Jordan Kanarek
Director of Counseling
Jordan has the distinction of being the first former Collegewise student to later join our ranks as a counselor, a goal he set for himself soon after setting foot on campus at his dream school, Gettysburg College. After leaving his teen years behind and becoming a fully-fledged adult, Jordan completed a stint in the Gettysburg admissions office and later joined The Princeton Review’s Washington, D.C. office, where he directed the private tutoring division, growing it to over 1 million dollars in revenue in 2014. There, he also recruited and trained faculty, delivered more than 30 speeches annually at local high schools on the subject of college admissions and testing, and simultaneously worked to complete his college admissions certification from UCLA.
An avid chef, rabid soccer fan, and voracious consumer of college admissions information, we thought Jordan expressed his motivation best when he wrote in his cover letter, “Collegewise helped me find the right college fit. I hope to have the privilege and opportunity to do the same for our next generation.”
