What Sets Us Apart

The day a student begins college is one of life’s brightline days — a day clearly distinguished from the day before.

At Brightline Admissions we understand the importance of this milestone in your family’s life.

With a track record of excellence, Brightline Admissions helps students thrive

Whether your student is just beginning to consider future options as a rising junior, rounding the corner towards senior year, or a current college student seeking a better fit, Brightline Admissions can bring ease and expertise to the daunting process.

Unlike many consultants, Brightline Admissions recognizes that not all families start the process early and is committed to serving high school seniors. In fact, these students comprise a major portion of our business. The process is compressed, but is still extremely effective.

Regardless of your entry point, we offer a highly personalized approach, customized to meet your student however he or she works best. Getting the essay component right – reflecting your student’s values and voice – is perhaps the most valuable service we provide and the one most consistently appreciated by students.

Nancy Ikenberry has visited over 140 college campuses, both in the United States & abroad

The college landscape is more than a point of interest for Nancy - it’s her home. With college communities serving as her backyard in several different states, Nancy knows colleges from the inside and uniquely understands the idea of institutional priorities and the various programs and resources available to students.

Visiting campuses allows her to get to know institutions intimately, giving her the opportunity to provide students with an inside look to campus life, before they even schedule a visit.
