I was delighted to hear that a recent research study on high achieving seniors in the U.S. showed that fully 26% report having used an IEC (independent educational consultant) in their college search and application process. With high school counselors frequently managing impossibly high caseloads and the increasingly positive publicity that credentialed IECs are receiving nationwide, that number will likely climb even higher in the near future. Check out the IECA (Independent Educational Consultants Association) website for the full story and extensive information on locating and evaluating consultants: www.educationalconsulting.org
I was so fortunate discover that my extensive background in college teaching and administration was highly relevant to this field four years ago when I decided to launch Pinnacle Education Consulting. I truly love what I do and greatly enjoy partnering with Colorado students and families on college planning.
I’m also quite proud of my clients and their achievements. Here are some of the institutions where recent clients have been accepted:
- Colorado State University
- Cornell University
- Gonzaga University
- Louisiana State University
- Montana State University
- Northwestern University
- University of Notre Dame
- Santa Clara University
- Swarthmore College
- University of British Columbia
- University of Chicago
- University of Colorado
- University of Denver
- University of Montana
- University of Oregon
- University of Texas
- University of Virginia
- Villanova University
- Washington University St. Louis
Looking forward to getting my “26% Ask Me” Button at the IECA conference this May in Philadelphia!
