Limited Advisory with Dr. Courtney Nicole Johnson, Ed.D.

For Families Who Want More Than “Just Applying”

Selective admissions are no longer about GPA alone.

They are about narrative clarity.
Academic alignment.
Strategic positioning.
And understanding how institutions actually think.

With extensive experience in admissions, recruitment, academic advising, and college-going culture development across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Chandler, Gilbert, and Phoenix, Dr. Johnson offers boutique, limited-capacity advisory services for students seeking meaningful competitive advantage.

Why Work with Dr. Johnson?

Unlike traditional admissions coaches, Dr. Johnson understands:

• How universities evaluate applicants internally
• How institutional politics shape admissions priorities
• How to align majors, extracurriculars, and essays strategically
• How to prepare students for classroom culture and faculty expectations
• How to ethically leverage AI as an academic tool

She brings insider knowledge and doctoral-level expertise in higher education systems.

This is not tutoring.
This is strategic academic positioning.
