I only take on 3–5 clients per application round to ensure I can dedicate real time and energy to each person's application. R1 slots tend to fill first since that's when most serious applicants start working with a coach. If you're targeting R1 2026–27, feel free to reach out early so we can get ahead of your timeline.

Scored a 338 on the GRE
I raised my GRE score from a 315 to a 335+ in four weeks while working full-time — no tutor, no prep course. I figured out which strategies actually move the needle and which study methods are a waste of time, and I've since helped over 10 people do the same. If you're short on time and need to make every study session count, that's exactly where I can help. I don't believe in grinding through thousands of practice problems without a plan. I'll help you diagnose where your points are hiding, build a focused study schedule that fits around your life, and learn the test-taking strategies that got me from average to 99th percentile in under a month. I also coach on MBA admissions, so if the GRE is part of a bigger application game plan, we can make sure your prep timeline and target score fit your overall strategy.

About Raj
I was a straight-C student in high school, dealing with personal circumstances that made academics feel like an afterthought. I didn't have a counselor mapping out my path or parents who'd been through the process. I figured it out on my own — turned things around at Claremont McKenna, built a career across startups and government, and applied to Stanford GSB without a consultant. I'm on campus right now, and I know what this place is actually looking for because I see it every day. I'm not here to give you a formula. I'm here to help you find your story and tell it in a way that lands.
Why do I coach?
Nobody coached me through any of this. I didn't have an admissions consultant, I didn't come from a family that knew how the game worked, and I made every mistake you can make before I figured out what actually matters in an application. That's exactly why I coach — I know what it's like to not have someone in your corner, and I know how much further you can go when you do. I want to be the person I didn't have.
