Welcome to schoolbuff.com, a website for students (and parents) who would like to tackle college planning calmly, strategically, and systematically. I consider myself a school buff, i.e., an individual who is interested in and knowledgeable about colleges. This site reflects the philosophy and priorities I have formed over many years as a consultant, writer, and trainer.
I have three goals in my practice. They are as follows . . .

ENCOURAGE

students to discover colleges that are a match for them, in the sense of both getting in and fitting in

SHARE RESOURCES

to guide students, parents, and counselors past the fallacy of the “dream school”

HELP YOUNG PEOPLE

gain the self-knowledge needed to undertake a more realistic and ultimately more rewarding approach to college search and admission
The philosophy of practice, resources, worksheets/self-assessments, and other information you find here reflect my consultation work with my clients. I hope they spark new ideas and considerations for you and your family.
