Thank you so much for the College Admissions Process workshop you presented at Walter Johnson. All of the feedback I have had from the overflow crowd that attended has been a common theme, that being "clear", "concise", "informative", and "extremely knowledgeable". Many people called and/or e-mailed me to thank the PTSA for inviting you.
