| “I came to Tam because I had zero insight: what to do to get into college? Could I get into college? How high should I set my standards? Tam answered all these questions and more. I found skills that I had never known I had while working with her. She even made writing essays fun! My only regret is that I didn’t get involved with Tam before senior year. Tam was a great help in not only the application process, but EVERY process from college trips, someone to talk to when you are alone in your dorm, EVERYTHING. I'm now in my second semester of college and have made the adjustment very well. I know this is exactly where I am meant to be and I know I would never be here without Tam’s guidance.” Nick B, student |
“My daughter and I were so overwhelmed by the college process that she almost didn't apply for a
four year college. We had heard about the way Tam had helped several of the other students at the
high school become admitted to some amazing schools even when they had special considerations.
When we met with her, she educated us on the admission process, helped us through every step of
the process, and also suggested a school that is a perfect match for my daughter. She did this by
taking the time to learn my daughter's strengths and educational needs. My daughter has emailed to
me "I cannot find the words to express how amazing this school and the people are here. We are a
family in our dorm." She has this opportunity because of Tam's expertise and ability to match
students with colleges where they can shine. College is a monumental experience for our children
and my daughter and I owe Tam our heartfelt thanks in making this everything we have dreamed for
her.”

"I would highly recommend the services provided by Tam to all potential college students. My son
was accepted to almost every school he applied to and he is absolutely thrilled to be attending the
University of Tampa this fall with a major in Communications. My daughter will be attending TX Tech
Univ and has been accepted into the Techniques program. Tam's resources, extensive knowledge
and her ability to form a great relationship and communication skills with the kids was most
advantageous in the college selection and application process for our family."

"Tam did a fantastic job advising me on college, and my choice. When I first met Tam I had absolutely
no clue where I wanted to go to college, or what I wanted to do with my life.Tam picked out schools I
really feel I would have loved, so she made it tough for me to narrow down my choices before our
meetings. Once Tam and I finally narrowed my choices down, I absolutely fell in love with Texas Tech.
I never would have thought on my own to even look at this school, but now that I am here I could not
imagine going to another school. This is the school I was meant to go to, and I honestly owe it all to
Tam, for having insight into me,, and knowing what I needed in a school. Thanks Tam and WRECK EM'

"When our daughter Jenny started considering her college choices Tam suggested that we start by
looking at what schools fit not just her academic abilities but her personality as well. After meeting
with Tam she was able to determine that a smaller liberal arts school would be the most suited for
Jenny. Tam recommended colleges within Texas and several out of state.
Tam made the college selection and application process less intimidating. With Tam's guidance our
daughter applied to five wonderful liberal arts schools across the country. She was accepted with
scholarships to her top choices, and is now beginning an exciting future in college."

"Dear Tam: Let me sing your praises and express my utmost gratitude for the work you did on
Cooper's behalf. Your in-depth assessment of Cooper and what needed to be done this year has laid
the foundation for his successful transition into college. A student's Senior year is exciting, nerve
racking, exhausting and on top of all there's the college search and application process to contend
with; but thanks to you and the wonderful work you do, Cooper has been accepted and paid his
deposit to attend Ithaca College this fall and we couldn't be more proud of him. Your unwavering
dedication to each student and finding the "just right' collegiate match f or them, and then guiding
them through the application maze has led to countless successes for students and sighs of relief
from parents. I wholeheartedly recommend you and your services to any and everyone I know with a
college bound student! Thank you again, Tam, and I look forward to working with you again as the
rest of my brood grows up! With best wishes and warmest regards, I am very truly your"s,

I am writing this letter to anyone who needs assistance helping their child find the right college for
their children. I searched for months trying to get some help. I have twin sons that had, shall we
say, less than adequate resumes. I stumbled into Tam Warner Minton. Truly a gift. Tam worked with
my children, cared about their futures and led them on a journey I was not able to. I am a teacher
and more than capable to help my kids and yet I was overwhelmed by the sea of information,
procedures, deadlines and requirements each university requested. Tam did it all! She guided them
through the process of choosing the correct school according to their interest but more importantly
their academic and social needs. She helped them create a working resume, fill out complicated
forms, and taught them to take responsibility for the timelines that this process forces. One of my
kids has special learning needs and Tam was able to help him choose schools that had special
programs specifically designed these types of students. She also recognized the need for my other
son to be involved in a dorm that supported him and required him to be part of a smaller community
within the huge 20,000 student population. Have you ever tried to navigate around one of these
college websites? I have and it's frustrating to say the least! Tam always knew exactly which link to
click on to and what key words to look for. Wow! I don't think I have ever met anyone more
dedicated to what they do. Understanding the teen mind is almost an impossible task. Tam is the
"Teen Whisperer". She naturally connected to my teens at a time they were completely
disconnected from anything resembling responsibility. The end result was that my children applied
to 7 universities each. They were accepted to every single one. One son now attends the
University of Denver and his brother attends Colorado State University in Fort Collins Co. Words
cannot explain how my children and I feel about Tam. I recommend her to everyone I talk to. You
are not alone in this. Call Tam. You can turn this overwhelming process over to someone who
knows the system and you can relax and know your children are getting the best advice out there.
