Clients Share Their Favorite Moments Working with P&A

“Mindy is an absolutely fabulous person to work with! I know that I would not have been nearly as on top of the college process in terms of meeting deadlines, scheduling interviews, submitting test scores, etc. without her. She was there with top-notch advice, invaluable honesty, and genuine support whenever I needed her. The college process was such a mix of excitement and anxiety for me, but Mindy helped keep me focused and organized so that I could meet my goals...”  Read More

Knowing you were there to support our daughter through the demanding and stressful college application process has given us great peace of mind and added a lot of value beyond what we could have done as her parents on our own.  I cannot thank you enough.” Read More
