“Charlie was a tremendous help in the college application process. He assisted me in a variety of ways. From helping me develop a strategy for my essays to showing me how to make my application stand out from the rest, his guidance was crucial to my success. On top of everything, his real and authentic personality made me feel like I wasn’t just another number in the system. He took his time to understand what I wanted from my college experience, and ultimately helped me achieve my goals.”
— Patrick K., Student, University of Washington
“Mr. Pangborn understood my ideas when he read my essays and when correcting them he always focused on making my voice heard and not his.”
— Mariana R., UC Davis
“Mr. Pangborn’s services were instrumental in helping me craft compelling essays with real depth. Together, we were able to capture my personality while maintaining a professional tone. What sets Pangborn apart from other college counselors is his individualized approach rather than using a one-size-fits-all template, he helped me create a truly personal and unique application.
“What I appreciated most about the process was the use of thinking maps and brainstorming techniques. I was initially stuck on what to write, but visualizing my experiences and planning how I wanted to present myself made all the difference. This approach helped my applications stand out and genuinely reflect who I am.”
— Adriana A., UC Berkeley
“I could not have asked for a better experience working with Charlie; he went above and beyond to exceed all expectations. He was incredibly thorough in his advising and successfully helped me transform my essays into unique narratives. I did not realize how much work they needed until working with Charlie, and I am so glad that I reached out!”
— Nathan A., USC Undergrad, Harvard Business School
