Taking the stress out of your college
application process
The College Application process is becoming more and more competitive and pressure-filled for parents and students. The number of applications has continued to increase, up over 20% in the last couple of years, and acceptance rates are declining across private and public schools. No longer are grades and test scores alone enough – a student has to stand out and begin building who they are earlier in the process.
This makes it even more important to get ahead of the college process to find the right fit school and differentiate yourself to admissions counselors, which is where I love to help students and their families. As a lifelong educator, IECA Professional Member, and SACAC-certified College Admissions Consultant, I can help you with:
- Navigating high school classes and requirements
- Building a list of schools that fit the student
- Helping the student stand out with activities, volunteer opportunities, honors, and awards
- Editing an impactful personal essay
- Preparing and practicing for personal college/university interviews
- Working through the Common Application sections
Each year, I work with a limited number of students as their college admissions consultant to give each the necessary attention and time. Located in Atlanta, I work with students here and across the country. I look forward to working with you on your college search journey:
