As a college planning consultant, I assist students throughout the college admissions process in order to create competitive applications. My name is Dr. Leslie Tucker, and I am the owner of Virtual College Consulting and an associate member of the Independent Educational Consulting Association. With years of experience attending college tours, networking with admissions representatives, and editing various types of essays, I am passionate about guiding students through the college planning process.
I approach my work with a holistic perspective, recognizing that today's college admissions are multifaceted and include academic rigor, intellectual curiosity, depth in activities, and a commitment to learning. By working systematically with my students, we can ensure they become highly competitive applicants with a compelling edge, including strong essays that demonstrate their character, values, and life experiences that align with their selected institutions.
Whether a student is focused on highly selective schools or simply finding the best fit college at an affordable price, I am dedicated to helping all of my students earn valuable merit-based scholarships. Additionally, I encourage exploration of majors and career paths to ensure students feel confident and excited about their future. Ultimately, my goal is to help students find a college that aligns with their strengths and interests, providing them the tools to succeed and thrive during their undergraduate years.

My experience with Dr. Tucker as a college consultant has been exceptional! Over the course of one year, I have communicated with her through Zoom meetings, emails, and text messages. Dr. Tucker has been instrumental in helping me craft my personal statement and supplemental essays for college. Her prompt responses and thorough feedback have been extremely beneficial in improving my essays. Additionally, she is always available to answer any questions I may have and is very easy to reach. I am grateful to have her as my consultant and appreciate her continued support even after I graduated high school and entered college.

She possesses remarkable organizational skills, provides thorough guidance and offers tremendous assistance. Dr. Tucker is always available to speak to me and listens attentively to my ideas. She is a source of comfort, a resourceful mentor and ensures that deadlines are met.

Investing in Dr. Tucker's services was undoubtedly worthwhile! My daughter was able to secure admissions to her top three universities: NYU, BU, and Bentley, all thanks to Dr. Tucker. Eventually, we chose Bentley, as the $120,000 scholarship was too good to pass up. I sincerely appreciate Dr. Tucker's guidance during the chaos of college applications.
