College Admissions Consulting

The college admissions process in the US is complex to say the least. How does one determine “fit”? What makes a school “better” than another? How do we keep all of the deadlines and documents straight? And what about financial aid and scholarships? It’s an overwhelming process with high stakes.

School counselors do their best to support your student, but with the average high school counseling caseload in California at 464:1 as of 2022-23, the task of supporting a student’s college application journey can quickly start to feel impersonal and generalized (ASCA). That’s where support from an experienced professional can come in handy.

Many college consulting firms are faceless and focused on the bottom line. When you don’t know who you’re working with, it’s difficult to know if the support you are paying thousands of dollars for is truly worth your while.

As a former School Counselor, I’m able to provide you with the benefits of an insider looking at the big picture, while also being able to support your student’s individualized needs and understand the nuance of their interests.
