Claymon Consulting

I have known Deborah Claymon for more than 10 years, since I hired her to read applications at Stanford. She is the epitome of what an independent counselor ought to be: smart, energetic, realistic, well-informed, direct, and thorough. She understands not only the nuances of the selective admissions world, but also the broader purposes of education.
She will not "get you in", but she will help you "get yourself in" to the right schools for you.

— Jon Reider, College Counselor, San Francisco University High School, and Former Associate Dean, Stanford University

Colleges are flooded with record numbers of applicants, a skyrocketing increase that will peak in 2010.

College-bound seniors apply to triple the number of schools they targeted a decade ago. But 80 percent of these additional applications go to only the most selective and popular schools, resulting in even greater competition.

To achieve success in today’s crowded admission marketplace, applicants must strategize for college earlier in high school, develop a well-matched list of schools, strongly consider early application options and put their very best into the application.
