"Scott
Healy & Associates helped move Towson University to
a new level in the realm of admissions. Since Scott's work
at the University in 1999, we have increased our application
pool by 40%, improved our student profile enormously, greatly
improved our selectivity while maintaining yield and we
have been able to close admissions in early June. The positive
difference in our total operation in just a few months was
astounding. Scott and his company was a great contributor
to our dramatic turn around."
