Matthew Gray
Principal/Consultant
Matthew Gray brings over 20 years of experience working in higher education and 15 years of leading admissions offices working with college-bound students and their families. He directed college and university recruitment and admissions offices in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and served as Director of Enrollment Management at Drexel University helping Drexel strengthen both its national reputation and the academic quality of its students. In addition to his admissions experience, Matt currently oversees experiential learning programs for students at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Matt’s strength is working with families to “demystify” the college process. He helps students target colleges, finding those that best meet individual learning styles, curricular goals and career aspirations. He stresses the importance of college selection as a family decision, with extensive support for the student who is often making an important adult decision for the first time. Parents are welcome to participate actively in the process of developing college lists and evaluating college experiences. Matt also works closely with students to develop themes for college essays and interviews. He evaluates all college applications and essays to be sure each student makes the best presentation possible. His unlimited support continues until a final college choice is confirmed in the spring of senior year.
Matt earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Elon University, where he majored in communications.
