Hey, I’m Ari Schwartz. I’m a college admissions consultant and life coach with a six year track record of deeply connecting with and empowering hundreds of young adults to unlock their intellectual and creative potential. I hold a B.A. in Economics and Radio, Television & Film from Northwestern University, and I also have a deep interest in mindfulness practices.

I’m driven by a singular ethic: restore calm to young adults subject to the thousand and one stressors of the high school and college academic pressure cookers, and thus create space for each one to tap into their inner passion, cultivate expertise, and lead a mindful life of depth and engagement.

Operating from within that space, young adults are in choice: with the university they attend, the company they work for, and the direction in which they steer their lives. Here are a few of those past choices.
