Dylan’s College Qualifications
10+ people coached for College
A lot of people will tell you that college admissions is solely a numbers game. That's a lie - and I'm the proof. I came from a working-class background and navigated college admissions without the help of guidance counselors and got into elite colleges. I've helped many soon-to-be-college grads do the same. Here's the insight: what colleges want to know is whether or not you are smart, thoughtful, ambitious, and if you'll fit into their school's mold. Those usually sound like: High GPA, High LSAT, and a ton of extracurricular activities that pad your college resume. But not everybody has those items -- and not everyone needs them to get into great schools. That’s where I come in. I specialize in helping students identify the 'hidden assets' in their background: the grit, the unique perspective, and the authentic voice that standardized tests simply can’t capture. Together, we will craft a narrative that proves you aren’t just another applicant with good grades, but a future leader who adds distinct value to their campus. My goal is to help you translate your life experiences into a story that admissions officers can't ignore, turning your unique background into your biggest competitive advantage.

About Dylan
Hi, I’m Dylan — a Harvard Law graduate, former Law Review editor, and a current judicial law clerk. Before law school, I spent several years at Google and Facebook working on trust & safety, platform governance, and counterterrorism policy. I've also practiced as a civil rights law clerk at Wilson Sonsini and served as a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center, where I focused on the First Amendment and AI governance. If you're thinking about law school, clerkships, or how to break into tech policy or public interest law, I can help you craft an authentic, values-forward application strategy — and stand out in a crowded field. Whether you're navigating 1L recruiting, pursuing a non-traditional path, or writing a personal statement that blends policy and purpose, I’ve been there and can help you tell your story powerfully. My coaching style is thoughtful, strategic, and grounded in real-world experience, from the Hill to the Harvard reading room to platform policy rooms at YouTube.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve been the outsider — the only Black kid in a private school, the scholarship student in spaces where people didn’t expect me to belong. I know what it feels like to shape-shift to fit in, to hide parts of yourself to succeed, and to wonder if you’re really good enough, even when you are. Coaching, for me, is about giving people the support I wish I had: someone who sees the full picture, believes in your potential, and helps you navigate gatekept institutions with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Whether you're the first in your family to go to law school, making a pivot, or carving your own path in public interest or tech policy, I want to help you show up as your full self and win.
