College Guidance

The Right Destination

At Webb, you join a nationally renowned four-year college guidance program that takes students and parents through each important stage of college admission: exploration, application, preparation and placement.

Led by Dean of College Guidance Hector Martinez and supported by Associate Dean Rhemi Abrams-Fuller, our program offers both grade-specific and one-on-one counseling during all four years on campus. Representatives from over 100 colleges and universities across the country visit the Webb campus each year, giving students the opportunity to learn directly about an array of colleges and the chance to speak directly with admission decision-makers.

College guidance offers students access to a search library and online resources with extensive materials on preparing for the SAT, writing admission essays, financial aid resources, and many other college-related subjects – helping students find “the right fit” is crucially important. Webb also hosts speakers and workshops each year to help students understand what they can do to better prepare themselves for the process.

But true college preparation begins long before testing. Academically, Webb graduates go beyond simply mastering their subject matter: they are problem solvers, self-motivated explorers and independent thinkers. Their boarding experience has prepared them for life on a college campus. Extracurricular activities have given them confidence, self-discipline and a keen sense of responsibility and integrity.

The results of Webb’s college preparation and guidance speak for themselves. Webb enjoys a long history of 100% of seniors being admitted to a selective four-year college or university and 90% attending schools rated in the top 10% in the nation.

Office of College Guidance

College Guidance Team

Hector Martinez earned his master’s degree in education from the Claremont Graduate University and his bachelor’s degree from Pitzer College. This is his 26th year at The Webb Schools, with 36 years of professional experience in the field of education and college admissions.

Prior to his time at The Webb Schools he was the college counselor and taught at The Buckley School in Los Angeles. He also served as a senior admissions officer for The Claremont Colleges for eight years.

Hector is an active member of several national professional organizations, including serving as co-chairman of the National College Board Forum. He is also a founding member of the board of trustees for ACCIS (Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools) and has served as an executive member of the Guidance and Admissions Council for The College Board and NACAC.

Considered one of America’s most respected and knowledgeable college counselors, Hector is frequently featured and quoted in such publications as the Los Angeles TimesNew York TimesNewsweekU.S. News and World Report, and The Wall Street Journal where he was selected as one of the top 40 college counselors in the U.S.

Hector was most recently appointed to serve on The Common App Advisory Council, where he gives input on ways to continue to improve its services and purpose. The Common App Council is made up of 15 college counselors from around the world.

 

Rhemi Abrams-Fuller

Rhemi brings extensive experience in selective college admissions, having spent the past 15 years as a senior level admission officer at both Carleton College in Minnesota and Occidental College in Los Angeles. A graduate of Carleton, she also holds a master’s degree from Smith College. Rhemi has worked closely with diverse populations of college-bound youth and has been very active in her commitment to access, equity, and success in higher education. A first-generation college student herself, Rhemi is passionate about the importance of gaining a college education and how transformative that experience can be for everyone.

As the associate dean of college guidance, she works with students in groups and one on one to refine their lists of college options, select and craft the best possible essays and position themselves for success after Webb.

 

Adriana Flores is the Executive Assistant to College Guidance. Her full-time duties include supporting all aspects of the college guidance program at Webb, including direct support to the dean and associate dean of college guidance. Her duties span everything from planning calendars, daily appointments, helping host college representatives, and managing the entire office.

Adriana is also responsible for submitting all supporting documents to colleges and communicating with colleges to assure that all applications are complete and ready for reading. Her expertise extends beyond the daily details of running the office and assuring that all staff members are able to do their jobs successfully, for she is also the first one to offer a friendly smile to office visitors.

This is year 18 at Webb for Mrs. Flores. Before coming over to the College Guidance Office seven years ago, she was enrollment coordinator and accounting analyst in our Business Office.

Adriana earned her Bachelor of Science in business administration from UC Riverside. She and her husband have three children; the two oldest attended Webb, her younger son is in junior high. She and her family reside locally.
