“Dave Archer knows the college admissions process from the inside. I first met Dave when he was a successful student-athlete at Cornell University. When he returned to Cornell as head football coach, I worked closely with Dave in my role as director of admissions and advising for the College of Arts and Sciences—in recruiting, selecting and advising the student-athletes who played on Dave’s teams. He was closely involved in every step of the student’s career at Cornell: from admissions application through undergraduate course selection and performance to eventual graduation and beyond.”

“I am so excited for Dave to enter a sector in which he is already an expert having been in the trenches of admissions, financial aid and recruiting for nearly two decades. He understands every nuance of recruiting and opening doors for applicants of elite universities. While being an expert is essential, Dave also provides a human touch that is invaluable.”

“While serving as dean of a college with a robust undergraduate program, I observed Dave Archer’s commitment to student success throughout the entire spectrum of their collegiate experience, from recruitment through graduation and well beyond. As a parent, I trust Dave to work in a student’s best interest. Dave supports students in achieving their personal goals, all within the context of his deep understanding of complex university systems.”

Financial aid can be an intimidating process for students and families. Dave worked hard to stay current on aid application requirements and annual changes. He always had an upbeat attitude and helped put applicants at ease.
