My name is Becky Munsterer Sabky.
As a former Director of International Admissions at Dartmouth, I know undergraduate college admissions.
I've recruited students from Boston to Beijing. I've read thousands of personal statements. And I've helped admit, waitlist and deny over ten thousand college hopefuls.
(My full bio is below!)
I'm not for individual hire (and never have been). But the world of college admissions is bananas and I want to help. Prospective students and their families need good guidance on how to handle the search, the application, the outcomes. They need both prescriptive advice and perspective on the process. They need to recognize that admissions is a business, and it's nothing personal.
I created this video to help prospective students (at any stage of the process) take back control of their admissions journey. In it, I share actionable tips, practical application advice, and helpful hints for navigating the college admissions process with sanity.
Whether you're a sophomore in San Francisco or a senior in Switzerland, you've got this! Allow me remind you why (and give you some tips how). "It's Not About U., It's About You" is for YOU!
