Meet Ellen

After many years of successful legal practice, I blended my lifelong passion for higher education and college admissions into “Ellen Roesch, Your College Coach!”

Since 2019, I have assisted over 100 students nationwide apply to colleges, universities, and graduate programs.

You may wonder why a veteran lawyer decided to become a college admissions coach. Believe me, you wouldn’t be the first person to ask the question! But when you take a closer look at the skill sets required for both jobs, and then add the unique skills and talents that I bring to the table, it’s truly a winning combination:

• Lawyers are skilled writers and editors which is a key component to the college admissions and essay writing process.
• Lawyers have extraordinary attention to detail and patience with bureaucratic challenges, part of the admissions game.
• Lawyers have excellent communication skills.
• Practicing law involves the ability to cut through red tape, track early deadlines and push successfully to a finish line. 

These skills are critical when managing differing college requirements, testing dates, interviews, tours and letters of recommendation. I am undaunted by paperwork!  Thank you for visiting my site and best of luck to all the parents and students out there searching for the right fit. I believe there is a college for every student and it’s my goal to help you find it!

I hope you will be next!

I know what a turbulent and stressful time it is and I can help ease that tension. I want students and parents to enjoy these last years of being home-senior year especially is such a poignant time of firsts and lasts and it goes so fast. Bickering over the college essay will put a damper on any family event.
