College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional admissions coach (Ex-Trinity Admissions) here to help you navigate every stage of the college application process. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I applied to college, I faced fierce competition while striving for academic excellence, securing scholarships, and balancing extracurricular commitments. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling application but also how to adapt under pressure—a skill I instill in my students as they navigate their own challenges. Later, while working in admissions at Trinity College, I gained firsthand insight into how applications are reviewed, what makes an applicant stand out, and how decisions are made behind the scenes. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like resilience, leadership, and personal growth—can make all the difference in a competitive application. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes an applicant shine—not just on paper, but in the minds of admissions committees. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a high school student exploring your options, a junior or senior preparing your application, or a transfer student looking for the right fit, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to progress while maintaining wellness amidst academic stress. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your path to college together—I’d love to help you succeed!

4 years ago, I got into every UC I applied to. Now as a senior at UCLA, I want to help mentor students on how to get into their dream school. From crafting your personal statement to refining extracurriculars, I want to be a guide to underclassmen in their college decision journey.

Neither of my parents attended college in the United States nor knew what the application process entailed. I know that for so many students and their families, navigating the application process feels like trying to look into a black box. But now, on the other side, I know it's not a scary unknown. The strongest applications are the ones that convey your true self -- your hobbies, your quirks, your passions, and your dreams. That sounds simple, but it's much, much harder than trying to just write down what you *think* application committees want to read. I've spent years figuring out my own story and finding the most compelling way to write about it for my college application to Harvard and my graduate applications to Yale Law School and Oxford. I'm eager to help you find your story and feel confident in it.

I was accepted or waitlisted to all four schools to which I applied (BYU, UCLA, Caltech, and Stanford). My most recent consulting experience has been for master's programs (mainly MBA), but my writing skills and strategic thinking can help candidates apply to their dream undergraduate programs.

Hi! I am a results-oriented coach who will work with you to create a structured plan to tackle your applications. As a Duke University graduate with dual degrees in Political Science and Computer Science, I bring a unique background in both STEM and humanities. I focus on understanding underlying statistics and which schools to apply to, and how to tie your essays together and sell yourself. My experience as a member of the Duke Debating Society and my leadership roles in the Air Force ROTC have honed my skills in communication, leadership, and innovation. I have a proven track record of success, from joining as an intelligence leader of the highly selective United States Space Force (50/4000 selected in 2021) to the high-stakes environment at the Pentagon where I was 1/12 officers chosen to start my career there. Whether you're aiming for top-tier universities or seeking to stand out in your application, I'm here to help you craft a compelling narrative and achieve your academic goals. Let's connect and make your college dreams a reality!

I have extensive experience coaching students to get into top undergraduate programs across the country. I was a Philosophy major at Northwestern University, where I scored high marks. I am able to essay review and review applications amongst other areas

Hello! I am a JD / MBA candidate at Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. I have a BA from Yale and an MPhil from Cambridge. I have professional experience in investment banking, private equity and venture capital. I offer admissions advice for law school, business school, and undergraduate candidates. I also offer LSAT tutoring. I generally do not offer these services, but I am saving up for my wedding! All clients welcome!

I've worked with Matriculate, a service for low income high achieving high school students that assists them in applying to college. I worked with two students and met with them regularly to help on application materials and researching school.

As a first-generation college student and graduate of Harvard University, I know firsthand how powerful the right guidance can be. My background as a marketing consultant also means I bring a strong storytelling and strategy lens to every application. Students I’ve worked with have been accepted to their dream schools — from leading private high schools to universities such as Harvard University, Cornell University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Georgetown University. I tailor my approach to each student, helping them discover their voice, shape a powerful narrative, and submit applications they feel proud of. Let's work together to craft a compelling narrative that sets you apart in the competitive college admissions landscape.

For the past five years, I’ve helped high school seniors navigate the college admissions process with confidence and clarity. My focus is on helping each student uncover the story only they can tell—one that feels deeply personal, honest, and true to who they are. I believe the best essays don’t come from trying to impress, but from reflecting on what really matters to you. I’ve worked with students from all kinds of backgrounds, always with the same goal: to be their biggest cheerleader and most thoughtful challenger. Whether we’re brainstorming topics or polishing a final draft, I’m here to help you find your voice and share it with the world in a way that feels both powerful and authentic.
