Dedication to students
Bridges Educational Consulting is an independent consulting practice dedicated to helping students maximize their educational opportunities.
Our goal is to help students and parents navigate successfully through the competitive application process.
We help each of our students to formulate an attainable plan to pursue their academic and extracurricular interests while understanding the various complexities of the admissions process.
Grad School
Many master's programs prefer students already have some form of prior work experience. An extensive, well-organized resume and well crafted personal statement can make difference.
Transferring
Transfer destinations each have unique and varying requirements. It's important to identify those requirements and also make sure the new university is a good fit for you.

Kirsten T.
STUDENT“Sonali Perera Bridges was my independent college counselor throughout my Junior and Senior year of high school at Notre Dame Academy High School. At Notre Dame Academy, the ratio in the college-counseling department is 60 students to 1 college counselor, a situation that makes it impossible for students to receive the attention they need during this crucial time in their life.
My experience working with Sonali was beyond what I could have ever received at my high school or with any other counselor. She is very professional, committed, and motivating. My college application process with Sonali was very educational, well organized, and most importantly, completely stress free! I would not have made it through the college application process without her guidance, support, and help.
It truly is incredible how much dedication Sonali puts into working with her students. She is always available for help outside of counseling sessions, by phone, email, or even texts. She became more than a college counselor to me, but also a role model and sincere friend. She is a master at what she does and working with Sonali has truly been a blessing!”
Congratulations on taking your first step to seizing your future!
