About admission2college
I started admission2college in 2012 to provide parents and students with honest, clear information to make a confident decision about the best college for their student.
My purpose is to guide both of you through the maze of facts and figures that don’t always seem helpful or inspiring, and to highlight that finding the perfect fit in today’s college search is no longer only about where they get in. It's about your student being career-ready when they get out. It’s about finding the school that prepares them to graduate ready for the workforce.
In one-on-one meetings, whether in person or on Zoom or Google Meet, we get to know each other, and I understand the student’s strengths, interests, and values, as well as their academic interests, activities, and goals. Working with your student, we create custom college lists, provide focused feedback on applications, and help students tell their authentic stories in their essays. I want to make sure you and your student feel supported throughout the process.
About Michael
I started my career in college admissions as an admissions counselor, visiting college fairs and meeting students and parents on campus. Over time, I led admissions and enrollment teams at colleges in Colorado, California, Minnesota, and Maine. I created recruitment plans, established admissions programs, built financial aid models, and helped schools reach enrollment and tuition goals.
I have reviewed applications for selective private universities and public university honors programs. I have advised on admissions policies nationwide and managed state financial aid programs. I have viewed higher education through admissions offices, faculty meetings, boardrooms, and legislative briefings, and have served on the Chancellor’s and President’s cabinets.
My background provides an understanding and insider insights into college admissions that few others can offer.
