“PANO allowed me to take more control of the entire application process and helped me understand how to choose the school best suited for me. My consultant also helped me understand exactly what type of school was the best fit in terms of my application strengths and academic interests. Under the guidance of my essay editor, I learned a lot; for example, when writing my own essays, I end up overlooking some mistakes, but after discussing it each week, my essay editor will teach me methods on how to take an incomplete essay and slowly turn it into something with substance. PANO also helped me look for internship opportunities and provided me many chances to interact with my fellow students.”

“I’ve been with PANO since the 10th grade. PANO’s teachers helped me prepare for the ACT and we brainstormed together on some key pointers for the application essay. To us 12th graders, the application process is a huge strain on us. I’d often voice my complaints about the whole process, but the consultants always listened to me and helped me de-stress. PANO consultants aren’t just people who help us apply for college, they’re also mentors who guide us through this difficult journey.“

“PANO was a vital component along the path for applying to a college. I had decided very late that I wanted to study abroad and my SAT scores were far from ideal. The deadline for writing the application essay was also coming to a close (end of September), but PANO was able to provide me assistance in a short amount of time. They organized my previous experiences even under my circumstances where I didn’t know what I should be doing. PANO had guided me and found my unique traits and allowed me to put them into my application.“

“Since 11th grade, I’ve been working with PANO on my college application. Their teachers helped me prepare for the standardized testings and guided me through the whole college application process. To any procrastinators like me, PANO is great as they personalize your timeline and keep track of your progress. They are not just amazing college counselors but caring people that you would want to share your ups and downs to. They try to offer the best advice but at the same time respect all your thoughts and decisions. I never regretted choosing PANO and I am really grateful to them for their support throughout this stressful time.“

“I feel PANO greatly helped me for the SATs and during the college application process! PANO taught me different methods of preparing for the SAT, the proper methods for learning, and made the preparation process a lot easier. During the application step, PANO provided me a lot of guidance and helped me organize my schedule. When I came across any problems, PANO helped me solve them. I feel that having someone to guide me along made the application process a lot smoother.“
