Thank you for all you've done for me over the past year. Without your help, I'm not sure I would be able to attend my first choice university in the fall. Thanks for helping a New Orleans student. You California women work wonders!

Peggy helped me get into the school of my dreams. Her straightforward guidance, constant availability, and immense knowledge made the application process much easier. I'd recommend her help to any student--there's no one better!

College Circuit consultants provided more than college guidance for our daughter. They were a support system, sounding board and repository of common sense advice for her as she thought through her goals for college and beyond.

Peggy Saferstein, Co-Founder

Peggy graduated from UC Berkeley and received her Masters in Education at Lesley University. She earned her certificate in college counseling from UCLA Extension. Before becoming a college counselor she was a teacher and director of a computer camp. Because she has always enjoyed working with high school students, she decided to become an independent college counselor.

Besides working with her clients, Peggy has helped hundreds of underserved students through the Constitutional Rights Foundation internship program (and was honored by CRF for this work in 2007 with the Lloyd M. Smith Award), Camp College (LAUSD) and the College Access Project in Montebello. She has helped formulate WACAC and NACAC programs and has presented sessions at their conferences.

Peggy serves on the boards of the Constitutional Rights Foundation and Creative Education Partners (organizations that strive to help high school students) and is a member of IECA (Independent Education Consultants Association).

In addition to helping high school students gain admission to college, she also advises college students with disciplinary problems at the colleges they are attending.
