Mercedes’s College Qualifications

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

Mercedes has helped clients get into these schools:

I’m qualified to support college applicants because I’ve personally navigated the highly selective admissions process with strong results. I was admitted to over 15 top colleges and Ivy League Institutions, including MIT, Brown, Penn, and Cornell—representing a personal admissions success rate of over 90%. Through this experience, I developed a deep understanding of how top colleges evaluate academic rigor, intellectual curiosity, and personal narrative. I now help students apply these same principles to clarify their story, highlight their strengths, and present applications that are authentic, thoughtful, and compelling. What distinguishes my coaching is my focus on storytelling and self-understanding. I help students move beyond resumes and accolades to clearly express their intellectual curiosity, motivation, and personal values. The result is applications that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned—qualities that selective colleges consistently look for.
