About Ruth

Experienced. Empathetic. Here for You.

Hi, I’m Ruth Morrongiello, a college admissions expert and high school counselor based in Lafayette, Louisiana. With 10 years of experience in college admissions and over 5 years working in high schools, I help families cut through the confusion and stress of post-high school planning.

I’ve guided hundreds of students—from traditional applicants to those exploring international and alternative paths. My approach is practical, student-centered, and built on genuine connection. Whether you’re planning early or feeling behind, I’m here to support your next step.

How I Can Help

Guiding students and families through every step after high school.

College Admissions Counseling

From creating college lists to perfecting applications and essays, I help you strategize and stay on track.

Alternative Pathways

Exploring trade schools, gap years, military, or non-traditional options? I’ll help you weigh your options and make a plan.

International Applications

Guidance on applying to schools outside the U.S., including Canada, the U.K., and more.

Family Consultations

Support for parents who want to better understand timelines, financial aid, or how to best support their student.

Real Families, Real Results

I had the pleasure of working with Ruth in the area of college counseling and advising, both at a school and through contract work. What stands out most about Ruth is her deep expertise in the college admissions process and her ability to connect meaningfully with students. She holds students accountable in a supportive way and helps them build confidence as they navigate what can often feel like an overwhelming journey.

In our work together, Ruth was especially helpful in guiding a student who wanted to apply to a school outside of the U.S.—that student is now pursuing a degree in international relations at McGill University in Canada. Ruth is collaborative, dependable, empathetic, and clearly passionate about the work she does. I highly recommend her to any family or organization seeking thoughtful and expert guidance through the college process.
