Ivy League Early Decision: How to Choose Which College to Pick? If you’re a rising senior this year, I’m sure Early Decision and your Ivy League college applications are already on your mind (hint: if not, they should be). A lot of students have questions though around Early Decision and Early Action as a whole, including not knowing which school to pick, not knowing if ED really does make a difference, not knowing if they should go with their absolutely hardest school for ED, or a s

In the United States, summer is time for a much-deserved school break, family vacations, and for many students — college campus tours. In fact, some students visit so many colleges over the summer it’s dizzying. When I was an admission counselor at a university that saw more than 50,000 visitors per year, I often asked groups of students and families at our information sessions how many schools they h

Education in all its forms is one of the greatest contributors to our socialization. From the youngest age that we start school, we are learning about ourselves as much as we are learning the curricula. Children as young as four years old start to realize and actualize their gender (WATERFORD). As they continue to grow and evolve, adults and peers continue to perpetuate the differences amongst the genders and create various particular pathways according to a child’s gender.

AUGUST 8, 2022

When people start talking about college admissions and numbers, a wide range of different ideas start to bubble up in the conversation.

The Thoughtful College Search

AUGUST 11, 2022

I spent last week in Maine visiting a couple of college counseling friends who either live or are spending the summer there. In doing so I got off the college admissions grid as much as I ever do (I am nerdy enough–or neurotic enough–that I check email even when supposedly on vacation). I really wanted to go, but figuring out how to get there was the obstacle.
