Biography
After a long and successful career with a Global 500 company, Rana decided to pursue a second career. Her son, who had recently graduated from Cornell University and her daughter, who was attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology, suggested that she might want to become an independent college admissions consultant. They recognized the joy she had working with them on their respective college searches. Rana went back to school, completed a certificate in Independent Educational Consulting, resumed visiting colleges, and founded Slosberg College Solutions LLC, where she works with high school students and their families on the college search and application process.
Rana has a Bachelor of Science degree in Systems Engineering from NYU, a Master of Arts degree in Computer Science from Queens College, and an Independent Educational Consultant Certificate from the University of California Irvine Extension. She attends workshops and college admissions conferences to keep abreast of changes in the field. Rana visits colleges regularly.
In addition to working with students, Rana speaks and blogs on a variety of college admissions topics.
Rana is a member of the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA) and the New Jersey Association for College Admission Counseling (NJACAC).
Slosberg College Solutions LLC is a member of the Somerset County Business Partnership, the regional Chamber of Commerce.
Rana will be happy to refund the cost of your initial ECN call, if you contract with her for her college selection, college application, or comprehensive package.

The answer is "yes" for students who feel strongly about this issue or who worry that states that prohibit abortion will also begin to prohibit other rights they may care about (e.g., LGBTQ rights, BIPOC rights).
If you want to read about this issue, check out the Business Insider article entitled "Location, campus life, and abortion access: Overturning Roe v. Wade adds yet another concern to students' college search" that I posted on August 25th on my Business Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SlosbergCollegeSolutions
There are many things you can do during your second semester of your junior year, including:
-.Determine what you are looking for in a college.
-.Research colleges to find ones that meet the criteria you have determined.
-.Visit the colleges, while the college is in session.
-.Set up your Common App and fill in what you can for the "common" portion. The application will roll over on August 1.
-.Brainstorm ideas for your college application essays.
- Once the Common App essay prompt comes out (typically in January), you can begin work on that essay.
- Select challenging classes for your senior year of high school.
- Make plans to do something meaningful (e.g., get a job, volunteer, learn something new, etc.) over the summer between your junior and senior year of high school.
- Prepare for and take the SAT or ACT.
- Keep up your grades and extra-curricular activities.
If you need guidance on any of these tasks, feel free to reach out to me.
