Meghan

Meghan is a former admissions officer at Harvard University, where she spent over six years evaluating applicants and helping determine admissions decisions. As a voting member of the Admissions Committee, she read applications from assigned regions, assessed academic and extracurricular profiles, and participated directly in committee discussions that decided which students were admitted. This experience gives her an insider’s understanding of how highly selective universities evaluate candidates not just on paper, but in the nuanced, comparative process that happens behind closed doors.

After her time in admissions, Meghan transitioned into private college consulting, applying her admissions expertise to help students position themselves effectively for top-tier universities. She works closely with students on strategy, narrative development, and application execution, translating what she knows from the decision-making side into actionable guidance.

Students she has advised have earned admission to many of the nation's most selective colleges and universities, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Penn (Wharton), Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, Cornell, UChicago, Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Williams, Amherst, Claremont McKenna, Pomona, Barnard, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, Emory, UNC, and USC.

Every academically qualified student she has worked with has been admitted to a Top 20 or Top 30 university.

Her combination of direct admissions committee experience and private consulting results provides families with rare insight into what competitive universities are truly looking for and how to help students stand out authentically in the process.
