Every Student’s Path to College is as Unique as They Are

Betsy works with high school students and their families during the college search and selection process. Her approach is warm and caring, and at the same time, highly strategic and tactical. She has guided students from all backgrounds—from applicants seeking the most selective institutions, to students with unique situations, including those considering specialized majors, D3 athletes, and students with non-traditional or interrupted timelines. Betsy offers each client a clear path and informed guidance to effect a successful transition to college.

“Your clients are extremely lucky to have you there to guide them through what could be an incredibly stressful process. 

One of your many strengths is identifying reach, target, and likely schools based on each student’s academic profile and personality. We appreciate the incredible amount of work that goes into that process - getting to really know a student, and helping the student learn about themselves. Best of luck with your new kids! I have no doubt they will be feeling as grateful as we are come this time next year.”
