REGION – Every student needs a champion. Every student needs Chapman Education.
Since 1995, Christine Chapman has been empowering students and their families through the college admission process. As application cycles become more competitive – and stressful – Chapman enjoys working closely with students to help them find the right educational fit, represent their best selves, and fine-tune their application.
To date, she’s helped over 3,500 students from around the world.
“I believe every student needs a champion. It’s through the champions in my life that I’ve overcome really difficult hurdles, and I aspire to be that to the students and families with whom I work; not only for the kids as they go through the process, but also to their parents,” said Chapman. “I feel like my gift is my ability to connect with young people and with their parents – I love being able to shepherd them through the process.”
Chapman and her team – including her daughter, Celia – offer college counseling services for every step in the multi-layered admission process. Chapman Education helps students set goals, develop a list of colleges to apply to, and optimize their admission chances. Along the way, the company offers comprehensive application support, including proofreading and other services, designed to make applications as stress-free as possible.
Chapman’s guidance is not limited to undergraduate admissions. In addition to helping place younger students into secondary schools, Chapman Education advises students who are considering international study and also supports those who need undergraduate transfer and graduate school application assistance (MBA, JD, PhD, etc.)
Thanks to Chapman’s expertise, meticulous research, and hands-on approach to applications, her students frequently find success. This year, approximately 95% of the company’s students were accepted into their Early Decision program of choice, according to Chapman. Her goal is always to have her students complete their applications months in advance.
“I am not the kind of consultant you want to hire if you want to have your kid work on essays by themselves and then send them to someone for them to rewrite or edit. That’s not me,” Chapman told the Community Advocate. “If you’re looking to have somebody guide and support your student through the process, and literally pull the ideas that become essays out of you – that would be me. My approach to the process is very interactive.”
With the college admission process becoming increasingly complex, Chapman offers something more than advice. In addition to her consulting, she seeks to foster a meaningful relationship with each client. Chapman is one of the first to congratulate her students when they get accepted, and she’s also the first to encourage her students when they don’t get the news they want.
“I think at a time when a college education – the investment that is a college education – is going to be more than what you’d pay for your first home, kids and their families need as much coaching in their lives as they can possibly get. I do my best to keep it real. If the fit is right, I am going to be by your side – whether it’s good or bad news,” said Chapman.
“I’m that person, when kids get news that’s not what they hoped for, who’s there to say that it’s the college’s loss. At the end of the day, you’re only going to go to one school. But when someone gets into their dream school, I’m jumping up and down on FaceTime. Regardless of the outcome, I’m always happy to remind families how amazing their children were, and to mirror back how proud and impressed I am with each of them.” she continued.
