College Planning & Advising

Guiding students to thrive in college and beyond

My unique, student-centered approach takes students through a structured process that builds confidence, allows time for self-reflection and skill development, and ultimately results in a great college fit.

Exploratory Session

I begin with a 1.5 hour long no obligation Exploratory Session during which we meet, determine match, do a comprehensive transcript review, and complete a general overview of the college application process. Prior to the session I will complete a thorough document review so we make great use of our time. Should we decide to continue our work together within two weeks of the Exploratory Session, a portion of the fee will be applied to the total cost of your package

Foundation

Setting up a strong foundation for the college application process gives students the tools they need to block out the noise so they can focus on their personal journey. I emphasize time management and self-care goals to help students create a strong base for a positive, productive experience.

Self-Discovery

The more students know about themselves, the better! As a certified Strong Interest Inventory practitioner, I administer, analyze and interpret this helpful and stress-free assessment to help students understand how the results may inform their college and major choices.

Application

Being organized and consistent with the application process is key to a smooth and successful transition from high school to college. I work with students to develop an appropriate college list, and also provide support and feedback on personal statements and supplements. My students each develop an authentic application that reflects their academic record, personality, and unique voice.

Decision

This phase supports students to plan the transition from high school to post high school life with confidence and a sense of purpose. I help students weigh their options, evaluate effectively, and make a decision that feels right for them.

In thinking about the college application process, I felt overwhelmed and kind of terrified. Working with Rebecca changed my experience. She helped me navigate everything, taking me from feeling lost to submitting my applications way ahead of schedule. Ultimately, what set Rebecca apart was how much she truly cared for me as a person, not just as an application file. She invested time in helping me find my voice, ensuring my essays reflected who I actually was and what I genuinely wanted. I felt supported throughout the entire journey. Thank you!

Hiring Rebecca Field as our daughter's college admissions advisor was one of the wisest decisions we’ve made as parents. That’s because the process is so much more complex than when we were going through it, and we just didn’t have the expertise (or time, frankly, to get that expertise) to do a good job ourselves. Rebecca knows everything about it and, just as importantly, is a delightful human. Rebecca was able to guide our daughter throughout that complicated process in a way that was rigorous, yet doable, creating momentum while minimizing family tension. She understood exactly when to challenge and when to encourage, creating a truly special partnership with our daughter. Plus, Rebecca's essay writing help was absolutely invaluable. If you’re looking for someone who delivers results while understanding the parent-child dynamic, Rebecca Field is exceptional.
