College Admissions Guidance

In Business Since: 2011

Desired Markets: Local, Regional, State, National, International
 
  Description: I'm on a mission to transform the overwhelming college preparation and college application process into a meaningful, exciting, and empowering experience that gets young people into the right schools and makes it easier for them to excel once they're there. Students in my program have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, Dartmouth, Stanford, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Northwestern, the University of Chicago, Rutgers, the University of Southern California, Boston University, Syracuse University, Babson, Northeastern, and many other great schools. I use the application form as the starting point for a major transformation that provides participants with eye-opening strategies for creating the kind of truly original application packages they need in order to gain a competitive edge. On an even deeper level, they learn how to take their writing to the next level; think about and present themselves in new, more mature ways; discover how to cultivate authentic connections with teachers; and much more. These are the types of skills that can make a huge difference in terms of their success in both high school and college, so its really never too early too start the program. I believe every motivated student deserves high-quality guidance through the college application process. Unfortunately, many schools do not have the resources to provide this type of assistance, and most families cannot afford to shell out thousands of dollars for private college consultants. That's why I'm committed to making Get Yourself Into College an affordable, easily accessible program.
  Profile: I chose to leave my full-time position as a college English professor and put my award-winning research on the back burner in order to start Get Yourself Into College, Inc. My program builds upon my extensive experience mentoring hundreds of students from a wide range of majors and backgrounds as they transition into college. I've served on admissions and hiring committees, worked as an academic advisor to freshmen and sophomores at a groundbreaking honors college, participated in a highly regarded Freshman Year Initiative program that organizes students into learning communities, and ran an innovative internship program that I designed from scratch.

  Description: Though hope exists for all of us, sometimes it must be found through others. The mission of Maureen's Hope is to offer support and assistance to people facing the challenges of cancer and other life threatening illness. There are many needs that patients have when faced with a life altering disease that can not be met by the medical community and we hope to fulfill some of those needs. Maureen's Hope caters to the personal needs of individuals facing these challenges by providing gift baskets and services that offer comfort and strength as well as helping to improve their quality of life. Maureen's Hope Foundation has been able to provide over 400 baskets to cancer patients over the past five years. We have also provided patients with a cleaning service for their home; meals for the family; a wig and/or hats; complementary therapy such as reiki or massage; and assistance with fundraising events to help families with medical expenses. Maureen's Hope also helps to empower and encourage people facing an illness by offering a variety of programs that offer hope, inspiration and education to patients. Guest speakers for these programs include motivational speakers, health care providers and community representatives. Maureen's Hope is funded through grants, corporate donations and fundraising events.
  Profile: In 2010 the Foundation sponsored a new program at the Golisano Children’s Hospital called “Beads of Hope” which gives children battling cancer a tangible way to mark their treatments and progress with a colorful string of beads.
  Featured Products or Services: Visit our brand new Inspirational Jewlery Store to help support the Maureen's Hope Foundation Secure Inspirational Jewelry Store. The story behind our bracelets have made them a meaningful gift to share with someone special and all proceeds benefit Maureen's Hope Foundation. While my sister Maureen was battling cancer she wore a fun and inspirational bracelet from Chicos throughout her journey. While she was wearing a less than flattering hospital gown her bracelet became a symbol of normalcy and represented the fun spirited person she was. May you get the same joy from your bracelet and let it bring out your Live, Love, Laugh attitude! Enjoy!

  Description: At Susan Budrakey & Associates, we believe our job is to empower and educate women (and the men who love them) to make the financial decisions that will best serve their individual life plans and dreams.
  Profile: I am a financial coach. Coaching is more than support. Coaching provides direction, clarity and balance.

Our team of advisors has over 46 years of combined expertise in investments, retirement income planning, tax and life insurance as well as Long Term Care Insurance. An informed client can make better decisions to create a better financial future.
