About Us
Our Story
Barbara Connolly’s clients come to her at one of the most stressful times of their lives: when they’re applying to college.
As a parent of four children she helped through high school and college, Barbara knows what an intense process it is for both students and parents. That’s partly why she started College Choice Counseling® more than 20 years ago.
What began as a kitchen table-based referral business has grown into a full-scale company, with a team of over 25 professional college counselors and tutors. Her students have been accepted to schools like Michigan, Michigan Ross, UCLA, Harvard, MIT, and many others.
CollegeCC offers expert tutors for numerous academic subjects for high school and college-level courses, SAT/ACT prep, essay writing, resume preparation, in addition to college application assistance.
Barbara and CollegeCC’s holistic approach to educational consulting makes the company unique in the field.
Barbara’s qualifications set her apart, too. She is a lawyer, professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, former admissions reader at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and the only Certified Educational Planner in Michigan.
What We Offer
College Choice Counseling® provides college admission counseling services. An expert college advisor is assigned to each student. The college counselor explains the college admission process to the student. Based on an assessment of the student’s record and other factors, the expert counselor then helps the student create a college list. Finally, the college counselor helps the student create compelling applications, which includes helping them write impressive essays.
