Lila truly saved me. I was so stuck on the whole college admissions process, I had only one month left to apply to all the top schools and without a story i knew how to tell or any essays done. Lila worked really hard with me, spent extra time reviewing essays out of scheduled time, and truly helped me create my very own special, compelling narrative. I just got accepted to my top choice, Princeton, but also have so many amazing offers from other top universities, and none I would have expected to get into without Lila’s help. She truly cares, is always brutally honest (and some times I really needed it) , and really has that expert insight that I don’t think someone who isn’t as close to the process as her could’ve given me. Trust me, go with Lila if you’re seeking for top US admissions!

Lila Favilli is a wonderful, positive person who helped me immensely. I was nervous to apply to the United States with a low SAT score and AS Level results consisting of one A and two Bs. With Lila's support, I managed to write compelling essays and get my predicted grades up. With my average grades and a very good selection of extracurricular activities I managed to get accepted by Penn state, UW-Madison, Purdue University, the Univeristy of Washington and I even got waitlisted to University of Chicago! Our biggest success was me securing a spot at my dream school University of Texas at Austin! Lila gave me hope and her continuous encouragement helped me get back on my academic track. Thank you Lila! Forever grateful!

Varun helped me land two remote roles within three months of each other in the current job market. He provided thorough resume reviews and multiple mock interviews tailored to different roles. His feedback was actionable and strategic, guiding me to approach the entire job hunt process in the most effective way possible.

Maya is amazing! She helped me through the entire essay process for my MBA application. She was incredibly sharp at spotting the weak points in my drafts and showed me exactly how to highlight my strengths for the admissions committee. Her feedback was always quick and straight to the point, which saved me so much time and energy.

Working with Lila was, quite simply, transformative. She helped me excavate experiences I had long overlooked and shape them into essays that felt genuinely, unmistakably mine. Her instinct for narrative elevated my applications beyond anything I could have achieved alone. I secured my place at universities like Georgia Tech and Imperial College London, and I have no doubt that Lila’s guidance was instrumental in making that happen.

Varun is one of the biggest help I had to achieve my career goals. He provided me with the right approach and the tool kit (hard and soft) to achieve my goals.

Martin is one of the few people out there that actually understands finance in big tech and always ready to help you achieve that goal and dream. Always new insight and knowledge anytime I speak with him.

Kim was an invaluable resource during my application process to international relations graduate programs for the fall 2026 cycle. She gave me timely (VERY! less than 48 hour turnaround) and constructive feedback on content, style, and grammar in my essays. Having worked with Kim on my college application essays in 2019, none of this was surprising to me. I could not recommend her more for applicants looking for support with developing/polishing essays for college and graduate programs.

Kim was amazing to work with on my college essay! I started the process with no clear topic and no idea where to begin, but she helped me sort through my ideas and turn them into a strong, thoughtful essay. She made the entire process feel less stressful, gave me confidence in my writing, and helped me communicate my story in a clear and meaningful way. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with college essays!

I worked with Charlotte on my resume and interview prep and she was honestly super helpful. She gave really thoughtful, practical feedback and helped me feel way more confident going into interviews. I especially appreciated how she tailored everything to my experience instead of giving generic advice. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for support with your job search!
