About Kndeya

I am Cornell University graduate on a full-ride scholarship, bringing first-hand insight into accessing highly selective, high-value education. I leverage this background, along with years of specialized college counseling, to guide ambitious students toward top-tier universities and competitive pre-college programs.​ Over the last nine admission cycles, I have supported more than 170 students globally, helping them earn 60+ Ivy League offers and acceptances to other top-tier U.S. and international institutions. My students have collectively secured upwards of 6 million USD in need-based and merit-based scholarships, significantly reducing the cost of their education. In addition to college admissions, I have guided multiple students to admission into hyper-selective summer programs such as MIT’s Research Science Institute (RSI) and multiple cohorts of the University of Pennsylvania’s Management & Technology Summer Institute (M&TSI).​ My counseling style is structured, data-informed, and high-touch: I set clear expectations, break complex processes into manageable steps, and hold students accountable while championing their growth. I specialize in working with intellectually curious, impact-driven students aiming for STEM, business, and dual-degree pathways, as well as those targeting competitive summer and research programs to stand out in the applicant pool. Above all, I am deeply invested in helping students clarify their narrative, design distinctive passion projects, and translate their strengths into compelling applications that resonate with top admissions committees. Families who choose to work with me can expect a direct yet supportive partner who combines elite admissions expertise with real-world strategic insight to help students reach their most ambitious goals. Some of the school that my students have been accepted into are: Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, Stanford University, Brown University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, Northwestern University, Northeastern University, Johns Hopkins University, California Institute of Technology, Rice University, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Berkeley, New York University, Vanderbilt University, Emory University, Georgetown University, University of Southern California, Georgia Institute of Technology, Williams College, Amherst College, University of Michigan, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon University
