I founded Ariav College Admissions Consulting in 2013 to help navigate students and their parents through the college search and application process.
My approach encourages students to discover and explore the colleges where they can best thrive academically and personally. Students develop an understanding of their own strengths, experiences, and insights and convey them in meaningful, authentic, and distinctive essays.
I answer any questions students have and ensure that they effectively manage deadlines.
Ultimately, this collaboration provides valuable support for students as they identify their goals for the future and grow as the leaders in pursuing them.

My husband just told me ‘This was the best money we ever spent’ and I agree! [Our daughter] is thriving, she got lots of merit aid, and she loves college so much we don’t have to worry about her transferring or dropping out.

Ian made the stressful process of applying to college easy and very manageable. I left my sessions with him excited to go write the essays … He was able to pull ideas out of me I could have never come up with without his help and I turned those ideas into essays I was very proud of…I could not have been happier with my essays.
