About International College Counselors:

International College Counselors was born out of the frustration that friends and family of Mandee Heller Adler, the Founder and Partner, experienced while trying to help their children navigate the often-confusing college admissions process.

As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Business School, recipient of a fellowship from the Rotary International to study at ICADE, a premier business school in Madrid, Spain, and recipient of approximately $60,000 in scholarship aid, Adler was the go-to person for assistance with reviewing college and scholarship applications, essay and resume writing, and targeting the best colleges to attend. As friends told their friends about their students’ college acceptances, Adler decided to use her personal expertise and knowledge to start a business that helped students with the stressful process.

In 2004, Adler founded International College Counselors to provide expert strategies for admission to undergraduate colleges, graduate programs, business schools, law schools, medical schools, dental schools and other postgraduate schools. Adler’s first client gained acceptance into Dartmouth; since then, Adler brought on partner, Barry N. Liebowitz, and a team of expert college advisors around the world who have helped thousands of students get into the schools of their dreams.

International College Counselors has set a new standard in the college advising business through a personal, one-on-one approach. With competition for acceptance to colleges and universities at an all-time high, International College Counselors advisors have found this to be the most effective way of maximizing a student’s potential. A one-on-one approach also allows the counselors to get to know each student; his or her strengths, weaknesses and passions; and his or her family. This holistic evaluation gives the college advisors the insight they need to match individuals with the best possible schools. Advisors at International College Counselors have collectively visited over 200 colleges and universities. They have expertise working with students of all backgrounds including Ivy League-bound students, student-athletes, fine art majors, international students, students with special needs and students who are the first one in their family to go to college.

Services for students include creating detailed plans for coursework and extracurricular activities; identifying colleges to which the student will consider applying and visiting; establishing test schedules and exploring test preparation strategies; preparing for interviews and campus visits; advising on essay and resume writing; reviewing, providing feedback and strengthening college applications; and exploring financial aid goals, strategies and options. Students typically start working with International College Counselors around 9th or 10th grade, but other students have started as early as 7th grade.
