“My son now is a very different person from the boy whose college career you launched. In this process, he crossed the bridge to adult awareness and remarkable self-understanding. The Talmud says we should honor a teacher as a parent. My wife was the mother of the child and you are the mother of the new adult.”

“Your ideas, encouragement, and enthusiasm have been invaluable.”

“The résumé unified my application and enabled me to highlight my strengths. It’s clear from the comments on the acceptance letters I’ve received that the law school admissions committees read my résumé and understood what I had to offer.”

and NYU Law Schools

“IT CAME JUST NOW! I just received a letter from my #1 college and I was accepted! I am so happy that I had to e-mail you immediately. You were a big part of my acceptances, not only to the school I wanted most, but to all the other colleges as well. Thanks for all the help.”

“The next few years are definitely going to be a nerve-racking experience, but thanks to your brilliant guidance it is going to be easier for me. Now I have a general understanding of what I should strive to perfect and what I should be doing the remaining years of my high school life.”

— 10th Grader, New Delhi, India

“Pam Proctor brought a fresh perspective to my daughter’s boarding school application. She elicited details that I might have overlooked and pulled them together in a way that helped my daughter present a complete picture of her talents. What’s more, working with Pam relieved me of the pressure to set deadlines and be a nudge. I can honestly say the boarding school application process was a breeze!”

“Our son’s college is a perfect match. We all know how he got there, how his feet were set on this path, and who was the creative mentor and guardian of his success.”
