The college admissions process is a huge time commitment, but with Pamela I was able to knock out my essays early to help me better focus on academics and activities during senior year. Her advice was always geared toward my success, and she helped me make sure that all aspects of my applications were just right. The Common App essay writing was difficult, but the WOW Writing program that Pamela used really helped me get into the right headspace for writing. Not only did Pamela help me work through applications during the fall of senior year, but she also referred me to an industry professional whom I interned with over the summer! It was a great experience and definitely an important piece in my applications.

When you have to get something done as important as college admissions, I think it is very helpful to have someone as knowledgeable as Ms. Shelor. She will keep you on track with what you need to get done and give you constructive criticism, to help you get to where you want. My favorite part about working together was discussing what I was interested in and what I had experienced in order to write my essays.

Not only have I gotten into so many great colleges I also was informed of and later got into an amazing internship where I am having a blast working at. The advice given throughout the whole process was invaluable for not only college admission but narrowing down the colleges I might want to go to.

I didn't like anything about the college admissions process beforehand. The most confusing parts were writing the essays and deciding on which colleges to apply to. Mrs. Shelor helped me prioritize colleges that fulfilled my interests and to understand how to write my college essays.I liked the feedback on my essays because they made me confident in the final products.

Before I met Pamela Shelor, I was very closed off from the college process. I was overwhelmed with all the tasks I was responsible for completing and didn’t know where or how to start. Pamela helped ease me into the process, taking things step by step, so that I could accomplish all my essays and other various assignments on time and with 100% authenticity. Because of Pamela, my college application process was increasingly less difficult and stressful, and most importantly, more enjoyable than I initially perceived.

I was very insecure about starting the process, I didn't know how to write my Common App essay or which schools to look for when applying. Mrs. Shelor  helped me find out which schools would be good fits for me. She also really helped with my essays, giving me a step-by-step process to complete the Common App and checking over my supplemental to make sure they were concise. I can use the techniques I gained from this experience in any other applications I decided to do, applying to a job or any program within college. Senior year can be very stressful and getting some of the college application parts out of the way early like the Common App essay really helped me. Having someone with experience looking over my work was also very reassuring.

 I was feeling very overwhelmed because this was the first time anyone in my family did a process like this in the US. The planning and executing parts of the application were the most daunting and confusing for me personally. Mrs. Shelor helped me organize and plan out a timeline to get things done and made the whole process seem a lot less stressful. Giving deadlines helped me not procrastinate.

My favorite part was having the outside perspective to help guide me to showcase myself the best to the schools I was applying to. Because I plan on getting my masters later on in life, I'll remember the skills I learned for future applications.

Overall, I felt like I was drowning in information and didn't know where to turn for help. Mrs. Shelor’s guidance helped me to feel more confident and prepared, which reduced my anxiety and helped me to focus on the task at hand. Her  guidance was incredibly helpful, and she  always took the time to explain things in a clear and concise manner. I also appreciated her willingness to provide feedback and support throughout the process. I learned so much during the process. I will take away many things, such as how to find scholarships and other opportunities, as well as improved essay writing skills. Additionally, I learned how to manage my time more effectively and stay organized throughout the college admissions process.

When I first came to Mrs. Shelor I had no idea where I wanted to go to college or what I wanted to major in. Mrs. Shelor helped me find a great list of colleges, and figure out what majors might fit me based on personal interests and aptitude tests. Once we had that step sorted, she helped me with the application process and was an amazing guide through the Common App. I left Mrs. Shelor committed to a school I’m very excited about and an education pathway I can’t wait to explore.

The entire application process felt daunting. Pamela’s services guided me through considering a variety of different factors in choosing what colleges to apply to.

I had no idea what I needed to do to start. I knew that it was going to be long and difficult  and definitely stressful. I was mostly scared about writing the essays required with the applications. Pamela helped me research the colleges I was applying to. She made it easier because she mapped out a timeline to meet deadlines so I wasn’t cramming everything at the end. I really got to understand the steps in detail of what colleges expect in the application process.

Going into the college application process, I was very overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience of working with Pamela. She was extremely helpful with showing me how to refine my essays and helping me determine how to present myself in my college application. In the end, I was able to get into my top school. I am so grateful for all of the work she put into making the process easy and less stressful for my family and me.

The college application process has always seemed very overwhelming to me. I was fortunate enough to have my parents connect me with Mrs. Shelor to help ease the stress and confusion, which was only elevated due to the pandemic. 

Mrs. Shelor helped me narrow down my list of schools based on what was best for me. She helped me figure out which were safe and which were target schools, and gave me great feedback on all the essays that are required when applying to colleges. 

I had a short time frame to work with Mrs Shelor, and so she always made herself available to help me complete the work and hit all college deadlines.

I was very fortunate to be admitted to many schools, so I had many great options, and I was thrilled when I got into Northeastern University! I very much appreciate all of the help Mrs Shelor gave me, and my parents have already signed my younger brother up for her services.

I would highly recommend Mrs. Shelor to anyone dealing with the college application process.

I began working with Mrs. Shelor to start my college essays- a process I was clueless about. Not only did she exceed this goal of mine, but she helped me through the college admissions process in ways that I never could have imagined. Through her encouragement and guidance, I was accepted into 10 colleges and numerous honors programs, ultimately deciding on my top choice school- UNC Chapel Hill with being offered an Accelerated Research Program there. Mrs. Shelor provided me with helpful resources and advice that was truly tailored to my specific needs and interests, as well as kept my deadlines organized. I am so thankful for her help and support, and strongly recommend Shelor College Consulting to any high school student preparing to apply for college!

The college application process always seemed incredibly overwhelming to me. However, with the help of Mrs. Shelor, this process became a completely positive experience.

Mrs. Shelor was nothing but enthusiastic and incredibly hard working during the time I worked with her. Mrs. Shelor went above and beyond when it came to helping me prepare for my college path by providing me with resources and connections. She worked day and night to help me discover my interests, develop and refine my list of schools, and connect me with multiple professionals related to my future career goals.

Mrs. Shelor helped me become more confident in my academic readiness. I was very fortunate to be admitted into multiple schools and was ultimately admitted into my top choice- UNC Chapel Hill and their Honors Carolina program!

I am incredibly grateful for everything Mrs. Shelor has done for me over the past two years and I highly recommend Shelor College Consulting for anyone who is going through the college application process!
