Sarah Turner
College Counselor
Sarah Turner may have racked up some equestrian awards back in the day, but she doesn’t horse around when it comes to admissions. As Director of Admission at two independent schools in New England, she's reviewed and analyzed thousands of admission and financial aid applications, managed admissions committees, and liaised with Board members. In her role as interim college counselor at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA, she advised and shepherded actors, musicians, dancers, visual artists, and filmmakers through the college admissions process. In addition to artists, Sarah loves guiding students who are interested in the humanities, business, STEM, and those who are undecided, just to name a few. Helping students learn more about themselves and thoughtfully guiding them to the next big step in their lives is her passion.
