About Me

Hi! I’m Jennie. I’m the founder of College Everything.


Who am I?

I’m a graduate of Brown University.

I work in higher education.

And I’m a mom of three.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about the college admissions process and college life.

I created this site to share what I’ve learned with students and parents.

Why? Because I want to make the college experience less stressful for everyone.


Why should you take my advice?

I know what the Ivy League is like

As a graduate of Brown University, I know what it’s like to apply to and study at an elite university. I was an alumni interviewer for my alma mater for eighteen years. I’m very in touch with what colleges are looking for in applicants.

I’ve read so many college essays

As a professional editor, I’ve provided editing suggestions and final proofreading for a lot of college admissions essays and med school applications.

I’m a higher ed professional

I currently work in higher education. I’m aware of what’s going on behind the scenes at colleges and universities.

I’m a mom

Most importantly, I have three daughters.

Like you, I’m in the thick of researching things like:

  • college admissions today
  • how to pay for college
  • merit scholarships
  • choosing the “best” college
  • how to ensure success in college

I created College Everything to share everything I’ve learned about college with you. 


Why do I care about your college experience?

I’ve always been fascinated by the fun of the college search and the complexity of the admissions process. (Weird, I know.)

I love imagining the possibilities for learning and personal growth that could happen at different universities.

I love being on college campuses and browsing course offerings. 

don’t love the mysteries behind admissions decisions, high rejection rates, or the many ways college can be super stressful.

I bet you don’t either.

I want to help students attend a university or college that suits them academically, socially, and financially.

And I want to provide ideas, advice, and inspiration to help them make the most of college.  

College Everything will help you with, well, everything to do with college. 

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
