College Admissions Consulting
No two students will have the same admissions journey, so I offer various service options summarized provided below. At your free consultation call, I can get to know your unique needs and will provide additional, more detailed information on the services and fees. All services are offered virtually via Zoom. To ensure each student receives personalized attention and support, I limit the number of students I work with each year.
