"Kory approaches his work with care, compassion, and a wealth of knowledge (and contacts!). Through relationship-building, he is able to connect with students social-emotionally while maintaining strong rapport with adult stakeholders (I.e. teachers, administrators, families).
Together, as college counselors, 80% of our graduating cohort was accepted to a college!
Kory is truly invested in ALL his relationships, as he still continues to mentor me over the last 15 years being 3000 miles apart. I am confident that you will be just as impressed with Kory as I am, and I urge you to consider him for any opportunities/ partnerships."

Mr. McBride was nothing short of amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better College Counselor. His care for his students shows in the work he does and empowers his students to make the best decision for their future. He also has a great network to allow his students to get insights/feedback from professionals in different career paths.

I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Kory when we both worked with underrepresented students at high schools in the Bronx. His vast knowledge of higher education institutions, coupled with his collaborative spirit, and ability to connect with everyone and anyone was immediately apparent. Kory’s professionalism is anchored in the belief that we rise by lifting others. .
