Larry Judd brings a uniquely valuable perspective to the college selection process. As a college and university recruiter for 10 years, he has personally visited more than 250 campuses in 30 states, gaining a comprehensive, multi-dimensional feel for each school environment and the specific types of kids who would thrive in it. Additionally, as an award-winning high school teacher for many years, he's accustomed to working with a large and extremely diverse mix of young adults, coaching them on how to reach their full potential and make the best possible choices about their future.

As you'll quickly discover, Larry's passion for the world of higher education is both engaging and infectious. Unlike some counselors who focus exclusively on academics alone, Larry looks at all of the different factors that lead to a highly successful college experience and then guides students, and their parents, through a proprietary selection process he's developed to determine the "right" school for each and every college-bound child. Along the way, he's able to share critical tips on how to work effectively with a school's admissions staff, how to obtain financial aid, how to choose the right major, and how to maximize the odds of obtaining academic and sports-related scholarships, if such areas are of interest.

Ultimately, more than anything else, Larry understands the complex mix of challenging emotional and financial dynamics that students and their families must navigate through when it comes time for important college planning decisions-- and he looks forward to helping you and your child build a rock-solid "game plan" for success!
