ABOUT RANDI
Randi Joelson is the proud owner and founder of Joelson College Consulting. Her goal is to help students maximize their chances of gaining admission to the school that best fits the student and their families through one-on-one college counseling.
She has a vast amount of experience working with teenage students. She understands their needs, communicates well with them, and quickly develops a harmonious and mutually respectful relationship. She held a position on the school site council at SDUHSD where both her children attended. Her son Zachary is now a sophomore at the University of Michigan. Her daughter Alexandra graduated in 2019 from SDA and is attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying business administration and finance.
When Randi is not busy working as a college admissions counselor, she enjoys reading, traveling, running with her dog, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
MY PHILOSOPHY
My ultimate goal is to create a "WOW" factor that helps each student to stand out and be as competitive as possible in the college admissions process. As a college admissions coach, I will develop a game plan that provides the tools, strategies, and information needed to help the student grow to his/her fullest potential. I help every step of the way, from how to navigate the admissions process to creating a successful application and everything in between. I believe in an individualized approach to college counseling that benefits each student. My philosophy is that the counselor-to-student experience brings the best results and most successful outcome for both the student and parents. Taking the time to really get to know the student is a critical part of the college admissions counseling process. It ensures them the best chance among the expanding applicant pools. My plan takes the stress and drama out of the application process and helps your student find the best possible college matches. A customized and strategic plan to help each unique student maximize the probability of admission to their best-fit school while minimizing stress and anxiety for the entire family is my specialty. I have solutions to best serve your student and family, no matter the situation!
