Jim’s College Qualifications
70+ people coached for College
I have worked with over 75 clients over a decade to provide detailed and individualized feedback on crafting the perfect personal statement and supplemental essays for college admissions. As an admit to Harvard, Yale, Princeton (and other comparably competitive schools) and a coach for students who have been similarly successful in their admissions journeys, I possess a keen eye for what admissions committees look for. I am eager to share that knowledge with you.

About Jim
I am a New Orleans native, a Yale College and Yale Law School graduate, and ex-Bain consultant. As someone who has successfully navigated some of the most competitive academic and professional admissions processes in the United States, I understand the importance of making my story stand out. Let me help yours stand out, too.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I understand the importance of mentorship. At each stage of my career, I benefitted from inside knowledge that I would never have received from conducting only my own research. I am here to help my clients save time and energy by sharing the insight that I have gained by climbing up the ladder myself, one rung at a time.
