"She is incredibly warm and knowledgeable, and was genuinely invested in E’s college admissions experience. We felt so lost and overwhelmed when we came to Mary, and she instantly eased our worries and worked with E to not only seamlessly guide her through the process, but helped instill self-confidence in E as she explored and shared her passions and accomplishments through her applications. Mary’s guidance is invaluable - and because of the work she did with Mary, we know E will thrive at Columbia this fall."
