About Us

The business of college admissions often uses fear as a marketing tactic. In an effort to justify their services, independent counselors and essay editing companies tend to emphasize the increasing improbability of gaining admission into a highly selective institution. It’s harder than ever to get into a good college, they will tell you. Only we can help you stand out!

In truth, almost all students are capable of gaining admission into a “dream school” that meets their academic, social, and financial needs. 

I founded Capital College Planning to help students find, prepare for, and get into these schools. More specifically, I teach students (and their families):

  • The nitty-gritty details of how colleges make admissions decisions

  • How to develop the habits and routines that will prepare them college

  • How to identify the majors and careers that fit their interests and aptitudes

  • How to build a list of “dream schools”

  • The essential steps for completing a strong application 

  • Advice for thriving as an undergraduate student

I am not interested in helping anyone cheat the system. I am, however, interested in providing straightforward information and advice that will demystify the admissions process and make it feel less overwhelming. Applying to college is a major, time-consuming milestone—but that doesn’t mean it has to be a stressful one.
