Testimonials

“We were particularly pleased when Mindy Popp suggested schools that we hadn’t considered and that our daughter really liked. I only wish we had found her earlier.” Read more

Parent, Winchester, MA

“My husband and I couldn’t thank Mindy Popp enough for all she’s done. Without her services, this process would have been grueling, probably putting a huge strain on our relationship with our son. Her expertise and professionalism are unwavering. We have already acquired her services for our second son and we look forward to working with her again.” Read more

Parent, Franklin, MA

“Mindy Popp genuinely cares about helping kids (and families) survive this process with the ultimate goal of not just thick acceptance envelopes, but also a sense of perspective and their egos and relationships left intact, if not made stronger by the process. A true feat!” Read more

“The college application process can be very stressful, time consuming and downright aggravating. Mindy made the process efficient, less stressful, and very successful.
