About Admissions Counseling
There is far more to getting into the school of your choice than simply
performing well on a standardized test (and that part of it really is simple).
Schools today look at more than just G.P.A. and test scores. Whether applying to
college, law school, business school, or graduate school, the total package
needs to be polished so that you stand out.
Even students applying to private middle schools and high schools will need more
than just the right numbers.
Your essay is your opportunity to stand out to the admissions committee. Whether
you need significant assistance editing, or just a bit of inspiration, we can
help you create a finished work to help bolster your petition for admission.
We'll help
you through every stage of the admissions process, from identifying potential
schools to strategizing acceptances in the event you are waitlisted elsewhere.
While we are not full-time admissions consultants, most of our families find
that we can serve their basic needs. For more in-depth admissions consulting we
can point you in the direction of local professionals who can help.
Private / Independent School Admissions
Whether your child seeks admission to a private day school in
the Tri-State region or to an elite boarding school further from home, Test Your
Best can help. As an alumnus of The Buckley School and The Dalton School in New York and of Milton
Academy in Milton, MA, I have firsthand knowledge of what it takes to gain
admission to the finest private schools. My tutors and I have
helped students earn spots at a multitude of schools, including boarding schools
like Choate and Philips Exeter Academy in New
Hampshire, and day schools like Greens Farms Academy and St. Luke’s School here in our backyard.
The application process for middle schools and high schools can be overwhelming,
and the competition is fierce. Let Test Your Best provide the edge your child deserves.
College Admissions
High school students and their parents often find themselves
in a difficult spot at the end of Junior year because they haven’t been provided
with the information they needed early enough to properly plan. Starting
Freshman year, the SAT II should be discussed and considered. Also,
extra-curricular activities should start to appear on a student’s resume during
Freshman year. We'll walk students and parents through everything they need to
know and help you develop a comprehensive yet flexible plane that will make
Senior year less stressful and more productive.
We often work hand-in-hand with professionals who specialize
only in college admissions consulting, so whether you need just a little help or
a lot, we can make it work for you!

of your choice.
