About Me

Benjamin Caldarelli has spent over 20 years as an educator who sees the college admissions process as a genuine opportunity for students to build intellectual vitality, emotional intelligence, and character. Since 2009, he's helped more than 600 students navigate highly selective admissions, known for challenging conventional counseling approaches with customized plans for entrepreneurial, STEM-focused, artistic, and undecided students alike.

After a decade as Co-Founder and Chief Educational Strategist at Princeton College Consulting, Benjamin now runs a boutique, concierge-level consultancy, writes The Citizen Scholar Newsletter, leads workshops, and speaks at private events. A graduate of the University of Illinois with an MA in English from Northern Illinois University and training from the Harvard Institute on College Admissions, he's a professional member of NACAC and HECA. In his spare time, he's chasing scratch golf and browsing neighborhood bookstores, cappuccino in hand.
