Get the Best College Admissions Strategy For You

Being Compelling Isn't Always What It Seems.

SHE STOPPED GETTING REJECTED BY THE IVIES


Antoinette had used another college consultant but came to us last minute after submitting two applications she lacked confidence in (both would get denied by Harvard and Columbia). With us, she got into Penn, Brown, Duke, and Johns Hopkins. She described the difference in her application as night vs. day.

SHE HAD LOW SAT & ACT SCORES


Tianne, with bottom 25% SAT and ACT scores, got into her Ivy League dream school, Cornell, without applying early. Her friends, who scored much higher on the SAT/ACT and applied early (hoping for an advantage), got waitlisted or denied. She was accepted with a stronger application in regular decision.

SHE APPEALED HER REJECTION


A UCLA admissions officer told Michelle that she was rejected because her GPA was too low. We realized that couldn't be true and helped her win her appeal by addressing the real issue. She got admitted despite her GPA still being under the threshold that the admissions officer said she needed to be above.

SHE OVERCAME A 1.6% ACCEPTANCE RATE


Nina's smartest peers got into only 1 or 2 medical schools; Nina got into the MD programs at NYU (full scholarship), UCLA, UCSD, USC, UVA, and Texas A&M (w/ scholarship). We helped her stand out, step-by-step, avoiding overused advice found online and shared by her university's pre-med advisors.

SHE NEVER VOLUNTEERED


Kate, without any volunteer hours or extracurricular activities, got accepted by every top 25 ranked university to which she applied. We reframed her hobbies—which she initially thought were insignificant—showing her new and more compelling angles to them.

SHE OVERCAME LOW GRADES


McKenna, with a 3.11 unweighted GPA, no AP math classes, and an SAT score in the bottom 25% of admits, got into USC’s Marshall School of Business. Her former school headmaster assured her that she'd be rejected. We extenuated her grades and then helped USC see her potential to thrive.

How We Calculate Our College Admissions Success Rate

Click below for details on inclusions and exclusions.

Applicants with academic credentials below this threshold usually fall into special categories like recruited athletes or VIP donors' children. These groups undergo different admission processes with preferential treatment:

     1. Recruited athletes:

                    • Pre-scouted and vetted by athletic recruiters under NCAA standards
                    • Verbally commit to universities and colleges before the general applications even open
                    • Their college applications are mostly a formality

     2. VIP donors' children:

                    • Reviewed through a special process
                    • Separated from the general applicant pool

By focusing on applicants whose academic credentials are above the bottom 25th percentile, we ensure we are considering only those who meet or exceed the minimum qualifications needed to be competitive in the general applicant pool.
Unlike many college admissions consultants who only sell packages, we also offer hourly support because we tailor our services to each student’s actual needs. For some, one high-impact meeting is enough to course-correct. For others, it's a longer journey of mentorship. Because our role and actual level of impact varies so widely in hourly work, we calculate our success rate solely from students who completed their college applications using our packages—the service where our involvement is deepest and most consistent.
Our college application packages are where our impact is fully realized. Did you know? College essays make up just a fraction of the application. In reality, students submit 5 to 7 pages of written content per school—including activity summaries, additional information sections, and brag sheets that shape teacher and counselor recommendations. Our college application packages strategically craft every section into a cohesive, admissions-optimized narrative. Once decisions are released, we also support students with waitlist letters and appeal strategies to help overturn rejections.
