Erin Ogren, Founder
Erin Ogren, the owner of CCCC, is a graduate of UC Berkeley. She earned her certificate in college counseling from UCLA Extension in 2010 and is a periodic speaker at college admission conferences around the country. Her participation in professional organizations and ongoing travel to campuses nationwide keeps Erin abreast of the latest trends in college admissions. Locally, Erin serves as a board member on the Cal Alumni Board and the College Fair planning committee. She has been featured on a variety of admission topics in the Huffington Post, local NBC affiliate KSBY, The Tribune News and in a number of books on college admissions.

Erin understands that each student is unique. Through a rigorous process of query and exchange, she helps students define their goals, bringing structure and clarity to the college admissions process. Empowering students to take responsibility for their college search sets them on the path to independent learning that is essential to the college experience. Our process spares parents from having to consistently prod their students to get the work done. Bringing CCCC aboard will make the college admissions experience both positive and productive for students and parents alike. The results will impact the rest of a student's life.
