Stress Less College Apps
Community SubscriberA wellness approach to college applications and beyond. My goal is to make college applications a fun, enlightening, and manageable experience for high school seniors and transfer students. I'm also committed to making college applications support accessible by offering rates far below many of my competitors, flexible pricing for families with financial need, and free workshops at Oakland high schools and libraries.
Our senior just submitted their decision for college all thanks to Harley. They started together in the beginning of his senior year where he felt late to the game as many of his friends had college counselors already. Right off the bat he was easy to talk to and work with, it took just two sessions to figure out what to write his college essay about and after that things fell into place. He helped our son narrow down his college search and suggested colleges that he previously would not have applied to. As someone who gets distracted and goes off topic a lot, our son appreciated all the indulged conversations Harley had with him. When he was stuck on various parts of the essay or other writing prompts, Harley would help him get back into the groove. When he was over a word count Harley easily was able to show him what parts of an essay he didn't need or could change. After speaking with a friend who he considered more academically gifted but ended up not getting into many of the colleges she applied to (and had told him she just kind of “winged” the applications), we then realized just how much Harley had helped him. If you are looking for a college counselor for your kid, please send them to Stress Less College Apps, you will not regret it and neither will your kid.
Hello!
We have used 2 different ones and both worked well:
Harley Poston, Stress Less College Apps / https://stresslesscollegeapps.com/ // does hourly and quite reasonable...he started with my senior son in Fall (very late, I'd start sooner if I would do over) and they met weekly at a cafe to go over everything. You can do more or less. And for what it is worth my son got into every school he applied (no Ivies mind you but good schools!)
Sallie Bryan / https://www.salliebcollegeconsulting.com/services // is just now starting with my junior daughter and she is fantastic! works with all types of students and I would imagine very well with someone shy. Does hourly (a bit more pricey) with various package types.
