Emerging Educational Consulting

I was so impressed with the on hands assistance my daughter received from Emerging. They kept her on task, with the help of an online system that far exceeded the online software of her previous college counselor. After hearing the owner (Laura) speak on a popular podcast, I knew I needed to switch college counselors. My daughter's advisor (Sydney) was with her from start to finish and served as an amazing role model for my daughter, in addition to a college counselor. With the help of Sydney, my daughter formulated a college resume and LinkedIn account that she used to find local work, further enhancing her college resume. The help of Laura and Sydney from Emerging made the college application process so much easier, and saved me much frustration. My daughter not only got into the college of her choice, but learned a tremendous amount about what it takes to be a successful adult. Now, my younger daughter is starting her work with Emerging this month, too!

Emerging Educational Consulting is truly special. Their mission of growing good humans is at the center of everything they do, and it shows in the thoughtful, compassionate way they support students and families. They focus on more than outcomes, helping students build confidence, character, and a sense of purpose. The process feels meaningful, human-centered, and empowering. Highly recommend!

What a blessing to have had Emerging Consulting help our son with his college journey. It is so clear that Laura cares deeply about her clients and feels passionate about finding the right university for the student. It started with really getting to know our son on a personal and academic level. While the responsibility to research and visit universities falls on the family, Emerging Consulting's assistance was invaluable throughout the process. They worked tirelessly to help our son prepare all of his submission materials well in advance so the stressful application process could be more manageable. They were reminding him of deadlines, and not me! That alone is worth a lot. Our son received the highest academic merit scholarship possible which allowed him to attend a much more expensive university for a similar cost as a state institution. I have no doubt that was in part to Emerging's expertise and guidance. They really care about the holistic well being of the student and finding the all around right fit. I highly recommend their services.

We have worked with the team at Emerging Educational Consulting to receive guidance for our twin boys for both their high school choice and college application process. It is not an exaggeration to say they are stellar! Laura, Sydney and Hannah are not only quite skilled but they are also sympathetic and caring. Also, this firm is well networked in the university system, proving insights that you just can’t get anywhere else. We highly recommend this team!

Laura, Hannah and the team make a daunting process manageable! I appreciated Laura's approach to finding the right college fit where each kid can grow and feel like they can succeed (and ultimately enjoy), rather than playing the game of only focusing on a handful of highly selective schools. This broad focus, along with their deep knowledge of schools, the process, and keeping us on a timeline was invaluable in helping our family move through this obstacle course to give us OPTIONS. Leading from a joyful place really makes a difference in a highly pressurized high school experience! So grateful for their approach of empathy and reality.
