A former Georgetown University admissions dean and Georgetown Day School counseling director, Barbara brings 30+ years of dual-perspective expertise.

About Me

Before founding Bergman College Consulting in 2017, Barbara Bergman spent 16 years as Director of College Counseling at Georgetown Day School, guiding students with a wide range of interests, abilities, learning differences, and financial circumstances. She's visited countless campuses and helped hundreds of students through the search and application process, approaching the work with a calm, thoughtful style and a sense of humor that helps families keep perspective.

Before Georgetown Day School, Barbara spent 15 years in undergraduate admissions at Georgetown University, rising to Associate Dean of Admissions — reading thousands of applications, chairing admissions committees, interviewing applicants, and visiting high schools around the world. That experience on both sides of the desk gives her a distinctive, strategic vantage point. She holds a B.A. from Colgate University and an M.A. from George Washington University, and finds particular satisfaction in getting to know students and helping them build and refine a college list that truly fits.
