What We Do
We make the college application process easy and guide every student towards acceptance.
Do you need help navigating the world of college admissions? Many students do not know the expectations that colleges (especially competitive colleges) have to be admitted. An independent educational consultant will make this process easier and guide your student.
At Gateway Educational Consulting, my objective is to help students make individualized college plans that meet their career and financial goals. Each student has unique qualities. I will work to establish a student-centered admissions process that will highlight the student’s singular personality and goals. I also can help take away the worry and stress that parents feel in helping their students through this process.
Your college admissions journey begins with you in mind. What are your strengths, goals, ambitions, and career aspirations? The free initial consultation will consist of a discussion of these and your college choices. From there, we will make a plan that fits yours and your families' needs.
Together, we will strategize the best application course of action (early action, early decision, regular admissions, rolling admissions), discuss how to approach application questions, and brainstorm essay topics, proof-read, and advise on adequacy of essays.
Essay Development & Review:
One-on-one brainstorm on essay topics and essay development to reveal the student’s true nature to the college. Colleges want to know more about what makes you unique and your story. The personal statement and essay help to tell this story
Proof-read the draft essay to give feedback to make your story better and provide ongoing essay critique, editing, and proof-reading
Help the student capture the admissions officer’s attention by developing the essay to give a glimpse of the student’s life like a trailer to a movie or an introduction to a book
Comprehensive Application Review:
Review your ACT/SAT scores, transcript, volunteer experiences, extra-curricular activities, and jobs or internships you have held
Help the student understand what is important to put on the application and how to avoid redundancy
Review the student’s activities and help them to decide what to highlight on the application
Generate ideas to include important details for the greatest impact
