Crafting compelling applications since 2016.
AMH College Consultant, founded by Ashley Michelle Hannah, is a trusted college consulting firm based in Los Angeles. With nearly a decade of industry experience, Ashley helps students successfully navigate the competitive college admissions process. Her prior experience includes college essay consulting for College MatchPoint and admissions consulting for Strategic College Consulting, where she honed her ability to guide students toward personalized, strategic, and compelling applications.
Ashley earned her B.A. from Stanford University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). With a strong academic background and mastery of the admissions process, Ashley has received acceptances to prestigious institutions such as Harvard University, Columbia University, Stanford University, UCLA, and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), among others.
At AMH College Consultant, Ashley combines her deep understanding of the admissions landscape with a creative, student-focused approach to help students craft unique applications that stand out to top universities.
Small caseloads offer unmatched support for students and parents.
At AMH College Consultant, we understand that every student’s journey to college is unique, and we believe that personalized, one-on-one attention is key to a successful experience. Unlike many large consulting firms that operate with high-volume caseloads and robotic, impersonal approaches, Ashley offers a more thoughtful and tailored approach to college admissions. With a focus on quality over quantity, Ashley founded AMH College Consultant to offer students and their families a more intimate and dedicated experience.
Each year, Ashley deliberately limits her caseload to only 15-20 students, ensuring that each individual receives the attention and support they deserve throughout the entire admissions process. This smaller caseload allows for deeper, more meaningful relationships between Ashley, her students, and their families, fostering a collaborative environment where students feel truly heard and supported.
This hands-on, customized support is what sets AMH College Consultant apart from larger firms. At AMH College Consultant, we put the focus back where it belongs—on the individual student.
Develop lifelong skills of confidence, ambition, networking, and introspection.
We believe the college admissions process is an opportunity for personal growth, not just academic success. We view education as a journey of self-actualization, where students develop key life skills that extend far beyond their college applications.
Ashley’s student-centered approach encourages students to build confidence, ambition, and resilience, empowering them to pursue their goals with purpose. Through personalized guidance, students learn to cultivate essential skills such as networking, problem-solving, and introspection: skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
These skills not only enhance college applications but also contribute to personal growth, ensuring students emerge as confident, thoughtful, and well-rounded individuals. At AMH College Consultant, we equip students with the tools they need to succeed both in college and throughout their lives.
Applications are equally strategic and creative endeavors.
Crafting a successful college application is an intricate balance of strategy and creativity. As an arts educator and experienced college consulting expert, Ashley is uniquely equipped to guide students through every step of this process.
The college admissions process is highly competitive, and it demands more than just meeting academic requirements. Ashley’s approach combines strategic insight with artistic creativity, ensuring that each application is not only well-organized and goal-driven but also thoughtfully crafted to reflect the student’s personality, passion, and potential. Whether it’s through writing compelling essays, curating a powerful resume, or highlighting unique extracurricular activities, Ashley helps students showcase their strengths in a way that captures the attention of admissions committees.
With Ashley's guidance, students are empowered to approach the application process with both precision and originality. The result is a uniquely beautiful application that not only stands out but also delivers real, tangible results.
