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

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.

I appreciate how this field asks me to learn, research, and think. From touring college campuses to professional conferences to online symposia, there is always something for me to discover. Also, I value the importance of this information as the landscape of admissions is constantly changing.

I have achieved and maintain an Associate membership in the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and membership in the Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC) and abide by their ethical standards.

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.
