Overwhelmed by the college admissions process? We’ve got you. Whether you’re aiming for the Ivies or hoping for a local or state school– or anything in between, you’re in the right place. 

Welcome to College Smart Start, powered by Enlightened Admissions. I’m Jodi Furman, I’m both a seasoned college counselor and a mom of three. I have helped thousands of high schoolers and their families navigate the entirety of the college admissions process– and can make it accessible, understandable, and accomplishable.   I have my finger on the pulse of admissions and have a deep understanding on how schools evaluate and decide who to admit and who to deny. I’ve developed an effective approach that provides some welcomed sanity in the insane world of admissions. 

My goal is to educate, motivate, and help you know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it well–  whether you’re a freshman in high school or a senior in the throes of college admissions.
