I worked with Paul Rollins and was fortunate to do so. He really helped me break down what admissions would actually want to see and helped me formulate my story in such a way as to make my application better. I have no doubt that the application I sent was the strongest it possibly could have been with my stats. He never gave me unrealistic expectations about my chances at any given school which I appreciated as it didn’t feel like he was ‘selling’ me on a higher school than I could actually get into. The cost of Spivey ended up paying for itself many many times over in scholarship award at a good school, so it was absolutely worth it for me.
