Helping Students


get into their dream colleges.


Is your student aiming for the most
selective colleges?

For the past decade Susan Goodkin — a Rhodes Scholar with degrees from Harvard College, Harvard Law School and Oxford University — has been helping students around the world get accepted to their dream schools. 

 Susan’s students have an extraordinary 60% acceptance rate to the Ivies, Stanford and MIT – nearly ten times the average!

Susan’s students are also highly successful in admissions at Duke, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Amherst, U. Chicago, U.Michigan, Rice, Tufts, Pomona, Berkeley, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, and many more.

Whether students come as freshmen or seniors, Susan helps them build on their genuine interests – and think big! – to create a resume that helps them stand out at the top colleges.

She also advises on curriculum, testing, and college lists, as well as guiding students on all aspects of the application, including the personal statement, activity lists, and supplemental essays, to ensure they create their strongest applications.

Susan not only helps students vastly improve their admissions odds, but she is equally proud that she helps them grow as scholars, contributors to their community, and people.

“What I loved about working with you included your eye for editing and shaping essays, and having the student’s voice shine through.  And, mostly, you care deeply about each one of your students.  It was always reassuring to know that there was someone else up in the middle of the night worrying with me, so to speak!  That makes a huge difference.”
