“MTD is a selfless and truly encouraging college consulting group. Mr. Pyo lives and works for others: I have sent Mr. Pyo at least 5 E-mails every single day for multiple months and he has not missed a single one. He knows that the applicants want immediate answers. Therefore, he replies within 30 minutes after sending him a question through an email. Very experienced in helping students with college applications, there is not one time he did not have an answer for me. He knows by heart facts about interviews, supplements for almost every existing colleges, attractive essays and more. During 30 minutes of a meeting with him, he provides information that usually takes years for one to recount. In addition, he knows exactly which college fits one’s character, background and intelligence.

After few weeks of meeting him in person and receiving his service, he became a person, a special person who I will never forget. Even if I can live 150 years of life, I do not think I can give back to him enough.”
