Smarty Pants Admissions Consulting: We’ll help your child get accepted into college.

Why work with an admissions consultant?

Applying to college is exciting, but let’s face it—the process can also be complicated, stressful, and overwhelming.  Smarty Pants Admissions Consulting, founded by Alex Chernavsky, offers expert help in all aspects of the application procedure.  We can’t promise to make it effortless, of course, but we’ll use all our skills—including our educational experience and insider knowledge—to help your child get accepted into the college that provides the best fit for his or her needs.

We’re located in Rochester, NY, but we’ve worked with clients as far away as Vancouver, Canada.  The Internet allows us to be local no matter where you are.


See our special FREE introductory offer for new clients.  We’ll critique the first draft of your application essay at no charge or obligation.  Offer good through Nov. 2011.
