We help students take charge of their high school career, and craft their strongest possible applications to college
After a decade of experience in admissions at Yale, I've evaluated thousands of applications, and conducted hundreds of interviews.
I also spent five years counseling for an international college counseling company, working with families all across the country.
For high school students - I'll help you explore and communicate what makes you, YOU, to present your strongest possible case to colleges.
And parents - I've been where you are, and I know what you're going through. I look forward to working with your family soon.
"My family enjoyed working with Judy. She brings a ton of experience, resources, energy, and the million dollar smile/cheer. She worked very closely with my son on regular cadence. During the final 3-4 months of the application process, she kept my son on track. We cannot even imagine going through this process on our own"
Brown University
"Judy was an expert guide and ally during this huge self-discovery process! Her knowledge was invaluable and her positive coaching style was comforting, as she taught our daughter how to think about & navigate the admissions process. Working with a college counselor definitely gave us more peace of mind during this process.
Williams College
"Working with Judy was amazing. She helped provide me with a strong foundation as I took on the task of applying to college - from creating a solid list, to brainstorming essays, and making sure all deadlines were met. The process was no doubt much less intimidating with a counselor by my side.
Boston College
"I've been absolutely abusing my Makerspace privileges, just finished a grueling architecture class, and have settled into a nourishing social network all within the past two years. I couldn't think of a better life. Thank you again for the quality of your guidance. I can only imagine how many other kids' lives that you have been able to (and will continue to) change."
Columbia University
"Judy gave our son confidence as he wrote his essays and filled out his applications, and as he sorted through the various schools to make his application choices. We are convinced that he was a significantly better applicant for the help that Judy provided him. Most importantly, we know that he did the best he could in the admissions process."
Emory University
"It was awesome to have Judy as counselor for our son. She guided our son through the application process, encouraged him to do his best in school, and kept track of the results. She always provided us with relevant information so we could make the right decisions, in some cases going the extra mile of calling colleges to help answer our questions."
