“We signed up with Score At The Top when my son was in the 11th grade. I wish we had taken Judi and her advisors much earlier on, around 9th or 10th grade. Their advice about signing up for courses, lining up extracurricular activities, preparing a résumé, writing essays, and filling out college application was invaluable. During the application period, there were times when we received responses within 15-20 minutes, even around midnight.”
