Philosophy
Educational consultants aren’t just for the wealthy, elite, or Ivy-seeking students. With approximately 30% of college students dropping out before their sophomore year - taking with them an average debt of $28,000 for public universities or $60,000 for private - working to find a successful path can mean a lot of savings. This unique path is not just following the path of a parent or a friend or your favorite sports team (though these paths may work for some). Debt without a degree is just throwing away money and time. And your path is not necessarily the same as everyone else’s.
Together we can spend time discussing your life goals and your interests to find an idea of some career paths that feel solid. This helps match your career interests with schools that excel in those areas. Then we’ll take the time to explore and research various institutions, including some you’ve never heard of, to find places that fit academically, socially, and financially. These are schools where you’ll have a better chance to find your people and thrive. And finally we’ll work to put together a college essay and application that give schools a full picture of who you are. Let’s work together to discover your unique path - matching interests, career possibilities, and colleges - to create the best future version of you!
