A new independent college admissions service, Collegiate Road Counseling, is pleased to announce the official launch of the practice in Ithaca. After spending the 2018/19 school year in Ithaca High School's Student Services department, founder Tara O'Malley says she looks forward to guiding new students one on one.
A UCLA College Counseling alumnus and IECA Associate Member, O'Malley provides a resource to the local area with an ethical, welcoming, and individualized approach prepared to guide families through the oftentimes overwhelming admissions process and help teens find the best college fit for them.
Collegiate Road Counseling assists high school students and their families throughout the entire college search, financial aid and application processes. There are many great postsecondary options for every student. O'Malley says no student should be made to feel that they must become something they are not to get accepted.
"The 'best' school is the school that fits a student academically, socially, and financially," says O'Malley. "Being authentic and demonstrating genuine interest and abilities is the core of our solid approach to ensuring the right college fit." This is central to what an ethical Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) does.
