College Admissions Guidance
American universities have never been more competitive. With thousands of exceptional applicants competing for limited spots, top schools now look beyond grades and test scores, seeking well-rounded students whose experiences, perspectives, and personalities will enrich their campus communities.
In this environment, standing out requires more than academic excellence. It demands foresight, intentional growth, and a carefully crafted application strategy. That’s where I come in. Through advanced planning and expert guidance, I help students not only showcase their achievements but also tell their story in a way that captures the attention of admissions committees at the nation’s most selective universities.
Comprehensive Options
Long-Term Plan
Ideal for students still several years away from the application process, this plan focuses on steady, intentional growth. I work closely with families to help students develop their interests authentically, building a portfolio of experiences that highlights character, values, and individuality. From summer programs and internships to school clubs, athletics, volunteer work, and hobbies, I guide students toward opportunities that excite them. Over time, these passions become the foundation of a compelling and well-rounded application.
One-Year Plan
For students in the critical year leading up to applications, I craft a focused strategy that maximizes impact. Together, we select key activities aligned with a student’s past experiences and future goals, then target universities where these strengths will shine. When application season begins, I provide hands-on guidance through the essay-writing process, ensuring every application authentically captures the student’s voice and accomplishments.
The Deadline Crunch
When deadlines are fast approaching and stress is running high, this intensive support helps students find clarity and confidence in their applications. Many students feel pressure to identify “big” essay topics, but what matters most is telling their own story with honesty and depth. Through thoughtful, low-pressure conversations, we uncover genuine ideas that resonate with admissions officers. In a condensed timeframe, I provide structure, reduce anxiety, and help students produce applications that feel both honest and impactful.
