I’m Lisa McLaughlin, M.Ed.

ENGLISH TEACHER TURNED COLLEGE READINESS COORDINATOR, APPLICATION READER, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SPEAKER AND EXPERT COLLEGE ADMISSIONS STRATEGIST.

Whew. That’s a mouthful.

Here’s what you need to know.

After more than 2 decades working in college admission, I left the rat race.

Why?

What I was being asked to do was WAY out of alignment with my values.

I saw what the process often did to families.

I saw the pressure it was putting on our teen's mental health. Pushing them to rack up more credentials in their 17 years than most of us have as adults. (Am I right?!)

And I felt like my role was adding to the mania that has become college admissions (Gulp).

And I hated that. So I left.

Now, as the founder and CEO of The Admissions Formula, I lead with my values & do the right thing.

For me. (That means dishing out the raw truth every single day with a whole lot of candour & a big dose of compassion.)

For the 1000s of families with whom I’ve worked. (That means helping their teens find and get accepted to their perfect fit colleges without drowning in pressure or stress. R-E-L-I-E-F!)

For my own high school senior. (That means actually using the strategies I teach with my own kid! And guess what? They work!)

…and they will for you, too. Our paths have crossed for a reason–(I really believe that) so let’s connect!
