As admissions professionals with over 15 years of experience working for some of the nation's most selective colleges and scholarship programs, we offer support throughout the college search and application process.

Our consulting is directly informed by what's going on in college admissions offices today. We provide guidance in navigating the extremely competitive reality of the current admissions landscape, and we work with students and families to find their best college matches.

Our approach is holistic. We are dedicated to understanding each student as more than just an array of numbers. We find success in crafting strategies that let admission officers appreciate the gifts of our students as much as we do.

Whether you're compiling a college-tour list for a talented athlete, struggling with essay drafts, wondering what goes in an arts portfolio, exploring U.S. colleges as an international student, or looking for more structured and individualized advising than school counselors can provide—wherever you are in your college admissions journey, we have experience across the field, and we'd love to get to know you.
