For each and every student, there is a school that provides

the academic, social and extracurricular fit in which that individual can grow and thrive.  My goal is to support students in preparing thoughtful applications that clearly communicate to admissions readers the student’s strengths and accomplishments.

The ultimate goal is to help students match up with the best-fit schools where they will flourish. 

My college counseling program helps students to:

• select academically appropriate and challenging courses in high school
• strategize appropriate schedule for taking SAT, ACT or Subject Tests
• consider meaningful extracurricular activities that showcase student interests
• stay focused on academic success while maintaining balance
• consider lesser-known, quality schools in order to create a balanced list
• plan for meaningful campus visits
• evaluate high school “brag sheet”
• get coached on admissions interviewing skills
• brainstorm ideas for essays that “stand out”
• monitor the application process
• request supportive teacher recommendations
• create well-written and proofed essays that convey the student’s voice and message
• convey appropriate levels of interest in the school to which the student applies
• carefully evaluate early application options
• follow deadlines for financial aid application
