College & Career Advising

I had a spectacular time working with Ms. Prout on my college essays. Ms. Prout holds a special skill that brings out the best in her clients. In my situation, I was excelling at school but I had no clear direction on what I wanted to do in the future. Ms. Prout referred me to career videos that cultivated my interests and helped me pick out a job that I based my essays around. Her judgment helped me find what was best for me, which allowed me to write my perfect application. What is most special about Ms. Prout is her commitment to her clients. She definitely dedicates herself and goes far beyond what is expected to help achieve your goals. If you have a target school, let her know. She will work tirelessly so that this goal becomes a reality.  

As a first generation college student and immigrant, I was overwhelmed by the college application process because I didn’t know where to start and what I could do to distinguish myself from tens of thousands of other applicants. I was blessed to be introduced to Ms. Prout. From our first meeting, I felt that she genuinely cared about my success and personal growth. She didn’t just apply a standardized formula for her students’ applications, but rather she spent a lot of time getting to know who I am and what drives me, so that I could craft the best version of my own story. I remember when we were revising my Common App essay together, she was so meticulous that she pushed me to contemplate over every sentence, every word of the essay to maximize the potential in my storytelling. I really could not have been where I am today without her guidance as my college counselor and more importantly, my life mentor.
