It was most important to me to select a college advisor who is knowledgeable in their field, reliable and affordable. Fortunately, the Conscious College Admissions Program ticked all those boxes and allowed me to refine my applications in under two months. Dr. Malaney-Brown has helped me tremendously and has prioritised all of my unanswered questions to ensure that I was well-informed for the entirety of the process.
From fine-tuning my resume to editing my essays and even offering me scholarship/college selection advice, I was confident in the quality and strength of my applications. As a result, I got accepted to two of my schools, with scholarships for both, and I am currently deciding where I am heading this fall. Overall, I will undoubtedly recommend college guidance from Dr. Malaney-Brown at Conscious College Consulting, as you will receive the best expertise when making decisions for your next academic endeavour."

"As a participant of the Conscious College Consulting Program, I can confidently say that the advising program is a valuable investment that provides students with essential skills for a smooth and successful transition from high school to college.
During the end of my senior year of high-school, I was excited yet equally nervous thinking about college. It was going to be a completely new atmosphere, away from my home, family, friends and everything I had known for the past 18 years. When I met with Dr. Malaney-Brown for a preview meeting of her program, I understood that her program addressed many of the concerns I had as a soon-to-be-college freshman. Her insights encouraged me to join the program, and I’m glad that I did.
Through the one-on-one advising sessions, Dr. Malaney-Brown provided me with personalized academic planning, helping me stay organized. She gave me tips on using my calendar to keep track of important dates. She suggested that I put important dates into my calendar, including my class-times, test/quiz dates, and holidays. This approach helped me plan ahead of time and visualize which weeks were going to be more work-heavy than others. As the sessions progressed, Dr. Malaney-Brown provided me useful tips to succeed in my fall semester. I received tips on time management, such as using the Pomodoro method and setting personal deadlines ahead of the official ones. Most importantly, when I was found struggling with one particular class, she encouraged me to reach out to my professor. Compared to my other classes, I felt like I was spending excessive time in this class, which made balancing work from my other classes difficult at times. Meeting with my teacher, as Dr. Malaney-Brown suggested, was very beneficial. It helped me feel more confident in my academic abilities and helped me realize that learning new material can take more time and effort than others.
I am incredibly grateful to have been able to participate in this program and for all the support I have received. I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Brown; she is approachable, flexible, and always makes herself available when needed. Dr. Malaney-Brown motivates students to see the best versions of themselves and encourages them to have a positive mindset. I would strongly recommend this advising program to any student who is anxious about this new transition in their life and wants to make the most out of their college experience. "

"Dr. Malaney-Brown was extremely helpful. She gave me amazing advice on adjusting to college, being confident in myself, and learning time management. She helped me apply for scholarships which I didn’t know existed for college students. Together we went through what services are offered by my school and how to utilize them. Overall I would highly recommend this program because I learned so many new skills and how to get the most out of my college experience from working with Dr. Malaney-Brown."

"Victoria was very helpful in guiding my student through the college process starting with adapting to college life, expectations and how to settle into "a new norm" when my student had to suddenly transfer Victoria was right by their side helping to make the transition as easy as possible. Her invaluable communication and advise was right on target and my student benefited by all her knowledge. My student has definitely benefitted by this service and working weekly with Victoria. Victoria had a set itinerary of things to go over each week but also took the time to listen to my students concerns and help her navigate those issues. Victoria always had information on hand and her follow up and knowledge proved to be a huge asset. We highly recommend her services to any student starting college, struggling academically or socially. She truly has all the answers! I would not hesitate to hire her again if I had another child going thru the process." - Dana Topper (Parent, Conscious College Success Program)
