Welcome

Let me help you complete the marathon of the college process…

 

Together we'll take the steps to cross the finish line!

 

As a state-certified school counselor in both New Jersey and New York with 18 years of admissions experience, I have helped hundreds of students get accepted to the college of their choice. 

 

As your college search consultant, I will provide you with the individualized attention, information, and tools you need to find the right college for your child. 

 

I will help you decipher and navigate the entire college process, including:

 

·      How to select the right colleges in order to maximize your chances of success and happiness

·       Understanding the application process (admissions policies and practices, the Common Application, etc.)

·       The “when’s”, “which’s”, and “why’s” of the SAT I, SAT II, and ACT exams (and the colleges that no longer require them for admission)

·       How to visit your prospective colleges: how to get the most out of your time on campus and how to get the school to remember you

·       How to write an essay that will make you stand out from the crowd

·       How to select the right courses during each year of high school

·       NCAA Eligibility and the potential for athletic scholarships

·       Financial Aid: are you eligible for loans and/or scholarships?  How do you know when scholarship search offers are too good to be true?
