Kylie Dowling
Senior Private Counselor
Kylie spent more than a decade in highly selective admissions, including as Director of Recruitment at Johns Hopkins, so she knows how top schools find and choose their students. Trained as a leadership coach, she brings warmth and steadiness to students navigating one of the more pressurized moments of their lives.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
With thousands of colleges to choose from, building a college list can quickly become overwhelming. How do you move beyond rankings and name recognition to identify schools that truly match a student’s academic interests, learning style, campus preferences, and goals?
Join Top Tier Admissions for a strategic webinar on how to build a thoughtful, balanced college list. We’ll cover how to evaluate fit across academics, campus culture, size, location, cost, and learning environment; how to research colleges more effectively; and how to think realistically about reach, target, and likely schools as a student’s profile develops.
We’ll also discuss how campus visits, virtual programming, demonstrated interest, and conversations with current students can help families refine their choices and avoid common mistakes.
Families will leave with a practical framework for moving from an overwhelming universe of options to a focused list of colleges where a student can genuinely thrive.
A recording of the webinar will be sent to all registrants after the event.
