Special Counsel

THE SIX MEMBERS of Lakeside’s college counseling team represent more than 55 combined years of experience across nearly every facet of the college application process. The close relationships they’ve developed with admissions officers give them beyond-the-website access to institutional data. The professional committee and leadership positions they hold and the conferences they attend provide insider information on national trends. Their deep networks are a source of high-quality crowd-sourced knowledge: how to counsel a competitive, national-level skier; what to tell a candidate who’s curious about colleges in Finland. They have the rare resource of an on-staff writing specialist and the good fortune to work at a school that allows them to attend fly-in college events and to treat visiting college reps the right way. It all shows up in the enviable record of the great colleges our students attend.
