Frequently Asked Questions

1. When is the best time to hire a private college admissions counselor?

While I start working with families at any point in high school, starting in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade is ideal. Early planning allows us to strategically optimize academic profiles, develop meaningful extracurricular leadership, and craft a compelling narrative well before deadlines. 

2. How does private college counseling help my child stand out?

I pair deep personal insights about your student with insider knowledge of university admissions. By uncovering leadership qualities and unique life experiences your child might overlook, I translate their authentic background into a compelling, high-impact application profile.

3. Do you help students applying to Ivy League and highly selective universities?

Yes. I have a strong track record of placing students at elite institutions, including Princeton, Brown, UPenn, Northwestern, and international powerhouses like Cambridge. I help students bypass generic essay tropes to present unforgettable narratives at any selectivity level.
