Helping you find colleges that fit
Comprehensive Advising
You’ve heard how much college admissions has changed in the past few years. Falling admissions rates, rising tuition costs, and opaque institutional priorities. You might find yourself searching for that emergency chocolate you stashed away.
The truth is lots of savvy parents get help with college admissions. Just like they hire a personal trainer, tax accountant, or realtor for specialized expertise.
I’m an advisor who works for you, not a college or high school. I help students articulate their goals, identify what is important to them, and find colleges that could be good matches. Then I help them understand how to write college applications that present who they really are to colleges.
You worry that crucial details will affect your kid's future

About Lisa
I'm Lisa Rielage. As an Independent Educational Consultant, I work directly with high school students and their families to help them identify colleges that are good fits for them.
Together, we consider their academic goals and the college atmosphere they want, but also keep in mind the family budget and college admissions selectivity.
As senior year approaches, I'm right there offering guidance on college application and essays.
