Frequently Asked Questions

(and my answers)

  • At Brookhaven College Advisors (BCA), we take a personalized, data-driven, and financially strategic approach to college advising. While strong grades and test scores matter, top universities seek students who bring unique passions, leadership, and meaningful contributions to their communities. Schools like Harvard receive thousands of applications from academically excellent students—what sets an applicant apart is how they engage with their interests and make an impact.

    Here’s how we help students stand out:

    ✔ Explore their passions through meaningful extracurriculars and independent projects.
    ✔ Develop leadership skills by taking initiative in their schools and communities.
    ✔ Build a well-balanced college list that aligns with academic, social, and financial factors.
    ✔ Make informed financial decisions by identifying merit- and need-based aid opportunities.

    With hundreds of university visits across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Spain, I provide first-hand insights into campus culture, academic programs, and affordability. Financial fit is just as important as academic and social fit, and my background in finance and college financial planning helps families:

    💡 Understand true college costs beyond the sticker price.
    💡 Navigate financial aid and identify scholarship opportunities.
    💡 Evaluate return on investment to make financially sound decisions.

    My goal is not just to help students gain admission to great colleges—but to thrive once they get there. By combining expert knowledge, strategic planning, and financial insight, I ensure families feel confident about both the admissions journey and the investment in their child’s future.

    Most importantly, I help students find and refine their unique “hook”—the personal story or distinctive perspective that sets them apart. Colleges could fill their class multiple times over with academically qualified students, but what truly makes an applicant stand out is how they demonstrate impact, initiative, and a clear sense of purpose—and that’s exactly what we focus on.

    Additionally, parents receive a session report after every meeting, keeping them informed about their student’s progress. This ensures families stay engaged in the process, facilitating valuable conversations and keeping everyone on the same page.

ENROLLING WITH BROOKHAVEN COLLEGE ADVISORS

  • BCA works with high school students and college students seeking to transfer schools.

  • Not at all! While students who start earlier benefit from a more comprehensive, long-term strategy, I work with students at every stage of the process—including seniors—helping them strengthen their applications and stand out.

  • Ideally, students should begin working with BCA early in high school to gain a head start on the college admissions process, but it's never too late to receive guidance.

  • A common myth is that only valedictorians with perfect test scores get into top colleges. While strong grades are important, colleges are looking for more—they seek students with passion, resilience, and a drive to make an impact.

    At Brookhaven College Advisors, I work with students of all academic backgrounds, helping them identify their strengths, explore their interests, and develop a compelling story that showcases their unique potential.

    Through personalized guidance and strategic planning, I’ve helped students with varying GPAs and experiences gain admission to schools where they flourish academically, socially, and professionally. College success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about finding the right-fit environment where a student can thrive.

  • Parents are always welcome to join the first introductory meeting and any follow-up sessions. However, I find that 1:1 student meetings foster deeper conversations, independent decision-making, and stronger student engagement.

    To keep parents informed, I provide:
    ✔ Session reports after each meeting, detailing progress and next steps.
    ✔ Open communication via email or phone for any questions, updates, or concerns.

    This structure ensures that parents stay involved while allowing students to take ownership of their college journey.
