Rose Ellen Mocombe has a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Colgate University and a Masters in Education from the University of Pittsburgh.
She seeks to empower students and their parents throughout the college admissions experience to enable them to find their best-fit college.
At Beyond Ivy, we understand how imposing and complicated applying to college can be for both students and parents. There’s a lot to consider between which schools to apply to, what classes to take in high school, how to prepare financially, and so much more.
Applying to college starts earlier than senior year. It begins when you’re deciding what classes to take in high school, what activities to partake in, and it doesn’t stop until you work out the financials of it all.
That’s why we offer independent and comprehensive college planning that is entirely customized to each of our students. We provide objective and reliable advice to help you make the most appropriate and informed decision about your next step.
Ms. Rose Ellen was such an incredible help during my college application season. She played a crucial role in conveying my most authentic self through my essays. Her kindness helped me believe in myself and stay motivated. When application deadlines were quickly approaching I
began to have tunnel vision, but her advice allowed me to become more comfortable with creativity and exploration in my essays. While working with her I was also able to have a deeper understanding of what admissions officers were looking for, and I left our session with a more genuine and raw application! Ms. Rose Ellen’s approach is extremely thoughtful, understanding, open, and honest. This fall, I’ll be attending Tufts University, and I’m deeply honored to have worked with her. Thank you so much!!

The college application process is stressful, even under the best of circumstances. Rose Ellen removed so much of that stress with her calm manner and expert guidance. She took over the planning, lists, and deadlines, which meant my son was accountable to her and not me. That was a lifesaver! I thought this process would be about finding the right college for my son (and it was), but it was about so much more than that. Rose Ellen helped my son realize his values, priorities, strengths, and interests. Not only did he find the right college for him, but he also figured out a major and possible career path. The insight was invaluable! Rose Ellen will help you launch your child with confidence and direction.
