College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Hi! I’m Elana—a recent Vanderbilt grad with a degree in Computer Science and Philosophy. I know firsthand how overwhelming the college application process can feel. However, looking back, I know that this journey can be transformative, empowering, and even fun—with the right support. For over seven years, I’ve helped students unlock their potential, guiding them to top schools and dream jobs at places like BCG, Microsoft, Amazon, and other Big Tech companies. My philosophy is simple: every student has a story worth telling, and when you approach your application with intention and authenticity, you’ll discover the school where you truly belong. My coaching goes beyond perfecting essays or resumes—it’s about helping you uncover your unique strengths and develop as an independent thinker. I’ll be your partner throughout this journey, challenging you to ask meaningful questions, reflect deeply, and shape a narrative that’s authentically yours. By building these skills now, you’ll not only strengthen your college applications but also build a solid foundation for your academic and professional pursuits. Most importantly, I want to make this process less stressful, help you discover more about yourself, and ensure you enjoy the journey along the way. Let’s work together to turn your goals into reality.

As a current student at Dartmouth College with a study abroad experience at the University of Oxford, I bring a unique perspective to the college admissions process. In particular, my area of expertise is crafting and editing college essays.

I have successfully coached 2 students (both of whom were accepted into Ivy League schools), helping them craft compelling narratives and navigate the complexities of college admissions. Whether you're looking to refine your essays or strategize your application approach, I'm here to help you stand out. Let's work together to achieve your college goals!

Hi there! I'm Vania, a current student at Stanford University, also admitted to Oxford University. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of guiding ambitious international students to acceptance at elite institutions, including Columbia University, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and several of the Top 5 U.K. universities. My journey isn’t just about grades and acceptance letters; it’s about discovering your one-of-a-kind voice. Drawing on my own experiences—and supported by a track record of coaching students to success—I help applicants uncover personal stories that resonate deeply with admissions readers. We dig beyond the resume to find those authentic moments—maybe a small everyday experience or a deeply reflective insight—that become the compelling centerpiece of your application. This approach reflects what top coaches emphasize: essays that offer heartfelt insight, not just bullet-point achievements. Together, we'll craft essays that don’t just tell your story—they invite the reader into your world. Expect thoughtful brainstorming, rigorous revisions, and feedback that pushes your narrative to shine. You’re not just applying—you’re leaving an impression, and I’m here to make sure it's a memorable one.

I’m qualified to guide students through the college admissions process because I’ve been through it at the highest levels of success myself. I earned admission to Brown University with a likely letter, which reflects not only strong academics but also a well-rounded application that stood out among a competitive pool. In addition, I was awarded the Banneker/Key Scholarship at the University of Maryland — the school’s most prestigious full-ride merit scholarship given to only a small number of top applicants. On top of that, I received the Gates Millennium Scholarship, a nationally competitive and prestigious award that recognizes outstanding leadership, academic excellence, and community service. These achievements show that I understand how to craft an application that resonates with admissions committees and scholarship boards alike. I can help students identify and showcase their strengths, position themselves competitively, and maximize opportunities for both admission and funding.
