About Stephen Castaneda

I have worked as an Admissions Reader for John Hopkins University-School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC; a Senior Admissions Counselor for Coppin State University in Baltimore, MD and Upward Bound, a college preparatory program for high school students at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. Additionally. I have been a part of several scholarship committees to which I have read and evaluated applications.

Moreover, I received my undergraduate degree from Smith College, a prestigious liberal arts college ranked among the top 20 in the US and my Master of Education in Higher Education Management from the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League where the Graduate School of Education is ranked top 10 in the nation.

Given my experiences, I am highly skilled in evaluating undergraduate, graduate and scholarship applications, including the process of helping students to find the best-fit college and guiding them through the application process. Working in the world of admissions and helping students gain college success is something I really enjoy doing.

In my free time, I love going to the beach, exploring new cities, and learning something new – whether that be through Google, short articles or documentaries.
