I have been in the college counseling and tutoring (SAT/ACT) business since 1998. I began working with College Counseling Associates in Menlo Park, CA and while working with them, I also graduated from the Business Writing Center to refine my skills in editing and correcting essays. I have done rigorous work with students both one-on-one and in a small class atmosphere preparing them for the SAT and ACT. I enjoy helping students figure out their college career and future by getting to know them and aiding them in the competitive college process. After doing some work with Mary Clarke/Reading Resources, I then started my own firm in 2003. Growing up in the Bay Area, I am very well versed with the wonderful and competitive high school scene. I attended Castilleja for junior high, Menlo School for high school and then onto Duke University.

College Admissions at a Glance - Danielle B Golod
PREFACE
When I first sit down with families, most are paranoid that they have started too late, have missed key deadlines, have neglected possible scholarship opportunities, haven’t secured the proper accommodations for their child’s learning disability, or don’t understand the athletic recruiting process. They feel like a deer in the headlights and don’t know where to start.
My hope is that with this guide in hand, you will not feel nervous or behind. Instead, I hope that you will feel more informed and at ease about the college admissions process.
This booklet is intended to quickly answer your questions on what you should be considering each semester of high school. It is not intended to show you how to best accomplish each task.
