ma·tric·u·late:

to be enrolled in college or university

So how do we get there? And where, exactly, is there? You’re asking big questions. Fortunately, you’ve found a guide prepared to help you answer them.

Modern Matriculation is a bespoke higher education consultancy formed out of the belief that every student’s voyage from high school to university is uniquely their own. Each interest, strength, and priority create an alchemy unlike any other, and are deserving of dedicated, individualized attention.

Brianne MacEachran, founder of Modern Matriculation, has over a decade of experience in higher education admissions and advising at some of the nation’s preeminent universities and programs. Her years on the other side of the admissions desk provide a unique perspective to all families looking to untangle the web of (often fraught) headlines surrounding college admissions.

More than that, Brianne is a scholar of Student Development and is dedicated to creating a process that center’s the student in their own admission journey. This is not about building a high school student’s “brand,” but about empowering students to think critically about and participate actively in the search for the future academic home. Why do we do this? Because we aren’t the ones who need to arrive on campus prepared to self-advocate in order to thrive. Your student is.
