Wade takes time to understand each student’s unique set of intellect and personality at play during choice making. He involves students and parents in the application process, and the range of options remains vibrant with high probability, much more than an educated wish list.

Wade Peterson sets the bar for college counseling professionals. He has a command not only for recalling crucial data about post-secondary learning opportunities, but also for articulating said information clearly. I have observed on countless occasions how Wade engages individuals–teenagers, parents, and colleagues–with his understanding of the college selection process and of an individual’s needs. His joy of understanding people and the world around them is infectious. I recommend Wade to any applicant seeking a personable, knowledgeable, and patient professional to guide her to the school that best suits her.
