As a first-generation college student, I had to learn about the admissions process from scratch. It was challenging, but as a result, I gained a deeper understanding about the criteria admissions committees have for student. This process also made me passionate about detangling the mystery behind college acceptances. As part of this investigation, I corresponded with peers at MIT and Harvard, having them walk me through their experience and essays. I was also able to speak to academic directors and read profiles of those who were rejected from top schools. In the end, my research has given me a robust understanding of what admissions committees seek out in an application pool of tens of thousands of students. I began tutoring the SAT in my freshman year of MIT. Since then, I have helped over 20 students achieve their target scores and TA'ed for 3 MIT classes. Many of my students reached out to me either during tutoring sessions or after their SAT for college admissions advice. I employed my knowledge of the admissions process to help over half of them to varying degrees. The students that I worked with throughout the majority of their entire application cycle and went on to top schools such as Tufts and Notre Dame. I am here to help you build a successful application that admissions committees will remember! Please reach out for a free intro call, so we can see if we are a good match and start crafting a plan!
