Our daughter, while a relatively strong candidate, was in no way a lock for admission at her top choice, the University of Michigan. Yet with Ashleigh's invaluable guidance, our daughter was admitted to Michigan in the first round (Early Action). If you are looking for a University of Michigan specialist, look no further than Ashleigh Taylor.
