Why select Dr.Hagerman and Ms.Young over others?
"Knowledge + Experience + Connections = Value"
Knowledge of independent schools
Both have served decades on the campuses of highly selective schools. They understand how and why admissions committees make decisions.
Admission Experience
They have worked in the admissions trenches reading and assessing applications, deliberating and discussing candidates during committee meetings, and ultimately being responsible for the shaping of classes and schools.
Ultimate Value
Their first-hand knowledge and experience in the art & science of secondary school admissions is invaluable to students and families in submitting the strongest applications possible for position outcomes. Dr. Hagerman and Ms. Young are excited to independently counsel families on finding the right fit school because they know how transformational the boarding school/independent day school experience is. They simplify and guide families through what can be an overwhelming process.
Established Connections:
Their reputation, based on their years of experience and tenure, has clout with admissions professionals at independent schools.
