FAQ
Common questions

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.
