The college admissions landscape has changed. Let an expert help.

Affordable NYC college application help, counselor and consultant.
Jessica Michaels, Ed.M., Columbia University ‘05

As a seasoned director of college programming across high schools in three different states, former Wall Street financial counselor, and even former licensed therapist, I know that COVID-19 continues to affect students both now and in planning for the future – in many ways.

Not only does the college application process continue to alter a bit each year, but COVID-19 has caused most colleges to change the admissions policies they’ve had in place for decades with the 2020-21 admissions cycle; and this impact will continue to be felt for years to come.

Now, even more than before, college essays, resumes, and letters of recommendation will play major roles in determining admission. This part of the application is where many students struggle to tell their stories

Bring in the expert – virtually or safely in-person.
