I’m Lynn O’Shaughnessy.  I am an author, higher-ed journalist, speaker and college consultant.

I write about college strategies for TheCollegeSolutionBlog, CBSMoneyWatch and US News & World Report.

I am the author of  The College Solution, an Amazon.com bestseller. The College Solution includes countless tips on college admissions, SAT/ACT strategies, college scholarships, financial aid and much more.

I have written about college issues for such national publications as The New York Times, Business Week, Consumer Reports, MSN Money, Money Magazine and Parade Magazine.

As a higher-ed journalist and college counselor, I help teenagers and their parents find the best colleges at the lowest prices possible. The college process doesn’t have to be as complicated as it seems and my goal is to demystify it for families.

I am a graduate of UCLA’s college counseling program. I have also been the financial aid guest lecturer for the University of California, San Diego’s college counseling certificate program.

In addition, I give presentations about college strategies for schools, nonprofits, companies and financial advisory firms.
