Five Star Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

Prior to discovering EDFIN, I had no idea where to start once admitted into college. I was completely lost. Thanks to Shelly, I can experience college freely without having to worry about being a financial burden. She was always there whenever I had questions regarding college, and always managed to resolve any issues I had even before going to college.


Shelly Rufin,

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you! Shelly Rufin, College Prep Consultant and the EDFIN College Prep Team
