Reviews from Workshop Attendees
“I just want to say thanks so much for holding a great class. Our daughter doesn’t know how she would’ve gotten through the common app without Lynda’s help.” – Quince Orchard High School Parent
“We wanted to write a quick note of thanks for running the college application course this past week. Our daughter raved about how awesome it was, and she’s actually sad to see it end! She’s also feeling really good/confident now that she’s finished her common application and essay. From our perspective, the investments of time and money for the course were totally worth it.” – Quince Orchard High School Parent
