Debbie provided us with the organization, structure and insights we needed to navigate the college admissions process. It can be really overwhelming, and having her keep us on point, while providing us some important guidance, made it a much more manageable experience. Everything was completed in a timely manner and presented to colleges very neatly. My daughter got into many colleges and had wonderful options and happily got into her first choice school as well. I would highly recommend Debbie Cinquemani.
