Being Compelling Isn't Always What It Seems.

SHE STOPPED BEING DENIED BY THE IVY LEAGUE

A student using another independent college counselor came to us after submitting applications that Harvard and Columbia ultimately denied. With us, she got into Penn, Brown, Duke, and Johns Hopkins. She described the difference in her application as night vs. day.

HER SAT & ACT SCORES WERE LOW

We helped a student with bottom 25% SAT and ACT scores get 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.

UCLA

SHE APPEALED HER REJECTION

A UCLA admissions officer told a student 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.

NYU

SHE OVERCAME A 1.6% ACCEPTANCE RATE

While her 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.

UC Berkeley

SHE NEVER VOLUNTEERED

We helped a student without any volunteer hours or extracurricular activities get 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.

USC

SHE OVERCAME LOW GRADES

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