This week, get to know Nancy - she's a sister and a sister-in-law, but not blood related to Stephanie or Michelle. She's a lawyer, marathoner, philanthropist, long time Cornell CAAAN volunteer, and now, revered private college admissions counselor and coach.

EVERYTHING has changed.
If you feel as if the college application  process has turned into a free-for-all, Nancy tells how she and her partner Beth  remove the chaos and anxiety and adapt to a very different environment. By embracing and empowering the students they work with, they have successfully helped place all of them on the campuses that make them happiest - for ten years!

Lots for all of us to learn when she gives feedback to our personal statement topic ideas.

Also important to note is that she may have spent quiet time in Steph and Michelle's sorority bedroom.

Don't you love it when everything works out exactly as it should? 

2 ILRies, not on campus at the same time, crossed paths in their professional lives, got married, and the rest is history.

Actually, it's not that simple. 

In a When Harry Met Sally type interview, Aron and Nancy tell their story, test their knowledge in the Newlywed Game, and prove that the ILR school is a well oiled machine.
