AdmissionWise Advantages
1. Insider knowledge of how undergraduate admission works at selective colleges and universities — a former Stanford Associate Director of Admissions with six years of experience evaluating thousands of applications for undergraduate admission to the University.
2. An admission pro with experience in both the college and high school settings — I understand the internal dynamics of a professional team of admission directors. At the same time, my work as Associate Director of College Counseling at an independent high school gave me insight into subtle differences between colleges in how they admit students. A compelling essay for one college may not be right for another.
3. A background in teaching and advising undergraduates at two world-class universities — I designed and taught undergraduate courses in the Political Science and Sociology Departments at Stanford and the University of Michigan respectively, as well as served as an academic advisor to Stanford undergrads as they selected courses and settled on their majors.
4. Breadth and depth of knowledge of contemporary issues in secondary education — I have visited hundreds of American high schools, and know when to advise you to reach beyond the confines of your high school environment for opportunities. I help you calibrate how and when to challenge yourself without taking on too much.
5. A commitment to ethical college consulting — I do not leverage the anxiety that selective college admissions engenders to make false claims about my ability to “get you in.” Few selective colleges allow admissions officers to make unilateral decisions. My approach is to help you find and articulate what is special and compelling about you.
