Meet Patti Miller
Want a FREE consultation?
Sign Up“Above and beyond” is a phrase often thrown around, but in Patti’s case, it’s a motto. As a Yale alumna, she served as an interviewer for prospective students, and while earning her MBA from The Wharton School, she helped students as an admission office application evaluator. Not stopping there, she earned certification in college counseling from UCLA, and then served as an intern college counselor to high school students in the Roslyn Union Free School District.
No matter the role, Patti is a consummate professional, self-proclaimed lifelong learner, and always goes the extra mile. In her past, entrepreneurial life as a management consultant for McKinsey & Company, as the owner of a consulting business for startups, and more recently, as the director of marketing for a professional training and coaching company, one thing is clear: Patti values the process of learning and growing from experiences—which gives an “above-and-beyond” edge to her students and families navigating the college admissions process.

What are people saying about Collegewise?
We signed up for the senior program, and in hindsight, we would’ve definitely been with Col-legewise the entire four years! To those who balk at the program fee, the biggest investment a parent will make besides a major home purchase (nowadays, it might rival one in the Mid-west!) deserves some expertise!

Collegewise helped me find the dream school I didn’t even know existed, and then gave me the tools to create my best application possible.

I don’t know how I would have gone through this process without Collegewise! Collegewise gave me such realistic advice when choosing colleges. I LOVE COLLEGEWISE!

Collegewise provides superior resources that are essential to your child’s college decision, and there is no better way to prepare (and then guide) your student in the college selection pro-cess. Collegewise is the first step in the right direction, and without question a great decision for our family.

I’m thrilled with the options Juliana has for college now. She was accepted by almost all the universities she applied to. It was a good problem to have to pick one of the acceptances. I’m really glad that I had Collegewise to help us out–it was sure worth it, and I recommend Col-legewise to all my friends.

No matter what the time of day, Collegewise was always available for application “emergen-cies” or last-minute edits on essays and supplements. With Collegewise’s help, I got into 11 out of the 12 schools I applied to, including my dream school, USC!
