I believe …
-
the college admission process is a shared endeavor
-
partnering with students and parents/guardians is the best way to discovery
-
the journey of finding the best-fit college should be one of self-reflection and excitement
-
that the college admission process does not have to be complicated
-
financial fit is just as important as academic and social fit
-
each student’s journey is unique
-
you are more than your grades and test scores, and we will help you tell your own genuine story
I will …
-
learn every student's individual story
-
ask the right questions to support students on their journey of self-discovery
-
curate a list of best-fit colleges based on research
-
encourage reality about your application list based on research
-
share strategies for getting to know colleges
-
advise students and families on the college application process from the perspective of an admissions dean
-
encourage dreaming about what college your college experience can be – academically and socially
-
strategize about the application itself – recommendation letters, what you choose to tell colleges about who you are in the activities section, and your essays
-
support your family through the scholarship search process
-
advise your family through the financial aid process if requested
