Certified Educational Planner, Member IECA/SSATB

“Our role is to serve students and families as an experienced, compassionate educational resource. I believe we can add enormous value and stability to what is often a daunting and complex exercise. You can rely on us for clear, objective advice and guidance, based on a thorough understanding of your educational needs and aspirations.”

Patrick Finn
College Advisory Services

“My many years in Admissions have taught me there is nothing more important than providing students with all of the qualitative information necessary for them to reach a decision to enroll in the best "fit" possible. It is my goal to help each student reach that decision on their own, but with support and guidance throughout the process. As with most important decisions in life, it is important to have the assistance of a professional to make that decision a good one. I have years of experience working as an advisor and coach and look forward to helping the students I work with have a positive college search and most importantly, a rewarding college experience.”

Alan Haas
College and Graduate School Advisory Services
Certified Educational Planner
President, Educational Futures

“Our approach is to empower students to make better decisions throughout the remaining years of secondary school. This involves a continuous dialogue about grade goals, time management and self-understanding. Ideally, the student should make his/her own decision about post-secondary school plans. Our role is to position them for good choices, an appropriate match and a successful and happy college experience.”

Melinda L. Irwin, Ph.D., M.P.H.
College and Graduate School Advisory Services

“My goal is to give unbiased college and graduate school educational advice and make recommendations based upon the student’s needs and abilities. Through personalized attention, I work with the student to develop and refine a list of colleges or graduate schools with the appropriate intellectual, extracurricular and social fit; critique essays; beat deadlines; make college contacts; and prepare for campus visits and interviews. My job is also to provide objective advice at decision time, which can be an overwhelming period in the whole process.”

Bobbi Krein
College Advisory Services

“Navigating the complex college search and application process can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for students and parents alike, but it can also be very rewarding. Together with families, I develop a thorough, organized, and student-centered plan for all facets of the process, helping each student identify and pursue post secondary school options that best meet his or her individual aspirations, abilities, interests, and needs.”

Audrey N. Ludemann, M.S.Ed.
Director, Independent Day and Boarding School Advising

“My job as an educational consultant is to assess needs and expectations, provide personalized, comprehensive, balanced counsel and facilitate the process as students and families consider the next step in education. My goal is to target the most appropriate schools for each individual, bring rationale to the process and facilitate a positive outcome. A school that is the right educational and social fit will provide an environment that is both challenging and supportive, offering an experience that sets the stage for future success.”

Jeremy D. McGeorge
Director, Special Needs Services

“The educational landscape has shifted quite significantly in the past 20 years. Our youth are faced with a multitude of opportunities to make choices(good and bad) that will have significant impact on the pathways of their future. Often at these crossroads, even the best paved paths can end up in destinations that are unanticipated. My role is to provide guidance and support to families and children as they arrive in this complex and challenging venue. You can be assured you will be met with objective, well balanced, and comprehensive advice that will provide orientation and a clear mission to guide your family throughout the transformative and enlightening process.”

Holly McGlennon Treat, M.Ed.
Director, Boarding School Advisory Services

“With so many options to choose from, embarking on the secondary school search can be an overwhelming experience. My broad knowledge of schools and longstanding relationships with admission directors can assist families in the school search and application process – and join each student with the educational environment that best develops his or her academic, social and emotional potential.”

Nuria O. Rubert
College Advisory Services

“For the college admission process to be truly successful, it takes cohesive teamwork among key players: student, parents, and consultant. Through open and honest communication, I help organize and prioritize the college admission goals of the 'team' while facilitating the ideal match for the student. Along with my extensive experience as an educator and advisor, I bring personal and professional knowledge of the college sports recruiting process for student athletes.”

Lisa S. Schwartz
Director of Operations

“Within today’s compressed lifestyles, students and their parents face a broader range of educational options than ever before. As their advocate and advisor, we try to take that burden off their shoulders, so that they can quickly focus only on choices that make sense for them – and make the most appropriate decision.”
