You can e-mail me directly at evelyn@magellancounseling.com.
I would actually recommend, though, that you get in touch with Loren Grossman. You can reach her at lrg@ix.netcom.com.
Best of luck!

I am looking for higher studies in Canada for my wife, it’s really difficult to find out a collage /university. Can you help me with the same?
Hi, thank you for your question. Higher Education in Canada is not an expertise of mine however I'd encourage you to visit the HECA website and search our member database for those outside the US region. Best of luck to you and your wife in your search!

Hello. Can you recommend one or several resources (book and/or website) for a California student finishing up her second year of community college this spring who wishes to transfer to a 4-year college or university? (Her ACT and SAT scores are low but she has a 3.4 GPA)
There is an excellent site for planning transferring to the UC and CSU systems. The deadlines for Fall 2019 are mostly past for both UC and CSU for transfers, however.
www.assist.org Shows transferable coursework from CA CC students to the CSU or UC campuses. Also shows recommended and/or re... more
There is an excellent site for planning transferring to the UC and CSU systems. The deadlines for Fall 2019 are mostly past for both UC and CSU for transfers, however.
www.assist.org Shows transferable coursework from CA CC students to the CSU or UC campuses. Also shows recommended and/or required coursework for transferring to specific majors.
For transfering to private schools or out-of-state (non-CA) public schools, there is not a similar go-to recommendation for sites, so the best place to look is always the college's transfer admissions website.
Transfer students sometimes need to submit test scores, sometimes not. The UC and CSUs do not consider test scores for transfer admission.

Some colleges require a graded paper. How are graded papers reviewed by the university? What kind of communication is done between the teacher who graded the paper and the admissions office? Thanks!
As a former Admissions Director, I can say the request for the submission of a graded paper has less to do with the grade itself and more to do with the validation of an authentic work by the student. It would confirm a genuine sample of written work. As a result, the need to discuss t... more

It would confirm a genuine sample of written work. As a result, the need to discuss the grading between admissions and the teacher is irrelevant and unnecessary.

Has the #Metoo movement increased the number of applicants at Sweet Briar? Has the #Metoo movement increased the number of applicants at Sweet Briar?
Thank you for posing the question. However, we are not currently recording any metrics that would enable us to attribute any rise in application numbers to any particular phenomenon. Without polling our current applicants and applicants from previous years, it is impossible for us to s... more

When and why should an AP score be cancelled?
I would almost never cancel an AP score, and here's why.
AP scores are literally NEVER required for college admission. Students who excel on their AP exams can send them, but admission offices won't wonder where they are if they are not part of a student's application, and students will not... more

AP scores are literally NEVER required for college admission. Students who excel on their AP exams can send them, but admission offices won't wonder where they are if they are not part of a student's application, and students will not be penalized for not sending or reporting AP scores.
AP scores ARE used to earn college credit after you enroll at the college you choose in the end. Most colleges will award some credit for scores of 4 or 5; some colleges will award some credit for scores of 3. No colleges reward credit for scores of 1 or 2, but there is no downside to having these scores show up on the AP report when you send your AP scores to the college at which you enroll.
If you cancel an AP score, you will never know what score you receive! So I really can't think of a situation in which I would cancel an AP score.
