College admissions is an opaque and sometimes mercurial process. I will strive to shed light and give you the best informed advice possible, but no admission to any college is guaranteed. My focus is help your student put their best foot forward in this process.

 

Sessions are $140/session and include 1 hour of meeting time or essay help and 1 hour of research/communication. Sessions may take place in person or via phone, virtual meeting or shared documents. Additional time for meeting/essay help my be purchased for $85/hr and added to a session.
​
Payment is due at the time of appointment to secure the meeting time. Any changes to appointments must be made as soon as possible. Any changes or cancellations must be made more than 24 hours of the appointment. Same day cancellations cannot be refunded.

​

I accept Venmo, Zelle, cash or check. Payments can be sent via venmo @gretchen-doughty (you'll see a profile pic of me in a red coat, hugging my daughter), Zelle via my phone 646-320-2277 (my legal name, Margaret, is on that account), check sent to 19 Sherman Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912, or cash delivered in person only.
