What people are saying

“Dr. Morgan was a phenomenal help throughout my college admissions process. She was enormously helpful when it came to helping me find my voice in the admission essays, too. 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, Barnard graduate

“Working with Dr. Genevieve Morgan was one of the best decisions we have ever made.
We actually started working with Dr. Morgan when my son was in tenth grade in order to give him a jump start on his college search. She was able to really connect with him and get him excited about the process, advising him in a thoughtful manner that enabled him to develop a great deal of independence and ownership over the whole process. She worked with him on everything from extracurricular activities and academic class selection to essay and testing
strategies. He not only found and was accepted to the school of his dreams, but he also discovered a lot about himself along the way.
I also greatly appreciated her ability to handle my parental anxiety!
I have been recommending Dr. Morgan to everyone I know.”

“”I am beyond grateful for the incredible guidance and support Dr. Morgan provided to my son throughout the college application process. Her dedication, insight, and unwavering belief in my son helped him navigate every step with clarity and confidence. Dr. Morgan didn’t just help him get into great schools—she helped him see his own potential. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Constance Posse, parent

“We used Genevieve to assist our daughter with identifying and applying to colleges for the fall of 2020. Genevieve was an outstanding college advisor. She helped us identify schools that would be a good fit for our daughter, gave clear and accurate advice about the timing for making the applications, and assisted our daughter by reviewing and helping her to edit the applications and essays. She did all this in a calm, insightful and supportive way. 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. She is very easy to communicate with and has excellent insight on every aspect of the application process. Moreover, her advice and support was highly effective. So far our daughter has been accepted to every school that she applied to. We are delighted to recommend Genevieve Morgan to any family embarking on the college application process. We can’t imagine a better, more thoughtful and supportive college advisor. Genevieve rocks!!!”

Shannon Presby, parent

“Dr. Morgan really helped me have a smooth college process. Without her guidance, I would have been very overwhelmed during the beginning of my senior year. Dr. Morgan made me feel very supported and confident by truly listening to me and suggesting colleges that fit exactly what I was looking for while also having it be realistic and balanced. She gave me a well organized schedule that motivated me to get things done early and made the weekly meetings we had very productive! Not many can say that they were both done early and very happy with everything, but I can because of Dr. Morgan. I couldn’t have done this without her! Thank you so much for everything Dr. Morgan!!”

“We met Genevieve through a family friend and immediately connected. She is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Initially she reviewed deadlines and gave us an overall timeline of the process, specifically considering my son’s interests (engineering) and grades and test scores. Afterwards, she prepared a recommended list of colleges and universities that suited my son. Then, they refined the list together. He ultimately got into his dream school–UCLA!

She is very up-to-date on the entrance exams and what is expected by many schools and is quick to find answers if she needs to. Several times he had critical, time-sensitive questions and she was always quick to reply. In fact, my son was texting her back and forth at the bitter end.

I was relieved that she could help him because I was not able to give him the answers he needed. She also reminded him of deadlines along the way. He’s a procrastinator, so I was happy that she did the nudging instead of me! There was a bit of strategy involved when choosing majors at the UCs and together they navigated it really well. Our experience was great and I am so happy that we were able to work with her!”

Lesley Evers, parent

“Insightful… knowledgeable… a true gift to our college search process. Genevieve was unlike the other counselors we engaged with because she actually took into account our son’s interests [computer science] and our financial limitations while trying to find the school of our child’s dreams.

The college process is more than setting your sights on a place that has a high-profile name with the right degree and a scintillating campus environment. The true reality is as complex and unique as each individual child and the hundreds of colleges and university options out there. With a tremendous sense of calm, Genevieve guided us through finding places that were the perfect school fit that we could afford. She also helped our son with myriad scholarship applications.”

Jeremy Alcock, parent

“Genevieve was an amazing college counselor to work with, helping me every step of the way to make the process easy, smooth, and low-stress. I started out with little idea about what to do and what schools to apply to but her guidance made the application process simple to understand and complete. She took time to get to know me and to help me identify what I was looking for in schools, allowing us to build a list perfectly tailored to me. Then, we brainstormed unique ideas for my essays and she provided thoughtful advice to help improve them. She always kept me on track with little deadlines along the way, which prevented procrastination and I never had to stress about finishing anything last-minute. This really helped to make the process significantly less overwhelming and I never had to worry about juggling school and applications. Moreover, Genevieve was always very easy to get in touch with and was good about working with both of our schedules. Her dedication to my success helped me to yield acceptance results I was really happy with. Then, when the time came to choose a school she continued to support and guide me and even helped me to get in touch with others who attended my top choices. This gave me more personalized information about those schools and aided me in making my decision. Genevieve truly provided the best help and support that I am immensely grateful for.
