Be In The Know

Expert Guidance

As professional consultants, we view each student through objective and experienced eyes in the same way that admissions officers do. Submitting hundreds of applications with each admissions cycle enables us to assess what works (and what doesn’t) to help students showcase their distinctive attributes to each college on their list. We develop close personal relationships with our students throughout the process, which ensures that we really get to know them as individuals. Yet, we are also sufficiently detached so we can differentiate between parents’ rightful pride in their children and qualities that merit accentuating in the college process.

The expertise of the in College Consulting team made what could have been a very stressful process completely stress-free and enjoyable!

Some elite colleges review an application eight minutes or less.

Given the high financial stakes and the highly competitive climate, many families find value in investing in professional, individualized guidance in the college search and application process. We help students present their best selves to admissions committees and show each college how that student could add value to the campus community. Our goal is to help our students produce applications and essays that admissions officers will remember while driving home that night. Families often report that the initial investment in expert college consulting assistance helps ensure that they wisely spend their much larger investment in four years of college, often upwards of $200,000.

Not Your Parents’ College Admissions… or Even Your Older Cousin’s!

Gone are the days when applying to college meant “filling out a few forms” and perhaps “writing a college essay.” Today, most students must simultaneously write numerous essays, manage multiple online application platforms, and strategize about early application options as well as major and school selection.

How We Can Help

Our work includes advising students about high school curriculum and activities and coordinating the college application process from school selection through application submission. We help students use their distinctive voices to create thoughtful, polished essays that showcase their attributes.

Beth is hands down the best college consultant ever! I was so overwhelmed while I was thinking about applying for college and had no idea where to start. After one meeting with Beth, I had a whole plan for how to approach the application process. She is incredibly organized and efficient and is extremely knowledgeable about all the different colleges and what they are looking for in an applicant. She made the college process SO much less stressful for me. I looked forward to our meetings and never dreaded having to write a college essay because Beth made the process enjoyable. She really got to know me, and she helped package me in the best way to be appealing to every college. I am confident that Beth is a huge part as to why I got into all the colleges that I did! She is seriously so amazing, and I am so grateful that I got to work with her. I would 110% recommend her to everyone.

We had a wonderful experience working with Beth during our son Kyle’s college journey. Beth alleviated stress for all of us, especially Kyle. She was a tremendous help in avoiding stress or conflicts that might have occurred if we were helping him with his essay and applications. It helped him think outside of the box and avoided having several opinions being given to him, just his own with guidance from Beth. Also, it helped him figure out for himself what he wanted from a school when he wasn’t sure. We had a better understanding of what Kyle was looking for in finding a college and the comfort of knowing he was sending a strong essay with his applications. Kyle will be a senior at Boston University and loves every minute of it!!! Due to our incredible experience, we have referred Beth to several people and they have expressed such gratitude! Beth is a game changer, a hidden gem. You will be so glad you had her by your side to help in the college process. She will be working with our other 2 sons. Can’t wait!!!!
