    Application Management & Strategy

  • "Matt is a very experienced admissions professional. He truly understands the ins and outs of today's complicated U.S college admission landscape. His experience working with prospective student athletes at highly selective institutions makes him ideally suited to work with strong academic students that are about to dive into the athletic recruitment process at any level."

    — Jimmie Foster, Jr., Vice President of Enrollment Planning, College of Charleston (SC)

  • “I worked with Matt in a selective college admission setting for nearly five years where Matt continuously elevated the work of our team and institution. When Matt took on the role of Athletics Liaison, he immediately forged relationships across the country with high school athletic directors, coaches, and continued to build relationships with college counselors. As a former college coach myself, Matt's knowledge of the college admission process, specifically for prospective student-athletes, is the strongest I have worked with.”

    — Hillen Grason, Jr., Vice President for Enrollment Management - Admissions and Outreach, Drexel University (PA)

  • “Matt’s knowledge of the college admission and recruiting process, especially at the more highly selective colleges, is deft, nuanced, and deeply informed by his extensive experience working in the admission business. Whoever works with Matt is in good and capable hands.”

    — Josh Bottomly, Associate Director of College Counseling, Casady School (OK)
