College Admissions Advisor

We are looking for a highly organized and experienced College Admissions Advisor to guide students and families through the college admissions process.

This is not a traditional administrative advising role. Our College Admissions Advisors work directly with students and families to develop personalized admissions strategies, strengthen student profiles, manage application timelines, and prepare competitive applications for selective universities. The role requires a strong understanding of college admissions, the ability to manage multiple students, and a practical approach to helping families make informed decisions throughout the process.

We highly value candidates with previous experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) who have independently guided students through the complete college admissions process, from long‑term academic planning to final application submission.

You will become the primary point of contact for a caseload of students and families while collaborating closely with our Client Success and Essay Editing teams, allowing you to focus on high‑level coaching and admissions strategy rather than logistics or administrative coordination.

We are specifically looking for candidates who understand both:

• the nuances of the UC/CSU systems and UC PIQ strategy.
• the broader Top 100 admissions landscape.

Guide students and families through academic planning, extracurricular development, testing strategy, and application timelines through regular meetings and ongoing communication.

Help students build competitive long‑term profiles aligned with their academic interests, intended majors, and target universities.

Advise students on how to strategically position their stories, achievements, activities, and essays across both the UC application system and the Common App.

Serve as a trusted and professional advisor for families by providing transparency, reassurance, accountability, and strategic direction throughout the admissions journey.

Proactively monitor student progress, identify gaps or missed milestones early, and intervene strategically to keep students on track.

Partner closely with Essay Editing, Client Success, and internal leadership teams to ensure a seamless and high‑quality student experience.

• 5+ years of college admissions coaching, counseling, or mentoring experience required.
• Experience as an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC) and/or Public High School College Counselor is strongly preferred.
• Experience independently managing the full college admissions counseling process, including academic planning, extracurricular and activities planning, major and college selection, application strategy, and college application advising from start to finish.
• Deep familiarity with UC and CSU admissions systems, including PIQs and admissions positioning.
• Strong understanding of Top 100 U.S. universities and admissions strategy.

You understand that successful admissions outcomes are built through long‑term positioning, storytelling, accountability, and execution.

You can confidently manage multiple students and families while maintaining high‑quality communication and strategic oversight.

You are comfortable leading Zoom meetings, delivering feedback, recording video feedback, and building trust with both students and parents.

You thrive in feedback‑heavy environments and enjoy collaborating cross‑functionally with other high‑performing team members.

You move comfortably between Zoom, Google Drive, Slack, Calendly, Loom, and modern AI‑powered systems and tools.
