bio

Marcy Cowan has been helping college-bound students find their perfect college since 1999. Her interest in the area of educational consulting began as a volunteer opportunity at the Atlanta International School. Marcy’s two daughters were students at AIS, and word got around that Marcy interviewed applicants for Georgetown University, her undergraduate alma mater. Correctly assuming that she knew something about the college admissions process, many families asked Marcy for guidance. Over time, a large part of her clientele were international families, primarily Spanish, French and German, who did not understand the admission process or financial aid at American colleges. Demystifying the system for both U.S. and international families is highly gratifying for Marcy, who is a fluent French speaker and also well versed in European universities.

About Me


Marcy graduated from George Washington University School of Law, and practiced federal and state regulatory law for major multinationals for over 30 years in the Washington, D.C. and Atlanta areas. She particularly enjoys helping students with their personal statements and essays, as she is a storyteller and freelance writer. She is an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association. Her students love working with her for her warmth, caring, practicality and knowledge.

Marcy’s late husband, Keith, was a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and GW law school classmate. Marcy has helped her own children find their proper places at Oxford College, Emory University, Bennington College, and Colgate University.
