Helping students get into the right college

I take a student-focused approach to ensure that each student finds the right college for them, academically, socially and financially. I will help your child showcase their skills and talents and will be a constant supporter throughout the college application process.

As a college counselor and parent, I know that finding and gaining admittance to college can be a daunting and confusing task.  It has been my honor and pleasure to help hundreds of students through the process of identifying what they want in a college and to successfully navigate the application process.  I hope that I can do the same for your family.

Develop College List

There are lots of amazing colleges and I help each student and their family build a strong list of potential colleges through focused research and discussion.

Application Support

I will walk each student and family through every step of the application process: preparing for interviews and college visits, highlighting accomplishments and skills, artistic and athletic supplements if relevant, managing financial aid and scholarship applications and addressing other issues as they arise.

Essay Advice and Editing

We will work together through in-person meetings and online editing to create strong, persuasive essays tailored to each college that showcase each applicant’s strengths and experiences.

Robin has in-depth knowledge of colleges that is incredibly useful and she is able to offer analytical and insightful judgement about each student’s fit with the schools they are considering.  My daughter and I are convinced that Robin’s advice and guidance helped her get into her first choice college.
