Helping students to discover their strengths,
explore their interests,
and find the right college for them.
Hi. I am Bettina Weil and I help students define and pursue a college path where they will be successful and happy.
Helping young people on their journey to adulthood is both fascinating and deeply rewarding.
With a Master’s degree in Program Development from Columbia University’s School of Social Work, I apply a student-centered approach that considers each individual's unique goals and challenges. Since 2007, I have advised students and parents on high school planning, college applications, academic success, and career exploration.
Previously, I served as Director of College Programs at Yonkers Partners in Education and as Dean of High School Partnerships at the State University of New York, leading initiatives in college transition, persistence, and completion. I have also lectured extensively in the U.S. and internationally on topics such as post-secondary options, financial aid, college admissions for international students, and students with learning differences.
With my experience and vision, I founded Weil College Advising, a boutique firm in Westchester, NY, assembling a team of top specialists. Our reach has grown organically, expanding into Latin America, Asia, and Europe to support students aspiring to attend college in the U.S.
I completed the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) Training Institute and advanced college consulting seminars at the Goddard Foundation in New York City. As a Professional Member of IECA and HECA, I also mentor new college advisors, sharing my expertise to strengthen the field.
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and moved to New York in 1994. My five sons have grown and flown the nest, and we remained in Westchester, NY, with our two dogs, Paco and Manel.
