"Rob was the secret weapon in our daughter's application process. He knew exactly which schools were realistic reaches and which were true fits — and his essay coaching turned a good personal statement into a great one. She got into her first-choice school."
Our counseling program serves students in grades 9–12 at any stage of the admissions journey. Younger students benefit most from early strategic planning — building a strong extracurricular profile and understanding what selective colleges look for. Juniors and seniors benefit from focused, hands-on application support during the critical prep and submission season.
Students with IEPs or special needs receive additional expertise from Rob, who has extensive experience navigating accommodation disclosures and presenting students' full stories to admissions officers.
The earlier the better. Freshman and sophomore year allows time to build a strong academic and extracurricular profile strategically. That said, we work with students at all stages — even seniors mid-application — and can make a significant impact at any point in the process.
If you're unsure, start with the Strategic Consultation. It's a low-commitment way to get clarity on your student's profile and a clear roadmap — and many families upgrade to a session package after that first meeting. If your student is a junior or senior with an active application timeline, the 5-session or 10-session package is likely the right fit.
Sessions can be conducted in person at our Mamaroneck office or remotely via video — whichever your family prefers. Many families mix both formats depending on their schedule.
Yes. Rob has extensive experience with students with IEPs and special needs. He understands how to position students authentically and strategically, including decisions around accommodation disclosure and identifying colleges with strong support programs.
Yes. Additional sessions can be added at any point. Many families enrolled in the 5-session package choose to extend into the 10-session level as the application season intensifies.
School counselors typically manage very large caseloads and have limited time per student. Rob works with a much smaller group of students, enabling truly personalized attention and deep familiarity with each student's full story. His direct experience with admissions representatives at hundreds of colleges also means his school list and strategy recommendations are grounded in current, first-hand knowledge.
