Personalized Solutions
MDR College Solutions provides tailored guidance to help clients navigate the college admissions process with confidence and ease. Together, we focus on students’ unique strengths and aspirations, building a balanced list of best-fit colleges and crafting a compelling application package that maximizes the chance for success.
College Advising
First, we dive into goals for the student's college experience and build a balanced college list, including likely, target, and reach schools. Every factor will be thoughtfully considered–from majors and programs to school location, size, athletics, community values, and more.
Academic & Extracurricular Planning
I aim to ensure that my clients reach their academic potential while developing character, leadership, and life skills through meaningful extracurricular activities. This holistic approach builds a well-rounded profile that stands out on college applications.
Career Exploration Guidance
It’s okay not to know exactly what career to pursue yet. By exploring clients’ strengths and interests and aligning them with career possibilities, we set the foundation for informed, exciting next steps.
Resume & Essay Development
The college resume and essay are essential pieces of the college application, revealing who students are beyond the numbers. I guide my clients in crafting compelling, polished college essays that capture their story and highlight their potential impact on their future campus community.
College Application Support
The college application process can feel overwhelming. I help navigate all of the complexities—from SAT test score strategies and submission to the self-reported academic record (SRAR)—allowing my clients to apply confidently to their colleges of choice, without unnecessary stress.
Financial Aid Strategy &
Scholarship Opportunities
When applications are submitted, it’s time to tackle scholarships and financial aid. With my guidance, clients stay on track through additional essays and deadlines, filling out the FAFSA, and finding financial opportunities to make college more affordable and accessible.
