Meet Michael Lewis!
College admissions is about more than acceptance letters. We help students and families navigate college selection, applications, essays, scholarships, financial aid, and long-term success with personalized guidance every step of the way.
Unlike many independent college consultants, my experience extends far beyond admissions. As a Dean of student services, educator, and higher education leader, I've spent nearly two decades helping students navigate every stage of their academic journey from choosing the right college to graduating and launching successful careers.
With a Ph.D. in Teaching, Learning, and Culture with a concentration in STEM education, an MBA, and extensive experience working with students from diverse backgrounds, I understand both the admissions process and what it takes to succeed once you're enrolled.
At NC College Consulting, our goal isn't simply to help students get accepted. Our goal is to help students find the right fit and thrive once they get there!
