So You’re An Artist?

Let’s Talk.

Throughout her 20 years in higher education and college counseling, Sarah has worked with students with every interest in the book. She has also accrued a sub-speciality in the process of applying to schools for dance, visual art, film, creative writing, acting, musical theater, and music. Whether you are interested in a conservatory or art school, hope to double major or minor in your art form, need help identifying schools with rich artistic atmospheres, or seek suggestions for how your creative interests can set your applications apart, Sarah is here to help! She will draw on her years of combined experience at The Juilliard School, NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Brandeis University, and Walnut Hill School for the Arts to demystify this complex process and, most importantly, help you determine how you’d like to pursue your passion for the arts in college and beyond. Sarah’s students have been admitted to the world’s top conservatories, art schools, and dance companies, and they’ve also used their art as supplemental components for applications to liberal arts colleges and research universities.
