“Prior to meeting with Adam, I was completely overwhelmed of how to help guide my kids through the High School course selection to best prep them for when they apply to college. My anxiety around college prep immediately decreased with Adam’s practical advice. He was able to break down year-by-year actionable items to make the entire process digestible. Regardless if your child is entering High School or in their final year, Adam can help you navigate how to best support them. Best of all, he has real college admissions experience at an incredibly reputable University. Helping support each one of my children’s varying journeys to college feels immensely easier with Adams guidance.”

  • When and Why did you create College Admissions JumpStart?

    College Admissions JumpStart launched in November 2024. I launched this site for a few reasons: 1- I wanted families to have an affordable option to get all the college prep building blocks they need. 2- I wanted families to have a resource created by someone who has several years of experience in admissions as a Director and Assistant Dean, reviewing thousands of applications and being a figure head on many campus and national admissions committees- many college prep consultants have never even reviewed applications in an admissions office!

Don’t wait until senior year to start preparing for college.
