Testimonials
“Dr. Gay Pepper is an extraordinary educator and consummate professional whose expertise in college counseling give you enormous confidence. In addition to serving as an Associate Dean of Admissions at the University of Pennsylvania, Gay has traveled to colleges throughout the United States and abroad to meet with admission deans to discuss the unique features of their college. Her greatest gift is the wisdom and empathy she brings to her work with families. She is both mentor and friend. Gay has an uncanny way of inspiring students and guiding them to colleges that are ideal matches.”

“The college guidance process is more art than science. Many have mastered the statistics but not grasped the nature of the student. Others have mastered the student but are clueless as to the appropriate choice. In Gay’s case, we got the rare combination of both. Our son was gifted but had a different learning style, presenting a challenge to find the right path and the right fit. Not only did Dr. Pepper help our son design an appropriate college program but also was a tremendous resource, a strong ally and a needed confidante in this stressful process. We are enormously grateful, knowing that our child is the direct beneficiary of a remarkably well thought out roadmap”

“Having Dr. Pepper guide us through the college admissions maze was one of the smartest decisions we have made as a family. Gay takes college counseling to a new level of sophistication. Her approach is state of the art. Analyzing the innate abilities of the student as a starting point, she combines these insights with the values, interests and goals to provide a framework for building the college list. Gay was an inspiration, giving us good counseling at each stage. She always went the extra mile, whether it was making that phone call to an admissions dean or providing application strategies. Dr. Pepper brings an extraordinary range of talents to her work, along with boundless energy, positive encouragement, and personal warmth. We give her our highest commendation”
