On the Road Again! University of San Francisco

On the Road Again! University of San Francisco – Location, location, location! Full disclosure – I love San Francisco! There are such charming neighborhoods and iconic landmarks. Of course, like anywhere, it is not perfect, but the University of San Francisco is located in an area that is about as perfect as it gets. On a hill overlooking the city and the San Francisco Bay, this compact and beautiful campus is one to see. With four bus stops on [...]

Back on the College Tour Trail!

It has been more than 18 months since my last college tour. Like many people, I had flights booked but then the pandemic hit the US and that university tour to Wales just didn’t happen (but it is rescheduled, thankfully!). But, I am back on the college tour trail with my first stop being Sweet Briar College in Virginia. What a gem of a school! Here are some of the highlights of my trip (and by the way, all students, [...]

The Dreaded Personal Statement – Part Two

I must admit that it is fun to be quoted as an expert. But, of course, it is even more satisfying when the advice is taken. It is that time of year when high school seniors are (hopefully) putting the final touches on their Common App personal statements. Just the words "personal statement" engender fear in the typical student. It is precisely the personal nature of the writing that is so difficult. After all, how many of us at 17, [...]

I never thought I would say, “I am in Cosmo!”

I read a lot of articles regarding college admissions. Usually these are in relatively scholarly publications. But, especially now, we all need a little fun. I love this article in Cosmo. It contains great advice on what would have been helpful to know before college and, of course, I love being quoted. My husband has started to tell anyone who will listen that his wife is in Cosmo! #college #university #admissions #CommunityCollege #freshman #HighSchool #Finances

Let's face it. The past few months have not been easy and, yes, that is an understatement. With social isolation and uncertainty, fear and anxiety have reared their ugly heads.

Can’t Visit Campus in the Days of Social Distancing? Don’t panic

In this environment of unprecedented college closures, so many people are affected. College seniors will miss graduation and faculty are scrambling to teach online.

High school juniors are considering what colleges to apply to and planned on their Spring breaks to make visits. Read on to find out what students can do [...]
