(Newswire.net — April 9, 2014) Los Angeles, CA — Lanita Foley, a top college admission expert who has helped hundreds of students gain admission to the most prestigious U.S. colleges, is being recognized for her rare and extraordinary service. This week she will receive the Stanford Associates Award of Merit.
Each year, Stanford Associates, a Stanford Alumni organization founded in 1939, presents Awards of Merit to recognize exceptional individuals for their commitment to volunteer service. Established in 1975, the Awards are selected by Stanford Associates’ Board of Governors. This year, the award is to be bestowed on Foley on the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, CA on April 12, 2014 for her work in marshaling diverse parts of Boston to come together in the name of love and community support.
“It’s a real honor to be recognized,” shares Foley. “I love what I do and I get real joy out of giving back.”
Foley is a well-regarded admissions expert and consultant with intimate knowledge from both sides of the admissions desk. She is a former Assistant Director of Admission at Stanford and a former Associate Director of College Counseling at Phillips Academy (Andover, MA).
Now, through her company, Where Success Blooms, she helps students get admitted to top universities in the United States and around the world. She shares, “It is a joy to help students find a great fit but also help them to stand out and get in. There’s nothing better than exchanging a high-five when I help a student get into a dream college.”
“I could rest easier knowing that my son and daughter were in great hands with Lanita Foley,” says busy CEO Cynthia Tsai, “Seeing my son high-five Lanita when he was admitted to his top choice was wonderful. We would not have been able to do this without her.”
When asked about the secret to her success, Foley shares that she is able to provide a deep understanding of the ever-changing high school and college admission process. “I am intimately familiar with the process and know how to tailor proven strategies that have been successful for thousands. I also keep all of my student’s individual needs at the forefront of my mind. I love watching students blossom and succeed.” It’s just one of the elements that helps her clients stand out – and ultimately, get into a dream school.
