and knowing what’s happening at colleges.
The college application process has exploded in complexity.

test-optional policies changing almost every week,

for success and happiness.

About Me
Jenny Buyens
Helping high schoolers find a great college match is what I love to do! ​
Think of me as your college guru. I visit public and private, large, medium, and small college campuses every year all across the US. I know from personal conversations with college admissions professionals what comprises a strong college application.
I stay on top of the latest higher ed data through professional conferences and webinars, supported by a national network of independent education consultants. No need to google and wonder what information you are getting--- you get the latest and best information from me!
But it's not just knowing about the schools. I listen closely to understand what makes your high schooler tick (and what college would help them THRIVE!). I guide them to take charge of their search, but I'm always there with a steady hand. ​
My goal? To equip your student with the latest information so they find a college that feels like home. Parents love my honest advice and dedication to helping students shine. ​
Let's chat and map out this exciting college journey together. Simply complete the form on the last page and we'll get started!
