Your child’s preparation and hard work pave the way for admission offers from colleges that are a great fit. Meet Sally Smith
I’m an independent educational consultant who provides my clients with highly tailored college admission counseling. The path to college has never more competitive or confusing, but it is also an exciting journey that is ripe with possibilities. My goal is to help every family find their child’s college “home,” the place where their student will thrive as an engaged young adult following their passions.
Along the way, I provide families with an understanding of the college selection, application, and decision process. I work with students to uncover the stories that will fuel their college admission essays. I help parents decipher the FAFSA and CSS Profile, and navigate the complex universe of college financial aid. I’m a partner every step of the way, from strengthening the student’s applicant profile via high school course selection and extracurricular choices, to planning a smooth transition as a freshman in your chosen college.
My college counseling clients have found their college homes at a variety of private and public institutions, including Harvard, Wellesley, University of California campuses, and out-of-state community colleges. While I cannot guarantee acceptance to a particular university, I will work diligently to maximize your child’s chances of admission to colleges where they will bloom. I welcome the opportunity to partner with your family throughout this exciting journey.
