Muffy Marracco

I love that this field allows me to work with college-bound high schoolers. I recall my own anxiety at that age, and I strive to allay those fears as a guide through the byzantine process of applications. As the years have passed, I now understand the concerns of parents, too.

More About Me

Muffy was a fantastic college admissions advisor. Her personalized approach made all the difference. She took the time to get to know me, my kindling aspirations, weaknesses, and strengths, allowing us to craft a compelling strategy specific to the universities that held my interest. Her knowledge of hundreds of universities, advice on choosing the right schools, and crafting a standout essay were instrumental. Most importantly, I felt believed in throughout the whole process! Muffy has an electric personality! She knows when to bring enthusiasm and patience to this quite stressful process.

More About Me

My Background

I started my college counseling career as a volunteer, helping students craft personal statements. From there, I spent over a decade tutoring test prep (including the SAT, ACT, APs, ISEE, HSPT, and SSAT) and offering academic support.

Outside of the Office

In addition to my work as a tutor and educational consultant, I am an avid trivia enthusiast. I have appeared as a contestant on various trivia game shows. I have even been a series regular on the Game Show Network program “Master Minds,” where I play as a trivia expert. I write and host my own quizzes on TikTok and Instagram. I absolutely adore learning (and remembering) fun facts.

I am the proud rescuer of two dogs: Rex and Baloney Sandwich.
