Description
Before you write a single essay, your foundation needs to be right, and that's what this package builds. We'll create a clean, impressive student résumé and rewrite your Common App activities list so every entry uses the limited character count to show real impact instead of just listing what you did. I'll audit your honors section, then we'll sit down for a school-list strategy session to calibrate your reach, target, and likely schools against your actual profile, not guesswork. You'll leave with a positioning worksheet that defines the through-line tying your whole application together. Delivered over live 1:1 sessions with written deliverables you keep.

Ivy League admissions coach for first-gen & non-traditional students
As a first, generation, low-income student, I know what it feels like to navigate the college application with no support. Yet that path led me to Columbia Engineering, where I now study as a likely-letter admit and a C.P. Davis Scholar, a distinction reserved for a small number of the most promising candidates. Along the way I earned admission to schools like NYU Shanghai and Georgia Tech, became a QuestBridge finalist, and was selected for some of the most competitive research and leadership programs in the country throughout high school and college. What I want you to know is that you don't need a "perfect" application to get in. I didn't have top test scores, but I learned how to build a compelling case around real strengths: discipline, story, and genuine potential. I'll help you do the same, no matter of your background! I've been exactly where you are, and I know how to get you where you want to go.
