We built a school list from scratch in September and had three T20 offers by April. The strategy was clear from day one.

My counselor had read files at Harvard. She knew which details committees flag and which they skim. That knowledge was invaluable.

Is this right for you?

The high-achiever without a strategy

Strong GPA, solid activities, but no clear narrative tying it together. You need positioning, not just polish.

The student starting early

In 9th or 10th grade and want to build a competitive profile — not just react to it senior year.

The family that wants a roadmap

You don't want vague advice. You want a week-by-week plan, clear milestones, and someone accountable.

The waitlisted or deferred student

You got a deferral or waitlist decision and need a structured re-engagement strategy to move it forward.

Ready to build your best application?

Spots are limited. We work with a small cohort each cycle so every student gets genuine attention — not a ticket queue.

FAQs
Common questions, straight answers.

When should I start?

Ideally in 9th or 10th grade — the earlier we start, the more we can shape your profile, not just polish it. That said, we do take motivated 11th graders with strong foundations.

Do you guarantee admission?

No one can guarantee admission to selective schools. What we guarantee is that every element of your application will be as strong as it can possibly be.

How many students do you work with at once?

Deliberately few. We limit our cohort each cycle so every student gets genuine attention — not a ticket queue.

What makes you different from other consultants?

Our counselors are former admissions officers who have read thousands of applications. They know what moves the needle because they've been on the other side of the table.
