I don’t live in Arizona. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely! We can do everything we need to do via email, Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, etc. If you are in the area and would like to meet in person, I am happy to do that as well.
Can you guarantee that I’ll get into my top choice school?
No. There are many factors in evaluating applications for admissions that are out of your control (and mine). However, I can help you put your best foot forward to schools that are a good fit for you and meet your needs, and help make the overall process as smooth as possible. (If anyone guarantees you admission to a certain school, don’t believe them!!)
How much does it cost to work with you?
Your first 30-minute consultation is absolutely free as we decide if we’re a good fit for each other. Just click the “contact” link above and fill out the form to get started. Depending on what you need in your college search, I offer my services in packages, or at an hourly rate.
Why should I work with an IEC (Independent Educational Consultant)?
Choosing a college is often the first major decision in a student’s life and the second largest financial investment (after a house). Finding the right college can enrich a student’s life and impact his or her future, but often students and parents have no idea where to even start looking and can be overwhelmed by the process, especially for those interested in becoming music majors in college.
Oftentimes, parents and students do not have the time to read and research all of the college options (there are over 2,600 four-year colleges in the U.S.).
IECs can help reduce stress as parents and students know that they won’t be “missing something” in the application process. Students will also learn how to showcase their strengths and advocate for themselves to increase their chances of admission.
IECs can help with finding scholarships and know which schools offer need- and merit-based financial aid.
An IEC keeps up with admission trends by attending conferences, visiting colleges, and networking with admissions officers.
We will also spend much more time getting to know you and your family, your goals, and what you’re looking for in a college. Many school counselors are working with hundreds of students at once, so you’ll get more one-on-one attention from an IEC.
