Duke & Columbia Admit | 100% Success Rate | All-In Approach
As a recent Duke graduate who has followed the world of college admissions for multiple years, I understand the intricacies of gaining acceptance to top-tier institutions. With a professional interest in STEM but a wide range of personal interests, I have successfully coached many batches of students, landing admission into every Ivy League school, most Ivy+ schools (Duke, MIT, UChicago, etc), and many top-tier public institutions (Michigan, UCLA, Berkeley, etc). During my time at Duke, I had experience as an admissions assistant in the admissions office. Therefore, I have seen what admissions officers at an elite institution think and write down about each application that passes through their hands. My experience also extends beyond admissions; my background is within technology and I have worked at leading tech companies like AWS and Amazon, and currently, I am a key player at high-growth startups in the FinTech and mental health sectors. For college admissions, I can help the most if you have these backgrounds or questions: - You plan on studying STEM but have a variety of extracurricular activities that you feel need "tying together" in your narrative - Aiming for top 15 US colleges (especially if Duke is your dream school) - You come from a historically academically competitive area/district and you may feel you don't know what you bring to the table besides strong academic stats (I was in the same position) Everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their higher education dreams. I deeply sympathize with what it feels like to be "lost" or question the validity of your story. At the end of the day, everyone has a greater purpose and story beyond their resume. I know the struggle of trying to accurately represent myself while drafting an application, and after working with many others who applied to high-caliber institutions, I know the winning strategy to get that acceptance letter. If you believe this description applies to you well, we are a great fit -- let's connect and craft YOUR winning narrative and application.
