Monica Meng
Independent College Counselor and Founder of Educated Pathways
I've been helping students successfully navigate the college application process for over a decade.
I know the college app process can feel like a moving target.
Recognizing that many students don't have access to college counseling, I developed a more accessible and affordable option, giving them the flexibility to work at their own pace while still receiving the guidance they need to stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed during the college application process.
My goal is to help students and parents confidently manage the college application journey together!
Program Promise
I promise to direct you and your teen to the most reliable college application tools, all in one place.
Whether it's simplifying tricky forms or planning your personal statement, I’m committed to guiding you through a journey that transforms and clarifies the college application process.
Let's work together to make sure your teen is ready for college, feels good about it, and understands each step confidently as we navigate the path to their college success.
