Founder of Ma'ayanot High School's college guidance department and later Personalized College Consulting, Abbie helps students build confidence while insisting every essay stays entirely their own.

About Me

Abbie Rabin has guided students through the college process since 1998, when she founded the Department of College Guidance at Ma'ayanot High School in Teaneck, New Jersey — work the school recognized for both serving individual students and representing Ma'ayanot professionally to colleges nationwide. After completing the Independent Educational Consultant Certificate Program at UC Irvine, she founded Personalized College Consulting in 2013.

Abbie began her career teaching economic statistics at the college level, holding a BA in Economics from Barnard and an MA and MPhil in economics and health economics from Columbia — but found her true calling in college counseling. A professional member of IECA and NACAC, she helps students build confidence and make sound, well-informed choices, staying closely connected with admissions officers nationwide. She doesn't write essays for students — every application is the student's own work, and she takes pride in helping them find their voice.
