College Counseling

How do so many of my students get accepted to the Ivies and other highly selective schools?

Whether your student starts working with me early in high school or when they’re a senior ready to apply, I help with every part of the college planning process to help them get into their dream schools.

My students stand out because I help them find — or create! — fun and innovative ways to build a unique resume based on their genuine interests, even when they come to me late in high school!

I also advise on class selection, standardized testing, and helping students find colleges that are right for them and making a college list.

Of course, I also advise on every part of the application process, including essays, the activity list and additional information section (more important than you think!), interviews, and helping students find and apply for scholarships.

  • With my guidance, student have pursued the kind of stand-out activities that have helped them get accepted to the most selective colleges, including:
    • Creating and hosting radio shows broadcast around the world
    • Creating independent studies that allowed them to become the kind of “specialist” that colleges love!
    • Publishing academic papers
    • Publishing non-fiction and creative writing in international journals
    • Creating podcasts with over 100,000 views
    • Publishing their art work in international journals
    • Creating blogs with international contributors
    • Creating international competitions
    • Creating journals in subjects ranging from philosophy to public policy with contributors from around the world
    • Creating and leading international discussion groups 
    • Creating national panel discussions
