About The Position

The College Admissions Advisor guides students and families through the college admissions process, developing personalized admissions strategies, strengthening student profiles, managing application timelines, and preparing competitive applications for selective universities.

The advisor collaborates with Client Success, Essay Editing, and internal leadership teams to provide a seamless student experience.
