M agnolia Academic Planning is a personalized college ad- visory service dedicated to helping students and families navigate the admissions process with clarity and confidence. Founded by Allie Pierson, the firm is built on the belief that college planning should be thoughtful, individualized, and rooted in under- standing who each student truly is. Allie brings more than 20 years of expe- rience in education and advising, guid- ing students through one of the most important transitions of their lives. Her approach begins with listening—learn- ing each student’s strengths, interests,
and goals—then developing a tailored strategy that aligns with both academic aspirations and personal growth. The goal is not just college acceptance, but finding the right fit where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Known for her warm, hands-on style, Allie supports families through every step of the process, serving as advisor, organizer, coach, and mentor. From building balanced college lists and man- aging application timelines to refining essays and preparing for interviews, Magnolia Academic Planning provides steady guidance in what can otherwise
feel like an overwhelming experience. Families value Allie’s ability to break down complex requirements, offer honest insight, and provide reassur- ance during high-pressure moments. Her personalized method empowers students to tell their stories with confidence while staying true to who they are. Under Allie Pierson’s leadership, Mag- nolia Academic Planning has become more than a college consulting service; it is a trusted partner for families seek- ing clarity, confidence, and a meaning- ful path forward in higher education.
