Over the years, I have guided my own three children through the college application process. Although all three chose to attend Harvard College, each journey was different and unique, as each had different talents and goals for their own education.
I have also loved guiding other students through the process. My services range from starting to think through students' educational goals early on in high school, formulating resumes, discussing strategies for writing effective application essays, helping to edit personal statements, navigating forms and due dates, exploring scholarship opportunities... all the way to celebrating their acceptances senior year! A few times it has even been my joy to teach a young student to read at 4 years old and then assist them in applying to college 14 years later!
Throughout, the focus is not on admittance to a specific school but on ensuring that students have well-developed goals for their education and can best represent these goals and their unique talents to the schools to which they apply.
