Opening Doors to the Right College, at the Right Price.
Helping students succeed in college by connecting families with affordable, high-quality colleges that are the right fit academically, socially, and personally.
Choosing a college is a vital decision in life. It requires careful planning and research to find the school that best fits the student academically, socially, and financially. High school counselors often have a large student-to-counselor ratio. An independent college consultant provides consistent, personalized service..
Getting an outside perspective can help students clarify their goals, interests, and the type of college they are seeking.
An independent educational consultant assists the student in developing a college list that reflects their goals, interests, and preferred campus atmosphere. This approach helps them create a list of colleges that are the best fit.
My specific focus is helping families and students research different types of financial aid, both need-based and merit-based, and systematically create a college list that meets the students’ needs and provides an affordable aid package.
Colleges assemble their freshman cohorts like a baseball team. They look for a variety of strengths and diverse qualities that complement each other. Colleges seek geographical diversity and a range of talents and strengths, so it is essential to cast a wide net and apply to a variety of colleges and universities, especially if you're seeking financial aid.
The college landscape is changing rapidly. I stay up to date on changes and trends in higher education admissions.
