Empowering Your College Journey
Guiding Students to Success
Hi! My name is Isabella Montero and I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Vanderbilt University. I decided to start Montero College Consulting to help younger students navigate the complexities of the current US college admissions process.
Personally, I faced the US college admissions landscape with minimal guidance, while studying for my A-Levels in England. I went to Cornell University and then navigated the transfer admissions process and transferred to Vanderbilt University.
I specialize in providing personalized college prep services, with a focus on building credibility and ensuring each student is equipped for academic and personal success. I am happy to work with American and international students, and would love to set up a free consultation with you!

Testimonial
"I truly had no idea where to start when I began my journey of applying to American colleges. As a prospective international student, the process seemed difficult, confusing and entirely different from what I knew. I also didn’t even know where to apply or what schools would be a right fit for me. Fortunately for me, I had Isabella to help. Not only did she understand the college admissions process like the back of her hand but she also took the time to get to know me holistically and used that knowledge to guide me towards colleges that would be a great fit.
When she first suggested Dartmouth, I admittedly didn’t know much about it beyond it being an Ivy. After doing some research, I felt blown away that she had chosen a school that felt so perfect for me. As excited as I was, it was equally daunting to be applying to such a competitive school. Isabella guided me through the whole process from registering in Common App to expert advice on how to make my essays really stand out to the admissions board. She even wrote me a wonderful letter of recommendation that gave Dartmouth great insight into who I am as a person and added color to the picture my application painted.
Now, looking back on the last four years, I can say that I had the time of my life at Dartmouth. I made excellent friends, got world-class educational instruction and even joined a sorority! None of that would’ve been possible without Isabella’s expertise and belief in me. She truly takes the time to understand you, your goals and is wholly dedicated to ensuring you have the best chances of success in your college application process."
