Kate Manire considers college advising a perfect synthesis of her passions: mentorship and writing.
An undergraduate and graduate admissions advisor since 2012, she has helped hundreds of students get into their dream schools, including Cornell, Swarthmore, NYU, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and many more. Kate is passionate about mentoring bright young students and helping them write about their passions, including robotics, engineering, physics, math, theater, art, and social justice. Central to her practice is pushing students to delve deeper into their personal narratives and finding their core values and interests, yielding authentic, compelling essays.
When she’s not helping her student craft their best application narratives, Kate is a painter in Brooklyn. She watches more trashy TV than she’d care to admit, and given an opening, she will probably tell you about her one-eyed cat, Sammy.
