"Tam focuses on finding the college that is the best fit for the student, where they will not
only have the opportunity to thrive in the academic setting but will grow into an
independent adult. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive to individual needs and
specialties, both academic and extracurricular. Tam has an unusual ability to be able to
communicate with the college-bound student as well as work with the parents. Parents
and students are very pleased with her level of knowledge."

Working with Tam was so helpful. I had no idea how the essays were supposed to be
written ... I was pretty lost. She steered me down the right path.--Carly C

“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.” (This young
man is currently applying to law schools.) 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.” Lyn T, parent

"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."---Vicki B

"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' TECH!" Carly R

"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."---Susan & Joe Burgos

"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, Bobby Goldstein"

"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." ---Fondly, Liz Morris
