All of our counselors are trained in SEL (Social & Emotional Learning) and are recent graduates of Ivy League schools and other elite institutions including Stanford University and NYU. We pride ourselves on our ability to match each student with the perfect counselor based on the counselor’s expertise, shared interests, and background. Knowing that their counselors recently succeeded in the college admissions process gives our students confidence that we understand the current landscape and can help them focus on what really matters.
