The college search process is overwhelming. We appreciated the way the St. Mary’s counseling team broke the process down into manageable steps, reassured and educated us throughout, and empowered our daughter to feel confident about her options. Her chosen university is the perfect fit and it is a school we only considered because of the recommendation of the St. Mary’s counselors. Cathy Mccormick Wilson '88
