Help Your Teen Choose a Major With Confidence in Today's Changing Job Market

Join Anita, former UChicago Academic Advisor, and Hanifa, Columbia alumna and admissions mentor to 1,000+ students, as they break down the major-selection process and share what colleges look for when evaluating students’ choice of major against their academic profile.

Former University of Chicago Academic Advisor

Anita has spent her entire career in service of students—as a student affairs professional at Macalester, as an academic advisor at UChicago, as a College Admissions Advisor both in her own practice and in other firms, and now as a Collegewise counselor and helps students through the college admissions process. Anita earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Williams College and went on to earn her master’s in student affairs and academic support at the University of Michigan. Anita has a knack for building relationships quickly and making seemingly unrelated connections between people and ideas, which comes in quite handy when she’s helping students identify and apply to their best-fit schools.
