Perfect for International Students and Transfers
I transferred to Brown University as an international student (one of less than 10 in my 150+ transfer cohort) in my junior year (from the American University of Sharjah), so I have a ton of expertise in what it takes to get into elite colleges as an international. Was also accepted or waitlisted at Penn, Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Barnard and Emory. Whether you need help with your application strategy, essays, or interview prep, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Reach out to start your journey to success! As a Teaching Assistant and Mentor at Brown University, I have a proven track record of helping students excel in their academic and entrepreneurial pursuits. I have mentored over 20 student teams on business models, pitching, and fundraising, with 85% of students reporting that my feedback significantly aided their learning. Additionally, I have coached over a dozen individuals through the college admissions process.
