College Counseling Services
“an invaluable resource”
“I first began working with Susan eight years ago when I was the College Counselor at New Albany High School. We had grown to a point where it was difficult to provide individual attention for the number of students I worked with, and Susan came to the rescue. She helped our students with essays and was an invaluable resource. Any time a student is looking for additional assistance with the college selection or essay writing process, I suggest students look for consultants with experience. This is one of the reasons I am comfortable with Susan - she has admissions experience from a variety of schools, knows her stuff, and is personable and relatable to students. I am picky about who my students work with! Susan is one of very few consultants that I would ever recommend."
— Jeff Stahlman, College Counselor, St. Charles Preparatory School
“…the results speak for themselves!”
“Last year we hired Susan to help our junior twins with the college admissions process. We went with the Comprehensive College Search Package plus some additional Essay time. What could have been an overwhelmingly stressful and confusing process for our family – especially with twins – turned out to be a low-stress and methodical process thanks to Susan. She is very effective, has a nice disposition, and she was easy for all of us to work with. And the results speak for themselves! Our sons were accepted at five out of their six top college choices; one son will be attending the University of Richmond and the other will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in the fall. We highly recommend Susan.”

“put your child at ease”
“Working with Susan during my son’s senior year was a real pleasure! Truly one of the most stressful times for seniors and their parents was made seamless, painless and almost enjoyable :). Susan has an ability to put your child at ease while helping them organize and create their best selves. I highly recommend making this investment for yourself and your child!”

“knowledge of the process”
“Susan Fischer made the college admissions process enjoyable and simple for my two children! Her knowledge of the process from application to submission was invaluable to us as parents, as well as to both of our high school students. Susan approached each application, no matter the school, with equal importance and attention to detail. She also provided the assistance and encouragement necessary for them to submit applications that best represented their personalities and goals. As parents, we found the essays especially difficult to critique without triggering stress. We can’t tell you how much we appreciated Susan's unbiased, timely, and meaningful responses to each question and every edit.”

“she understands what universities are looking for”
“I highly recommend Susan Fischer to assist your child with the college admissions process. Susan worked with my daughter on developing her school criteria and personal essay. She has been doing this a long time and is very well organized, and she put my daughter at ease. She was very clear with my daughter about key milestones and was great at keeping her motivated and on track. Since Susan previously worked in admissions, she understands what universities are looking for in an essay. She easily connected with my daughter and helped tap into what is unique about her, so she could share those qualities in her essay. Ultimately, my daughter was accepted at her ideal school and is thriving. Susan has excellent qualifications and I recommend her to you without reservation.”

“Susan makes a very stressful experience into one that is manageable and enjoyable”
"It has been our pleasure to work with Susan Fischer with three of our children, and now on to our fourth child who is a junior. Susan has knowledge and experience of the college process and what colleges/universities are looking for. She takes the time to sit and listen to what the student is looking for, their interests, what they have done in high school, and where they want to go. We think this is important, and shows how caring she is about finding the right school for everyone. She is great about giving dates and deadlines and keeping students on schedule. Susan is wonderful at working with students on the essay and helping bring out what they truly want to express. We have one child at University of Colorado, Boulder, one at Michigan State, one starting at Indiana University in the Fall of 2018, and one just beginning the process. Susan makes a very stressful experience into one that is manageable and enjoyable! We truly have enjoyed working with Susan Fischer and highly recommend her for your college search."

The college application process can be stressful and overwhelming at times, but Susan’s input reassured all of us.

“reduction of stress for the entire family”

“constant encouragement and support”
“Mrs. Fischer made the college process not only manageable, but exciting as well. I was able to challenge myself, experience personal growth, and expand my confidence tremendously through means of constant encouragement and support. Throughout the essay process, I learned how to highlight and expand upon my greatest strengths while improving upon my weaknesses. I am a more confident, competent, and independent person as a result of working with Mrs. Fischer!”
