I’m Barbra Rosenstein, and I believe that college should be a launchpad for success--not just a checkbox on a to-do list.With a background in experiential education and psychology, I’ve spent over a decade helping students, including those with unique learning styles, find colleges where they’ll thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Clear College Choices, my goal is simple: Take the stress out of college planning by offering personalized guidance, expert insights, and a career-focused approach.
In 2014 I earned my certification in College Admissions and Career Planning through UC Berkeley Extension and launched Clear College Choices. I am a member of several professional organizations including Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA), The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), and WOW College Essay Community. I attend annual conferences and visit college campuses to stay current in the field.
When I’m not working with students, you’ll find me hiking, reading, or traveling—because I believe that the best learning experiences happen both in and outside the classroom.
