Jane is the best! After working with another college advisor who guided us through a one-size-fits-all program, and then trying to navigate the process ourselves, we reached out to Jane feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure of our next steps. From her very first email response, I knew she was exactly who we needed to help us navigate the college application process and everything that came along with it. Our first virtual meeting confirmed that we were in good hands. What immediately stood out was how genuinely interested Jane was in getting to know our son. She listened to us, spoke directly to him, asked thoughtful questions, and was curious and excited about his interests, experiences, and goals. She wanted to hear his story. She recognized connections and strengths that we hadn't necessarily seen ourselves and offered suggestions for how he could bring those experiences into his personal statement and applications. Jane was patient, thorough, and encouraging. She walked through the Common App line by line with our son and willingly reviewed and revisited his activities, personal statement, and supplemental essays as many times as needed until everything was polished and reflected who he was. Her calm approach gave my son clarity, confidence, and intention, rather than simply checking boxes. In the end, she gave him ownership of the process and guided him to where his Common App finally felt authentic. Jane also brought an impressive depth of knowledge and both professional and personal experience with the colleges my son was considering (which stretched up and down the east coast). And once my son started receiving acceptances, Jane was there to help us evaluate and expertly think through the final decision. Our son is now happily attending an out-of-state university that is a perfect fit for his major, interests and preferences, and we are ever so grateful that we found Jane. We only wish we had looked for her sooner! We would recommend Jane to any family navigating the college admissions process.

About My College Advocate, LLC/Former Admission Officer
My College Advocate offers experienced, personalized college admissions counseling focused on readiness and results. With over a decade in the field, I help students identify their best-fit colleges while building confidence, self-advocacy, productivity, and a sense of personal success. I’ve worked on both sides of the desk—as an admission officer at a small liberal arts college and as a school-based college counselor at a highly selective boarding school. This unique combination of experience gives me insight into what colleges are looking for and how to help students present their strongest, most authentic applications in today’s highly competitive landscape. If you’re ready to navigate the college process with clarity and support, I’d be honored to work with your family.
