What's included
Most admissions coaches strictly limit calls and facetime. My retainer package is different: no clock-watching, no unnecessary restrictions. If you need extra support, I give it. If something’s not working, we refine until it’s great. The goal isn’t to check off tasks or maximize efficiency for myself—it’s to craft an application that gets you in. I never, ever hand off your work to less experienced consultants. When you sign up, you work directly with me—no assistants, no recent college grads following a script. That’s why I only take as many students as I can personally support. Quality over quantity, always.
- Polished application drafts of essays for up to 5 schools, as well as the Common App activity list

Abigail L.
Harvard Grad | 600+ Students into Top Colleges | 13+ Years Experience
Hi, I'm Abigail! I’m a college admissions consultant with 13 years of experience helping students craft standout applications that don’t just check boxes—they tell stories that make admissions officers want to say yes. I grew up in San Diego, where I somehow spent all my time reading and never learned to surf (blame my English teacher mom). I earned my English degree (cum laude) from Harvard, with a minor in Visual and Environmental Studies, and then started my career tutoring in California, where I got to know two of the trickiest applications—Stanford and the UC system—inside and out. I then earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Pittsburgh and collaborated with the EdTech company Newsela, creating content for educators and deepening my interest in the intersection of storytelling and education. Through it all, story-driven admissions consulting has been my home base. Recently, I’ve worked with some of the top admissions agencies, including one led by a former Ivy League admissions director, as well as firms specializing in transfers and international applicants. I absorbed their knowledge—and then struck out on my own. Why? Because I knew there was a better way. Larger agencies often rely on rigid, assembly-line methods, but I wanted to offer something more personal: fully customized strategy and unlimited support. No cookie-cutter timelines. No caps on communication. Just personalized strategy and unlimited consulting designed around you.
