Throughout Mark’s career he has focused on the factors that lead to a successful transition from secondary school to university life and since 2005 he has guided hundreds of students and families from around the world as they navigate the complex university search and selection process. Mark’s students now attend, or have graduated from, universities throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Mark received his Master of Education from the University of Virginia. When not working with students Mark enjoys time with his family and is an avid bicyclist.

What Students & Parents Are Saying About Our College Admissions Counseling Services

I am excited to tell you of our experience with Mark Blaweiss as our college advisor. I say our because he saw our family, not just our son, as his client. Mark helped us navigate the sometimes complex and nuanced journey that our son entered as both a student and an athlete. Beginning in grade 8, Mark’s advice and guidance was thoughtful and impactful. He served to not only advise but to also motivate our son to meet the high standards needed to attend and compete at an Ivy League school. Mark took a very hands-on approach and helped our son work through the application needs of multiple universities while also helping him advocate for himself to coaches. In the end, our son was accepted at Brown University — his first choice and best fit school. He met with great success both in the classroom and on the field as a football athlete. Mark is an experienced and compassionate advisor who never hesitated to help us, as parents, to be appropriately part of the process while always keeping the needs of our son first! I strongly encourage any family going through the university admissions and selection process to use Mark. You will never be disappointed!

Mark guided my daughter through a process where she articulated the aspects of college that were most important to her. He assisted her in locating schools that met her guidelines. Together they scheduled tours and special meetings with faculty within her areas of major options. He reviewed and edited the essays that were submitted with her applications. And, most important to me, he took charge of making sure she met all deadlines for submissions and became the “nag” so that I did not have to take on that job. My daughter selected a school that was a perfect fit for her! She had an amazing four years at that university. We credit Mark for helping her find the school that was right for her. So, 3 years later, when my son was ready to apply to college, we called Mark again for assistance. Mark did the same tasks for my son. And, again, my son selected a school that is a perfect fit for him! College selection is a grueling process for the student and the parents. Mark helped to reduce the stress and make the process much easier. His knowledge of all of the schools and the admission process is amazing.

“I will always regard Donald’s incredible teaching style and personality as the key reason I was able to have great success in the college application process. When I started tutoring with Donald after my sophomore year, I was scoring in the middle to high 20’s on the ACT and having trouble with time management and certain key reading and math skills. Throughout the next year working with Donald, my standardized testing skills greatly improved. By the end of the process, I scored a 34, which was eight points above where I started. I honestly could not believe the progress I had made, which opened up another realm of schools which I had a realistic chance of getting into. After the ACT, Donald helped me build my Common Application and my subsequent successful early decision application to Brown University. Throughout the process, Donald was an incredible source of motivation and reassurance. His depth of knowledge regarding every aspect of education and life in general was inspiring. More importantly, Donald was an incredibly kind, helpful, and warm person to work with, which made a massive difference. I am so thankful for all of Donald’s help!”

Is a college admissions counselor worth it?

A college admissions counselor can be a great resource for helping you navigate the complex and confusing process of applying to college.

You may feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and advice available online, as well as the number of people offering their opinions on how best to approach your application. A college admissions counselor can help you make sense of this information, give you guidance on how to present yourself, and ensure that you are submitting all necessary materials.

How do I choose a college admissions counselor?

When looking for a college admissions counselor, there are a few key things to consider. First and foremost, you want to make sure that the counselor you choose is experienced and knowledgeable about the college admissions process. This can be determined by asking for references from other students who have worked with the counselor, or by checking their credentials and experience. Additionally, you want to find a counselor who is a good fit for you personally. This means finding someone who you feel comfortable working with, and who understands your goals and concerns. It can also be helpful to find a counselor who is familiar with the schools you are interested in, as they can provide valuable insights and advice. Ultimately, the right college admissions counselor for you is one who has the experience, knowledge, and personal approach that you are looking for.

What questions should I ask a college admissions advisor?

When meeting with a college admissions counselor, there are a few key questions you should ask to get the most out of the meeting. Some examples of questions you might want to ask include:

Can you tell me about your experience and qualifications?
What is your approach to the college admissions process?
Can you provide references from other students or families you have worked with?
What schools do you have experience with, and which ones do you think would be a good fit for me?
What are the most important things I should be doing to prepare for college admissions?
Can you provide any advice or insights about the admissions process at the schools I am interested in?

Asking these questions will help you get a better sense of the counselor's experience and approach, and can give you valuable information to help you make an informed decision about whether to work with them.

What should I expect from college admissions counseling?

A college admissions counseling service can provide a wide range of support and assistance to students who are preparing to apply to college. Some common services offered by these organizations include:

Helping students understand the college admissions process and what is required to apply to different schools
Providing advice and guidance on choosing the right schools to apply to
Assisting with the development of a college admissions strategy, including setting goals and timelines
Reviewing and providing feedback on college application essays
Helping students prepare for college admissions exams, such as the SAT or ACT
Providing support and guidance throughout the application process, including assistance with completing applications and gathering required materials

How much do college admissions consulting services cost?

The cost of college admissions consulting services can vary depending on the specific services being provided, the length of time the student works with the consultant, and other factors. In general, however, college admissions consulting services can range from a few hundred dollars for a one-time consultation to several thousand dollars for ongoing support and guidance throughout the entire admissions process. Some consulting services may also offer discounts for students with financial need, or for families who are working with multiple students at the same time. It's always a good idea to ask about cost and payment options before committing to a consulting service, to ensure that it fits your budget and needs.

When is the right time begin college counseling services?

The right time to begin college coaching services will depend on a number of factors, including the student's individual needs and goals, their current stage in the college admissions process, and the specific services being offered. In general, however, it is usually best to start working with a college coach early in the process, ideally as soon as the student begins thinking about applying to college. This can give the coach time to get to know the student and understand their goals, and to provide guidance and support throughout the entire admissions process. Starting early can also help the student avoid missing important deadlines or missing out on opportunities, and can give them the best chance of being accepted to their top choice schools.
