College Admissions Consulting

At Darien Academic Advisors, we help students to develop a list of potential colleges where they will thrive.  We help them to put their “best foot forward” through the admissions process and in their essays, personal statements, and interviews.

We adhere to the ethical guidelines of IECA, an established consultants’ organization.  We don’t write essays for students.  We don’t pretend to have insider connections or knowledge which will push your student to the head of the pack.  Instead, we offer one-on-one guidance, support, and advice on all aspects of the college admissions process.

We work with students from all ranges of the education achievement spectrum.  Bright students who aspire to Ivy League and other highly selective colleges, use our help to round out their list with less selective, but top quality colleges, and to polish their applications.  We also have a special strength in working with students who are not enthused about the college admissions process or aren’t sure where they want to go.  We have great results with “solid B” students, as well as those who struggle to maintain C’s.    We work successfully with students from all over the world, including Europe, China, Korea, and South America.
