From SAT prep and essay coaching to research publications and startup incubation — everything you need, under one roof.
Working with Open Admits completely transformed my application. My counselor helped me find a story I didn't even know I had — and I got into Harvard.

One platform covering every dimension of your application — from your first practice SAT to your final essay. No referrals, no hand-offs.
School selection, essays, interview prep, and personal brand — end-to-end, led by former admissions officers.
Personalized test prep targeting your exact weak spots. Avg +210 SAT points in 12 weeks.
Expert instructors across every AP, IB, and honors course — math, sciences, and more.
Clinical placements, faculty research, startup incubation, and field-specific internship tracks — credentials admissions committees can verify.
Most consultants hand you a checklist. We hand you a team.
Your SAT instructor, essay coach, admissions counselor, and research mentor are on the same team — building one coherent application narrative.
The students who win start in 9th or 10th grade. We build real credentials that can't be faked or rushed in the final semester.
Our counselors have read applications at Harvard, Princeton, and peer institutions. They know what actually moves the needle.
A 1580 SAT with a hollow activities list loses to a 1480 with a compelling profile. We work on both.
Every student gets a named counselor, weekly check-ins, and direct access — not a ticket queue.
500+ students placed, $7M+ in scholarships, 300+ Top-20 acceptances. We stand behind every number.

If I had to redo my entire college admissions process there is no one else I'd rather choose to work with than John.”

“John is the best college counselor you can find. He is a Harvard graduate himself. Not only does he know the college admission process well and stays on top of your child's application progress, but he also has an amazing work ethic. He met with my son to give guidance on his essays, late at night when he was on vacation, to ensure that my son's application progress is not impacted. As a result, my son got into one of the most prestigious universities (HYPSM) EA. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a college counselor who is not only knowledgeable but also cares about your child.”
