Picking the Right School
which is the right school for my child?
There really is a school for everyone! By getting to know each student and family, Marla personalizes the process according the applicants’ ambitions, strengths and needs. Through questions, extensive conversations and assessments, I get to know quite a bit about each student and develop a list of criteria specific to each student.

From there, we draw up a list of potential schools for the student to consider. We balance the list of schools to include target schools as well as reaches and schools likely to offer admission. Each school is chosen with good fit in mind.
Throughout the entire process, my method involves breaking down steps to manageable tasks to reduce overwhelm and manage deadlines. As I am professionally trained personal life coach, I support students and families with positive messages that are both realistic and constructive.
While the college consulting process primarily addresses the immediate concerns of high school juniors and seniors, I welcome freshman and sophomores clients who can benefit from guidance early in their high school careers.
