PROFESSIONALLY
QUALIFIED

With higher education undergraduate and graduate degrees coupled with experience working in the university setting, Mary and Renee are uniquely qualified to work with high school students in their pursuit of an outstanding college education.

MEET THE ADVISORS

We met over 35 years ago at the University of Massachusetts as undergraduate students and kept in touch over the years as we pursued individual careers in higher education.  During this past decade we combined our expertise and knowledge to develop a college advising program we believe will help our clients manage the best possible outcomes for their college admissions.  We are so excited to work with you and your family to make this process, which at times can seem quite overwhelming, one that is simple, easy and exciting and successful! We look forward to meeting you soon!

We are truly grateful to Mary and College Quest Advising for the professional and personal service we all received, especially in the current environment of college applications.

Harvard University, Class of 2017

You've been an invaluable resource and I can't thank you enough for all the help you provided me when applying to Harvard. You're a big part of why I'm here and I couldn't have done it without your guidance.

MADELINE
​
University of Michigan, Class of 2017

We could not have gotten through this process and to this point without Renée Serrano and College Quest Advising. At first, the whole undertaking seemed so overwhelming and daunting...
