My business is centered around empowering YOU to choose the best fit university by understanding who you are, where you have come from, and what you can accomplish during college and beyond. I intend to guide you AND your family throughout the admissions and enrollment journey by reducing the unknowns, providing my knowledge and insight and by hopefully creating a conflict-free environment at home because you will be invested and meet all the deadlines. Do you remember the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie books from Kindergarten and first grade? One thing leads to another in those cause and effect stories and I think of my process like that. We will begin with an interest and aptitude test, which leads to knowledge of which careers fit your personality and abilities, which leads to appropriate choice of a major, which potentially saves you from being in college longer than necessary causing additional costs and delaying graduation.
We’ll work on developing your resume early in the process, which leads to ample time to capture all pertinent information and activities, which leads to well thought out explanations with quantifiable results, which leads to opportunities to fill in gaps in experiences, education, and leadership, which leads to ease in filling out the Common App when the time comes to apply, which leads to the focus being on the essays and not on the resume and application the summer before your senior year.
We’ll use management platforms and my growing knowledge of universities to organize your college search, which leads to a well sourced college list that fits your personality and desired career interests, which leads to less time spent focusing on schools that are not right for you, which leads to more time to focus on the best fit schools to visit and narrow your list.
And most importantly, in my opinion, the time I will have spent with you over the year or more of our time together will allow me to brainstorm effectively with you for your essays, which leads to essays that reflects who you are through interesting anecdotes that will keep your essay/application readers engaged, which combined with all these other benefits, will present you in the best light to your chosen universities so that hopefully, in the end, you will be the one making the educated choice of where to go.
