“When it comes to college admissions, Chris Teare has been there, done that, and seen it all. No one else I know can match his breadth of knowledge and experience as a high school college counselor, college admissions officer, journalist and savvy adviser to people who write college guides. I’m looking forward to when I can sit him down, buy him a beer and get him going on his college admissions war stories.”
Ted Fiske, Editor, the Fiske Guide to Colleges
“Chris Teare is a confirmed KEEPER in my book! He and I have been colleagues for years and as such I’ve known him as a college counselor, college guru, advisory board member, writer, reporter and all-around expert on all things college admissions. Though all of that experience is admirable, the thing that sets Chris apart is good old fashioned in-your-corner student advocacy. It’s so deeply impressive because it’s effortless for Chris. He can’t see his role as anything other than that. I’m deeply grateful that Chris is in our world.”
Rob Franek, Editor in Chief,

“I have known Chris Teare for more than 20 years. We first met when he invited me to talk about selective college admissions to his students. He impressed me then and throughout our professional relationship as a strong student advocate. Chris knows college admissions through and through, college admissions officers across the country, and they know him! His decades of experience in the field makes him uniquely qualified to work with today’s students and their parents to find the right college fit. Chris is extremely thorough in his work and is a persuasive writer in his own right who can help students focus on what is important in the college essay, and he can guide students and parents through a complex process to yield optimal results. Plus, he is one of the most likable professionals I know. To me, partnering with Chris Teare on the college admissions journey is a winning strategy.”
