About Us
There are several aspects of a student's college experience to consider, as it's an important decision during these transformative years. We want to make the college journey and recruiting process enjoyable, a chance to further discover yourself, and serve as a trusted resource, which is what sparked the inception of Cunningham College Consulting.
DYLAN CUNNINGHAM
Dylan’s passion for squash started at a young age and has carried throughout his life, going off to play in college, professionally, and ultimately coach all ages from kindergarten through professional players. During his coaching tenure, he’s gained extensive experience in the college squash landscape, serving as the Assistant Coach at University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University for six years. One of his main responsibilities was scouting and recruiting players, both domestically and internationally. He recruited hundreds of athletes and has guided even more to other appropriate colleges. In addition to seeking out prospective student athletes, he also helped each athlete through the various layers of the recruiting/application process and provided support through the financial aid and visa applications.
Throughout this experience, he saw first-hand how heavy of a decision it was for students as they navigated their recruiting opportunities and contemplated their options. He realized from both the coaches and student’s perspective, there are various factors to consider during the search process in addition to considering their level of play on the team. Getting to understand the student's goals and vision for their college experience outside of athletics informed his personalized approach, which he aims to share with prospective students. This is the approach he aims to share with current prospective students as they navigate this exciting, yet challenging process.
