College Counseling

Your Dreams, My Mission

Comprehensive, strategic, personalized planning for your child’s journey

About Me

I hold a bachelors from UCLA, a masters and Ph.D from UC Davis, and am certified by UCLA’s College Counseling program. As a former admissions reader for a highly selective university and an AP reader for the College Board, I have also worked in several competitive high schools and serve on the Board of Directors of the Higher Education Consultants Association.

Testimonials

“Genevieve was an essential guide to my college journey. She gave me incredible feedback on every aspect of my applications, including all of the UC essays, EOP essays, and Personal Statements. Her edits were smooth and allowed me to keep my personal statement authentic, as opposed to automated and robotic as some personal statements tend to get.

Genevieve’s mentorship helped me tremendously as well. She would check in at all the right moments and ask not only about how my essays were but over all how I was feeling, mentally and overall about the college process. Together, we kept track of what each school’s application requirements and due dates were and what scholarships were available to me. With her help and wonderful guidance, I was accepted and admitted into the University of Southern California’s Fall Class of 2020 and will be pursuing a Major in Psychology and a double minor in Script Writing and General Cinematic Arts.”

“Genevieve saw our son as a unique individual, approaching our college search specifically catering to his goals and needs, while keeping our financial constraints in mind. She took a creative and individualized approach in bringing us the right fit.

She is a true gift to the process. We felt heard, knowledgeably assisted, and calmly guided in this daunting and complex journey to find the best match for our son’s future school. She is intuitive and a natural; we were lucky to have found her.”

Jeanne Leblanc, parent

“Dr. Morgan was a phenomenal help throughout my college admissions process. With her guidance, I was able to significantly improve my score on the SAT English Subject Test. She was enormously helpful when it came to helping me find my voice in the admission essays. I highly recommend Dr. Morgan to anyone if they would like to get into their dream college. Her background as an English teacher together with her extensive knowledge about the college admissions process makes her the best of the best!”

Jasmine C., Barnard Graduate

“When I came to Dr. Morgan, my personal writing was full of mistakes and missing key elements. After working with Dr. Morgan, I was able to move my subpar essay to a more dynamic one that captured my voice and message. Ultimately, it helped me get into my top choice school.”

Lily F., University of Oregon

“The college application process can be daunting, but Genevieve’s knowledge and support gave our family the confidence we needed to complete the application process efficiently and with a minimum of stress. Genevieve is a great listener and really takes the time to tailor her advice to the individual student. She is not a “one size fits all” counselor, but works very hard to understand the individual student and his or her needs and desires.”

Shannon Presby, parent

“Genevieve is an absolute asset to anyone who needs guidance and compassion in an advisor navigating this complex journey to find the perfect fit for your child’s future learning.”

Jeremy Alcock, parent

“I don’t know where I would be without Genevieve. She has been a total lifesaver throughout this process. In my greatest time of need and stress, Genevieve helped me and my family complete all my applications for college, scholarships, and honors programs alike. While I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to attend college because of my misguided search in the months prior, Genevieve helped me look for new schools to apply to, sending me in the right direction. She used her connections and expertise to find schools that would be the best fit for me, academically, socially, and financially, and I can’t thank her enough for this.”
