Dedicated to guiding ambitious students and families through the college admissions journey with expertise, integrity, and personalized care.
As a first-generation college student navigating the Ivy League application process, Mrs. Judy Young experienced firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that many families face. That journey—from uncertainty to acceptance—shaped her mission to guide others through the same transformative experience.
After earning her undergraduate degree from an Ivy League institution and her MBA from The Wharton School, Mrs. Young spent years in the corporate world before realizing her true calling: helping students and families navigate the complex world of college admissions.
Her international background gives her unique insight into the diverse perspectives students bring to their applications. As a mother herself, she understands the hopes and concerns parents carry for their children's futures.
Mrs. Young founded College Excellence with a clear vision: to provide the same level of expert guidance that students at elite prep schools receive, but accessible to families everywhere. Her approach combines rigorous strategic planning with genuine warmth and an unwavering commitment to each student's success.
