Maggie and Academic Pathways Consulting was pivotal in navigating our student's college future by providing professional, yet personal guidance and encouragement every step of the way. She was there from start to finish; strategically charting the course to improve graduating GPA, assisting with test prep options, adding guidance in submitting applications and essays, managing deadlines, and obtaining letters of recommendation. She has an innate ability to connect and communicate with young adults on "their level", while balancing and (as needed at times) mediating the relationship between parent and student. Best of all, Mom and Dad were able "hand over the keys to Maggie" and allow our student to independently take charge of their future; while still having peace of mind knowing a trusted and knowledgeable guide was there to keep things on track. Thank You, Maggie, we appreciate your dedication and expertise, and we really couldn't have done this without you!
