ABOUT                               

Judy Bailey brings a unique perspective to college counseling. She has experienced the college admissions process as a parent of three (all graduates of UCLA)     and as a high school educator for the past 16 years. Having been Corona del Mar High School's college counselor in Newport Beach from 2000-2004 and San Clemente High School's college and career advisor from 1994-2000, Mrs. Bailey assists students as an independent college consultant throughout greater  Orange County, San Diego, and Los Angeles.

Mrs. Bailey's goal is to provide the best admissions counseling possible. Judy completed UC San Diego's first-year College Admission Counseling program in 1996, the advanced program in 1998, and the Specialized Certificate and 130-hour practicum in 1999. Mrs. Bailey was a participant in the Summer Institute on College Admissions, sponsored by Harvard University and the College Board in 2000. Mrs. Bailey recognizes that acquiring the knowledge to help students make informed decisions is a priority, so she makes it a point to visit and assess college campuses throughout the United States, meet with college admissions personnel, and attend regional conferences each year.

Mrs. Bailey has trained and mentored new college counselors and has presented seminars on navigating     the admissions process for parents and students the     past 16 years. She is a professional member of the Independent Educational  Consultants Association (IECA), National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), and Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC).
