Each student receives an essay writing package with writing requirements based on their school. In addition, I prepare the student on how to negotiate successful college visits, tours, and interviews.

Transfer Application Counseling
For the student who is already in college, but who seeks to transfer to another college or university, or from a community (junior) college to a 4-year college or university, I offer a condensed version of the services. Different universities have individual admission requirements for transfer students. Normally this involves a more targeted strategy (of colleges, programs, and deadlines), whose hurdles we can help the student negotiate.
Athletic Supplement Counseling
For the student-athlete who would like to play an NCAA sport in college, we offer a supplemental service. Getting recruited to play sports in college at the Division 1, Division 2 or Division 3 levels adds an additional challenge to the application process. I help students negotiate the process of getting seen and pursued by college coaches, including timelines, travel teams, prospect camps, athletic questionnaires, scouting reports, video production, marketing letters, on-campus athletic visits/interviews, sports recruitment services, NCAA eligibility/regulations, and college/high school coach communications.
International Application Counseling
The top U.S. universities have made a commitment to enroll not only American students, but the best minds from around the world. But for students and families applying to American universities from abroad, the U.S. college applications process can seem confusing and overwhelming. For International Students, I offer a full range of services. Beyond this, I provide a customized and personalized plan tailored to each individual international applicant.
Graduate Applications
I have worked with applicants to professional schools, including law school. I will help you get the best possible recommendations, complete test prep efficiently, and refine your personal statement.
Financial Aid & College Scholarship
I provide technical advice on forms and scholarship opportunities.
