How we select our advisors

It is crucially important to CollegeAdvisor.com that all advisors have an enormous capacity for empathy, kindness, and the willingness to commit fully to a successful relationship with the students and families in their care.

Selected from a broader applicant pool, advisors who are offered interviews have demonstrated a history of working closely with college bound students, have a great facility with writing, phenomenal communication skills, and an ability to be both flexible and demanding in their work with students. Advisors are chosen from a variety of backgrounds and come from a range of academic institutions, but invariably they are excited by the prospect of guiding students along the college admission path. Willing to learn, they are open to feedback, engage actively with their advisor peers, and constantly seek knowledge that will allow them to become better, more informed, advisors. Advisors must be organized, diligent, have impeccable writing skills, and above all, be enthusiastic advocates for the well-being of the students in their care.
