We focus on decreasing stress rather than capitalizing on it as we educate, counsel and help manage the college admission process in partnership with the fantastic families we are fortunate to work with. Our belief is that by giving students knowledge, personal advice, much needed perspective and structure, they are more likely to end up at a college that is transformational.

What do our counselors do?

Each counselor works with 30-50 students per graduating class, with some families coming on board in freshman year and others late in junior year. We counsel on everything related to college admissions including: course selection, summer program options, college list development, testing schedules, application completion, and essay topic choice and writing. We are ethical in our work and put the student's best interests above all else. And we like to have fun at the same time.

Who are we looking for?

If you have experience with college admissions either as a high school based college counselor or college admissions officer we highly encourage you to apply. A background in career counseling is a plus. The ability to connect with students and parents in a confident, calming manner is a must. Strong essay editing skills are also required.
