About

Gretchen Weigel Doughty

Gretchen was super helpful at bringing out my strengths to put my best foot forward for colleges. She is really knowledgeable about the college process, and you can’t go wrong by working with her. -- Admitted to Haverford

I came to college advising when my own daughter went through the process. Even as a college professor, I was surprised how involved the process was, how much guidance was needed and how much it had all changed over the decades. In this hyper-competitive environment, students need to find a way to stand out with a compelling narrative. Who better to help with this type of creative direction than a theatre professor?!  My work as a professor and as a professional in theatre, film and advertising has proved an excellent foundation for successful guidance in the college admissions arena. Since then, I have helped several students to admissions at a range of reach, target and likely schools allowing them to choose the best fit among great options.

​

I personally have studied at a small liberal arts college, a large state university and at Oxford University, and I have children studying at T10/Ivy League schools, so I see value in a wide variety of campus experiences. I am the parent of students from two different STEM magnet programs (and a STEM kid myself), I am a classically trained singer and parent to a classically trained instrumentalist, and I have helped recruited student athletes and worked with professional athletes on communication skills. I would love to apply my breadth of experiences to help you through this process.
