Over a decade of experience
at your service.
mycampusGPS was created in response to the confusion and anxiety high school students and their parents face when preparing for university. There’s so much information, and so many choices -- it can feel overwhelming!
What I learned in over a decade of experience working in university admission and scholarship consulting is this: most often what young people need is for someone with the right information and expertise to help guide them, step-by-step, through the process. That's what I do!

Enlightening and current
"As a former teacher and the parent of a Grade 11 student, I found the information provided by mycampusGPS consulting (Janet MacDonald) enlightening and current. Janet articulated how to successfully navigate the complex admission and scholarships processes, and used real-world examples to illustrate. I now feel much better equipped to help my child when the time comes."
