We provide strategic admissions guidance to ambitious college-bound students, including: SAT prep, career guidance, candidacy building, summer planning, course selection, internship support, essay editing, interview coaching, and full application support.

The new reality…

These days, the college admissions process is more competitive than ever. Every year, families are stunned to discover that their high-achieving son or daughter didn’t get into the top schools they wanted to. It’s frustrating and confusing, especially considering all the time and effort you’ve likely invested in their education.

Our solution…

Our job is to take the guesswork out of the college admissions game. We show you exactly what Ivy League and other top ranked universities are looking for, and how they go about deciding who gets in and who does not. Then, we take a look at your child’s interests and credentials, and help you put together the strongest possible application so they rise to the top.

How we’re different…

Most college consulting firms are volume-based: you’re one of hundreds of clients, managed by layers of support staff and part-time consultants. We’re the exact opposite: you work directly with our company founder throughout the entire engagement, even for SAT prep and long-term candidacy building. This level of continuity and personal attention ensures the highest caliber of expert guidance from start to finish.
