P&A Welcomes 2018

We want to start off the New Year by thanking our loyal clients and colleagues who helped us reach new heights in 2017. P&A launched College Admissions Academy, which hosted two successful programs, including "Finding the Right Fit: A Conversation about the College Search" with Maria Furtado, Executive Director of Colleges That Change Lives. Please view pictures from this special event here.

We are also happy to welcome new ninth grade families who live in the Boston area as well as abroad. Investing in college counseling services early in a student's high school career has repeatedly proven to be a wise decision as families are able to access P&A counselors' expertise on a range of topics and are more likely to benefit from optimal outcomes in the college application process.

As we look ahead, we are excited to plan more College Admissions Academy events and invite your input about topics you would like to see addressed. We look forward to celebrating with the Class of 2018 as more favorable admission news arrives, and we already feel inspired by the energy of the Class of 2019 and their enthusiastic start to the college search process.

Thank you for your continued support of Popp & Associates! Our accomplishments would not be possible without the wonderful families we have the honor of serving each day. We wish all of our clients and colleagues much success in the New Year.

Warmly,

Mindy Popp
