Vanessa Sica College Consultant
About me
As a licensed school counselor for over 10 years, I have helped hundreds of students and families with college research, planning, and applications. My goal is to make this process simple and stress free. I start by connecting students’ wants, strengths, individuality and career goals to a carefully formed list of potential schools for the strongest application possible.
My services include academic planning from junior into senior year, financial aid and scholarship guidance, and my favorite - the college essay workshop. I truly love what I do, and I pride myself in providing the care and attention this important milestone deserves.
I look forward to making this process exciting for you and your family!

What People Are Saying
“With just a few meetings, Vanessa's patience, feedback, and knowledge of the college application process took so much weight off my shoulders. I went from barely being able to put together a list of target schools, to sending in the strongest possible applications to schools I now know are the right fit for me. Thank you Vanessa!”
