Who am I and why am I writing this blog?

On the 1st of Jan, when everyone was toasting Happy New Year, we looked something like this:

  • We are definitely not Tina Fey though we’ve seen that exhausted look in the mirror in the week after Christmas.
  • We do have a certain preference for teal colored files versus the orange (yay CollegeCore colors!)
  • While college admissions officers all across the world are delving into the applications submitted by students like you on New Years’ Day, this is us, finally resurfacing for a breath of fresh air, ready for the New Year.

We are private Admissions Counselors and this blog is a collection of advice, wisdom, rants and quips to entertain and hopefully help.

So good luck with your applications, applicants and aspirants.

Godspeed!
