A New York Times-acclaimed author and Princeton alumni interviewer, Samantha loves watching students discover they have something worth writing about.

About Me


Samantha Walravens has worked with high school students on college admissions for over 25 years, drawing on her experience as a Princeton alumni admissions interviewer to help students identify their gifts and present themselves in a genuine, compelling way to admissions officers.

A journalist and New York Times-acclaimed author, Samantha's favorite part of the work is helping students brainstorm and develop essays that feel completely their own — watching a student go from "I have nothing interesting to say" to "I never knew I could write about this!" is one of the most rewarding parts of her job. She's a member of NACAC.
