RAPAPORT CONSULTING

Welcome

Rapaport Consulting provides comprehensive college and curriculum advising to high school students.

We are dedicated to helping each high school student identify and successfully apply to colleges where they will thrive – colleges with the best possible match to each student’s personal qualities and career goals.

Let us help you find your perfect fit.

We work with families to determine:

Best Academic Fit: Where will you learn best?
Best Social Fit: Where will you be happiest outside the classroom?
Best Financial Fit: Where will the cost of attendance match your budget?

Our guiding philosophy is that students are most likely to succeed at schools where academic fit, social fit, and financial fit overlap.

At Rapaport Consulting, we recognize that the college search, selection, and application process is entwined with each student’s process of self-discovery. Our customized approach focuses on the unique needs and aspirations of our clients. Rapaport Consulting provides professional expertise to support and guide the student at every step along the path, from choosing high school learning opportunities through enrolling in college.

Wherever you are on the journey, a freshman or sophomore just beginning to think about college, a junior about to embark on the college search, or a senior ready to apply, we’re here to help you navigate a smooth course.

Whether you are an unschooler, an eclectic homeschooler, or someone who favors a school-at-home approach, Rapaport Consulting provides personalized guidance and expertise on high school learning and college admissions.

Services We Provide

Because each student’s path to college is unique, Rapaport Consulting creates a personalized action plan tailored to each student’s needs. We work one-on-one, supporting students through the process of self-discovery.

Endorsements

When my daughter decided to transfer out of public high school following her sophomore year. Barbara supported both of us, answering our questions and offering suggestions of how we might proceed with my daughter’s education to insure that she remained a strong candidate for college admission. I am grateful for her advice and guidance and highly recommend her services to any homeschooling family looking for support during the high school years.

I’m so glad to have had someone as supportive as you guide me through the college admission process. Through it all, I was able to learn so much about myself. I am really looking forward to the next four years of my life at Swarthmore and all of the opportunities that will ensue. Once again, thank you so much for helping me make it happen!

—P.T., student

When it came time to apply to colleges, Barbara was the primary reason I made it. She helped me choose my schools, fill out the common app, and write all of my essays. Her knowledge of the application process is immense and her assistance is indispensable.
