Harris College Advising

I found Barbara Harris through BPN. Her style worked well for my son who is decently motivated and has a pretty laid back personality. She charged reasonable fees and always answered questions quickly. Barbara was very kind and didn’t push her own agenda, she was good at reading what worked for my son. He got into his first choice school. In hindsight, he probably would have gotten in with or without the help of a consultant but having Barbara’s support along the way made the process so smooth and relaxed.

We hired Barbara Harris as a college advisor and were very happy with her flexible approach.  We didn't start working with her until just before my kid's senior year, but she gave me great advice at that point.  Later, she helped with our kid's essays. I would recommend her as a good resource for whatever you're looking for to do with making a good college choice, and increasing your chances of ultimately getting accepted, which is as you point out partially a function of choices made throughout high school.

We were really impressed with Barbara Harris of Harris College Advising. My daughter was having trouble narrowing down her list of colleges. Barbara helped her figure out what was important to her and gave her a whole new list of colleges that made a lot more sense. My daughter was also stuck on her essays. Barbra helped her rethink them and turn them into something my daughter was really pleased with. I also noticed that my daughter's stress level went down a lot and now she is excited about her choices. After looking around I found Barbra both affordable and responsive which was really important to us.
