Our Comprehensive Services
-
We will assist you in brainstorming topics and provide tailored outlines for your personal essay to help you transform the topics we brainstormed into a compelling narrative. We will also edit your essay as many times as needed to ensure it effectively demonstrates to admission officers the immense practical value your presence will bring to their campus.
-
Using the themes we established in your personal essay, we will brainstorm approaches to answering your supplemental essays that align with the specific language admission officers choose for their prompts. By doing so, we will ensure that the main ideas and themes from your personal statement are also reflected in your supplemental essays, thus creating a coherent narrative that sticks in the minds of the admission officers. This will help you stand out and be easily recalled, ensuring that you are always considered whenever they are deliberating on whom to admit.
-
We will thoroughly examine your grades, standardized test scores, and specific extracurricular activities. By combining publicly available data with our extensive experience in helping clients gain acceptance to top-tier universities, we will create a balanced list of colleges that are the best social and academic fit for you.
-
Colleges aren’t looking for well-rounded applicants. Instead, they seek well-rounded classes. This means colleges want to admit applicants who specialize in unique academic fields and contribute something specific and distinctive to a college’s academic and social communities. With this in mind, thanks to the immense technical expertise of our consultants, we will help you identify a niche academic problem you can tackle in high school that is uniquely yours. We will also provide technical guidance on how to best solve it, ensuring that you become exactly what admissions officers are looking for.
-
We will help you plan which extracurriculars to take in high school and actively assist you in executing them to perfection. There are three types of extracurriculars that truly make a difference. The first involves using a well-developed skill unique to the applicant to create a positive impact in their local community or school. The second is participating in research. The third is competing in competitions. We will guide applicants to pursue all three types of these extracurriculars.
-
We help clients secure extracurricular opportunities by assisting them with cold-emailing professors for research opportunities, writing essays for competitive high school summer research programs, such as MIT’s RSI and The Simons Program, and jumpstarting their own clubs in high school. We also assist in formulating the nuts and bolts of projects aimed at creating tangible impacts in their local communities using a client's unique specialized skills that will impress admission officers.
-
We will help you convey quantifiable, demonstrable accomplishments from your participation in extracurriculars in 150 characters or less for the activities list portion of the Common App.

We actively coach and mentor our clients for academic competitions, ensuring they perform at their best and impress admission officers as much as possible. Our clients have been top teams in the Wharton Global Investment Challenge and have been shortlisted for the John Locke Essay Competition. We also provide assistance with Kaggle data science competitions, and many others.
-
We also mentor you for your own personal project, such as helping a local restaurant better price their items using machine learning and statistical regression.

We advise clients on how to pick the best recommenders for them. Furthermore, we guide them on ways to form the best possible relationship with their guidance counselor, who will be writing their most important recommendation letter. We also help them fill out the letter of recommendation forms provided by their teachers and guidance counselors to ensure that these letters highlight how our clients have enhanced the academic and social experiences of their fellow students in high school.

We will provide you with a list of questions and answers to study for your college interviews, along with mock interviews to help you present the most compelling version of yourself to your alumni interviewer.

We will also assist you in formatting and editing your resume to ensure you make the best possible impression on your interviewer even before the interview begins.

We will help you make admission officers think twice about deferring or waitlisting you with our one-of-a-kind letters of continued interest. We also recommend preemptive steps to take before applying to college, which will increase the likelihood of being accepted if you find yourself deferred or waitlisted.
-
Contrary to what admissions officers often claim, demonstrated interest still matters. They downplay its importance because they don't want to be harassed nonstop by students. However, introducing yourself to them early on can work to your advantage. We will help you develop a strategy to get noticed by admissions officers before you apply. This includes contacting key individuals at your most desired colleges and setting up a situation where an admissions officer encourages you to apply to their school, ensuring that you are seen as a strong candidate even before they review other applications.
-
We offer tailored versions of all the services we provide to high school students seeking to be admitted as first-year college students, to graduate students of all types, and to undergraduates who seek to transfer to another undergraduate institution.
