Helping You Every Step of the Way

NorCal College Advising was created to bring peace of mind to students and their families.

Finding the Right Fit

Picture
​When a college is 'right' for a student, you can just feel it. Through assessments and conversations with both the student and parents, an initial list of colleges is created. I draw upon extensive, first-hand knowledge of hundreds of colleges in every area of the country.  The list expands and contracts until a 'final' list is ready for the application process to begin.

    Establishing a Plan

Together, we establish a timeline for completing all aspects of the application process. Essays, exams, tours, interviews, applications, resumes, activities lists, college and application accounts - all elements are planned and most are completed prior to the beginning of the busy senior year, keeping stress at a minimum.

Paying Close Attention to Detail

Picture
Meeting deadlines, demonstrating interest, proofreading carefully, researching specific programs, understanding campus culture, highlighting strengths, making sure all parts of the application tell a compelling story, strategizing, deciphering total cost of attendance - these are only a few of the areas in which NorCal College Advising has you covered.
