As the founder of E. Wolper, Inc. Admissions Consulting, I’ve spent over 25 years offering highly personalized, one-on-one guidance to students and families navigating the college and graduate admissions process. Drawing on my experience as a former Columbia University admissions officer, I provide each client with tailored strategies designed to maximize their potential for admission to highly selective institutions.Key Responsibilities:· Individualized consulting for both domestic and international applicants, guiding them through every step of the admissions journey - from thoughtfully navigating high school and identifying colleges and universities that fit to perfecting personal statements and preparing for interviews.· Guided strategic approach to the admissions process that highlights each student’s unique strengths, passions, and academic potential, ensuring that applications stand out to selective and highly-selective colleges.· Provide insight into the admissions process, informed by my experience at Columbia University and years of consulting, to demystify selection criteria and offer expert advice on how to approach competitive application pools.· Mentor students in discovering and pursuing their academic and extracurricular interests, encouraging them to find balance and growth throughout the process.· Maintain memberships with leading professional associations (NACAC and AIGAC) to stay at the forefront of admissions trends and best practices.· Frequently lecture, lead workshops, and serve on panels discussing college and graduate admissions.By working with a limited number of students each year, I ensure that every client receives thoughtful, tailored guidance, allowing them to approach the admissions process with confidence and clarity.In addition to my comprehensive approach, stand-alone Strategy Sessions are available.

As a member of the Board of the Morris Educational Foundation (MEF), I serve my local community. I sit on the Grants and Scholarship committees, both of which connect deeply and directly with my knowledge and passions. Through my participation in this organization, I am able to draw upon my professional experience to support my local school district and our students.

As an Admissions Officer at Columbia University, I had the privilege of serving Columbia College, the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and Columbia Business School. During my tenure, I reviewed thousands of applications and served on numerous selection committees, gaining invaluable insights into what top-tier schools look for in candidates. This experience created the foundation for my admissions consulting practice, where I now guide students through the process from the other side of the table.
