overwhelmed. She was incredibly organized, accommodating, knowledgeable, and supportive. She always listened to my ideas and made sure my voice came through in my personal statement, rather than just telling me what to do. I was initially hesitant about working strictly online, but it turned out to be a great experience.

If it wasn’t for Mrs. Talmage, I wouldn’t have felt nearly as confident or prepared during my college application process. Her dedication, organization, and encouragement meant so much to me, and I’d recommend her to any high school graduate looking to attend college. Thank you again, Whitney!
