Ian Fisher College Coach

Written by Ian Brook Fisheron September 13th, 2023

Ian Brook Fisher comes to College Coach with a unique history as an educational advisor. A graduate of Reed College with a Master’s from Stanford University, Ian discovered his passion for admissions work while still a student. Reading applications and interviewing students during his senior year at Reed, he was immediately recruited to join the admissions department as a full-fledged officer, working with students from the southwestern United States and Asia. His diverse educational experience has helped him successfully guide students of all interests, from those looking at large state schools, to others interested in small liberal arts colleges and the Ivy League. Ian holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Reed College and a master’s degree in policy, organization, and leadership studies from Stanford University.

​In the college admission process, most students know about the importance of essays and the application, but what they might forget are all the supporting documents that make up an application. For example, the vast majority colleges can’t make a decision without your transcript! Host Ian Fisher is joined by college admissions consultant Abigail Anderson to discuss what these documents are, why they are important, and most crucially, who is responsible for making sure they are submitted. Ian is also joined by admissions consultant Zaragoza Guerra to discuss how to finalize your college list, and college finance expert Aimee Yorsaner is here to discuss the two kinds of tuition discounting: merit and need-based.
