I try to work with students to look at their goals, academic history, SAT or GRE scores, extracurricular activities, etc.... I then try to help these students figure out where they stand in order to best achieve their goals. At times, I am able to suggest specific schools a student may be interested in. I am unable to tell students whether or not they will obtain admission to a specific college, however, I am able to provide general guidance. While I will provide general college / graduate school essay topic advice, I will not provide any editing assistance.

Preparation for LSAT, GRE, MCAT, GMAT. Personal statements, letters of recommendation, graduate application process, practice tests. No Questions about Undergrad Admissions Please (unless you are planning to go to law, business, medical or grad school eventually). Note that I change private questions to public so they are available to others. If you have something that is truly private, let me know.

If I wrote on [a given topic], would that help or hurt me? 2.) Should I include a portfolio of music in an application? How should I do it? 3.) Does applying for financial aid affect my chances of admission? 4.) Should I get a recommendation from a sophomore year teacher as opposed to a junior year teacher? Why? 5.) How much does the SAT/ACT matter in the admissions process at [a given school]? 6.) What are my chances at [a given school]?
