WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

  • Full Service for All

    No two students are alike and neither are college counselors. At Out in Front, when you hire Vanessa, you work with Vanessa. Most college counseling websites offer to “match” your child with a counselor who is “right for them”, but matching is typically based on how much you are willing to pay and your child’s academic strength. At Out in Front, your child works with Vanessa and gets the 100% of her commitment and expertise from introductory meeting to acceptances.

  • Maximizing & Strategizing

    The number of children who “look the same” on paper is astounding and not every student will cure a disease or send a rover to Mars. The key is to find those things that make your child stand out and maximize them in the application. Uncovering the nuances of each child and knowing exactly what colleges are looking for comes from Vanessa’s decades of experience getting students into schools and is built on her strong relationships with admission officials.

  • Essay Writing

    Vanessa believes that the essay is one of the most important parts of the application and works to maximize each child’s strengths. Every child has unique traits and experiences and Vanessa works through an incredible process to bring out the hidden gems that make college admissions want to give your child that coveted seat. As a former litigator, Vanessa knows the power of a good story and is skilled at helping tell your child’s unique tale. Whether one essay or thirty, each one is crafted to inspire.

  • Project/Time Management

    Keeping track of requirements and deadlines is a tremendous task and students typically respond more positively to anyone other than mom and dad to follow through. Vanessa provides regular friendly reminders to ensure that every student stays on task with each task necessary for a seamless application process. This process results in many students submitting all of their college applications months in advance of deadlines and many prior to the beginning of senior year.
