I don’t know where to begin to thank Chuck for making my daughter’s college dreams come true. My daughter may have chosen 5-6 colleges, but she had her heart set on one. Chuck was honest, realistic and attentive to not only my daughter’s needs, but to mine and her father’s as well. What could have been a very stressful time for us became very easy. Chuck kept us updated with what we needed to do as the parents, the deadlines and procedures. He was in contact with my daughter on a weekly basis and she also enjoyed working with Chuck. The college selection and admittance process has become complicated, competitive and confusing. I highly recommend anyone that is even slightly concerned about the process to contact Chuck for a consultation.
