Some questions I am frequently asked

Why do I need a college counselor? Can I do this on my own?

Of course, you can. However, having a little guidance can really go a long way. Think of me as your sounding board and a person you can always go to whenever you have a query. Going alone is always an option. With me along, it becomes a lot easier to navigate.

I don’t even know you and we will work online. Can I trust you?

That’s a very valid question! My students and the parents with whom I have worked speak on my behalf. I can assure you that I will do my very best to assist you.

Can you assure me that my child will get into an ivy league college?

No one can guarantee that, but I can assure you to work with your child to find the right fit where he/she will be happy, confident and successful.

Do you only work with international students?

While I specialize in assisting international students, I work with all students who are interested regardless of their current residence.
