WHAT WE DO

"Haley was a great investment and resource that kept our senior on track and alleviated the stress of the college application process. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Highly recommend."

“I honestly can’t recommend Haley more highly. It’s very telling that we are in the absolute thick of applications and couldn’t imagine the process without her help.”

“The time and attention, Haley has taken the last few years to help support our daughter is incredible. Navigating this complex process without her is something that we could not imagine! She has been instrumental in helping my daughter feel confident and successful in the entire process.”

“The college process is complicated. There is so much to consider.  Our family was lucky enough to access the skills and expertise of OnCourse College Counseling. If you have a high school student interested in exploring college options, do yourself a favor and reach out now! Sherri guided Connor through this process seamlessly—the stress it took off of Kevin and I was invaluable. We can now take these next steps with complete confidence that we made this decision with all the knowledge and wisdom possible, no matter what happens next.  Sherri listened to Connor and understood our family's priorities. She customized a path for us to make a choice we all felt good about. I am incredibly grateful to have had this experience and this friend to support us on this journey.”

Throughout the private school process, Mrs. Barnwell has been supportive and helpful in many ways.  Whether helping in the reviewing of applications, or the selection and writing process of essays, she was available and willing to help in any way possible. Mrs. Barnwell’s help made our application process much less stressful and a lot easier!

Sherri was there to guide my daughter every step of the college application process!  I had the ability to step back and be hands off knowing that Sherri and Maggie had a great working relationship.  Maggie was able to ask questions and Sherri knew the answers or knew where to find them.  It was great having someone help my daughter every step of the way.  It especially meant so much to Maggie that one of her first calls or texts upon acceptance was from Sherri!

Thank you, Haley, for making this usually stressful college admissions process a lot easier on our family.  Your knowledge and expertise were invaluable – especially since there are so many aspects of this process that we did not know about.  From going over essays to quickly answering our endless amounts of questions, you handled it all!

Grateful Parent | Marriottsville, MD

I was very overwhelmed throughout the whole process of applying to college.  I had so many questions about the applications and Mrs. Barnwell sat down with me and went over all of them.  Mrs. Barnwell answered my questions, reviewed my applications, reviewed my essays, and most importantly put me at ease.  The entire process went much more smoothly with her help!

Maggie Wilson | Clover, SC

“With our oldest finishing her junior year of high school and college looming, my husband and I were overwhelmed by the myriad of options and the "to-do" list. We needed guidance.

A friend referred us to Sherri Barnwell for direction, and we spoke to Sherri and were impressed with her knowledge, experience, and ability to provide a sense of calmness.

Sherri set up regular chats and tasks for our daughter, guiding her toward the things that mattered in the long run in making a college decision.

Sherri advised on the idiosyncrasies of the schools and tools to approach reach schools and safe schools.   

She encouraged our daughter to make a few changes while never getting too caught up.  

Sherri spent many hours consulting with our daughter and guiding our family on the various schools, including the reach choice of Wake Forest University.  We were thrilled when our daughter got the news of her acceptance to Wake Forest with Sherri's keen direction.

Her strategies and advice were invaluable.  We highly recommend her for your family.”

"We began working with Sherri Barnwell last year, and she has been THE BIGGEST help! Eliana is already applying to some schools this week under Sherri’s watchful eye and caring wing. If you’re like us and find the entire college application process overwhelming, AND your student takes the advice of others better than advice or task assignments coming from you, this is the way to go.”
