About Me

Chris Tamis, founder of Expedition Admissions Consulting, builds a structured, financially accessible strategy for each student by combining research, personal preference, family finances, and his own admissions expertise. His guidance covers everything from high school course selection and testing strategy to essay topics, NCAA recruiting, and comparing financial aid packages once acceptances arrive.

True to the firm's tagline — "guiding you through the college admissions process" — Chris emphasizes building mutual trust and self-reflection rather than hand-holding, offering everything from comprehensive planning to à la carte services like essay speed-reads or FAFSA prep. He holds a B.B.A. from Hofstra University and a certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from UC Irvine, is a retired Suffolk County Police Supervisor, a New York State certified Safe Boating Instructor, and an IECA Associate member.
