Testimonials

“In August, when the idea of college applications became a serious task, I was stressed and intimidated. However, Marcella's incredible help throughout the whole process made the seemingly impossible into a completely manageable process. I thank her so incredibly much for being so real and supportive with my college endeavors. I just found out that I was accepted early to Yale—thanks to all her help and guidance.

– Daniel, Yale class of 2022
