enn College-Wharton Dual Degree | 17 Top-20 Acceptances
I’m qualified to coach undergrad applicants because I’ve succeeded in highly selective admissions myself and have also helped many others do the same. I was admitted to 17 Top-20 undergraduate institutions and went on to attend the University of Pennsylvania as a dual-degree student across the College of Arts and Sciences and Wharton. My own admissions journey gave me firsthand insight into what top schools look for and how to build an application that is not only impressive, but also cohesive, authentic, and memorable. Beyond my personal experience, I founded Liyue Consulting, where I’ve helped 100+ students gain admission to their dream colleges. Through that work, I’ve developed deep experience in activity planning, essay review, school selection, and interview preparation. I understand that strong college applications are not built at the last minute; they come from thoughtful positioning, clear storytelling, and a strategy tailored to each student’s strengths and goals. My goal as a coach is to help students maximize their potential and present the strongest possible version of themselves.
