Educational Consultant
Rebecca Eckstein, MA, CEC
is a college admission and enrollment management expert who coaches clients to achieve their career goals. She has a Master’s Degree in Liberal Studies/Computational Science from Hollins University and a Bachelor’s Degree from Mary Baldwin College in Business Administration/Accounting. In her 25 year career in education, she has advanced the enrollment and net revenue at four educational institutions and assisted over 8,000 students to obtain their affordable college degree. She has worked at small liberal arts colleges, an all women’s college, the largest independent school in the continental U.S., and at more diverse Division I and Division II Universities. She has an undefeated record in increasing net revenue for new student enrollments.
She is published in educational journals on admission strategies and affordability. She has appeared on television and she speaks nationally on subjects related to education, success and team dynamics. In 2015, she lead her team to win a Telly award, and in 2016 and 2017 she served on the U.S. Presidential Scholarship Review Committee. Rebecca has memberships and affiliations with IECA, HECA, EMA, CEC, NACAC, SACAC and the College Board.
She always chooses to engage with extraordinary people. She travels extensively throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean to attract and enroll the best students. She has worked with famous athletes and celebrities but her passion is finding a way for students who might not have the same academic opportunity. Along the way she had many mentors who assisted her, when she needed it most.
In July of 2017, she launched Admission Network, LLC, a coaching and consulting firm for higher education, and their families. She coaches families in their college search, speaks nationally, and offers coaching and training to executive teams. She and her husband, Steve, reside in Atlanta, Georgia.
