Educational Consultant Spotlight: Stephanie Klein Wassink

Are you sure your college application is the best it can be? AdmissionsCheckup.com helps prospective college students answer that question. It offers a network of former admissions officers who do not meet the students, but instead read only the applications and offer feedback before the applications are submitted. Stephanie Klein Wassink, the founder, is a former Northwestern University admissions officer and owner of Winning Applications, a Connecticut-based college consulting firm. Stephanie saw a need in the industry to provide college applicants with an application litmus test to determine if the paper (or computer screen) alone really does the best job it can representing the student. Last year 80% of AdmissionsCheckup.com’s clients were admitted to their first-choice college.
Students are matched with a panel of three former admissions officers from their first-choice or similar overlap schools. In 24-72 hours, applications are evaluated and students are given honest and direct feedback. The former admissions officers find everything from red flags to buried gems to typos. Our readers, who have on average eight years’ admissions experience, hail from a variety of schools, including: Princeton, Bowdoin, Williams, University of North Carolina, NYU, Boston University, Pomona, Oberlin, University of Richmond, Tufts, Yale, and more. Unlike teachers, guidance counselors or parents, our readers have figuratively evaluated and made admit, deny, wait list or defer decisions on tens of thousands of applications.
Stephanie is a graduate of Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. After working in the admissions office at Northwestern University, she worked in finance on Wall Street. Stephanie has been a college consultant for nearly 20 years.
