I’m qualified to support college applicants because I’ve personally navigated the highly selective admissions process with strong results. I was admitted to over 15 top colleges and Ivy League Institutions, including MIT, Brown, Penn, and Cornell—representing a personal admissions success rate of over 90%. Through this experience, I developed a deep understanding of how top colleges evaluate academic rigor, intellectual curiosity, and personal narrative. I now help students apply these same principles to clarify their story, highlight their strengths, and present applications that are authentic, thoughtful, and compelling. What distinguishes my coaching is my focus on storytelling and self-understanding. I help students move beyond resumes and accolades to clearly express their intellectual curiosity, motivation, and personal values. The result is applications that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned—qualities that selective colleges consistently look for.

I am a 2021 Wharton graduate, with 2 years of professional application coaching experience. During my MBA, I coached 15+ MBA students with career guidance, resume critiques, and interview prep. I first encountered coaching when I was applying to matriculate as an MBA in 2019. At that time, I realized how important an application coach could be, not only for the specialized toolset and knowledge base, but also for the encouragement during a high pressure application process. I am motivated to be that source of calm and focus during what can otherwise be a stressful application process. I am excited to dive into your background and help you uncover a narrative that will help you show you stand out to top programs.

I'm Bryan, a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a double major in International Relations and Latin American & Latino Studies. As a first-generation Latino college graduate, I learned to navigate the college admissions process by myself and am passionate about helping others through this intimidating process. I have guided many mentees and peers through the college admissions process through reviewing college essays, giving guidance on test prep time management, crafting narrative as a prospective applicant, developing leadership skills, and preparing for admissions interviews. These students have been accepted to an array of colleges including UPenn, Stanford, Harvard, Drexel, and Claremont McKenna. As a coach, I believe a holistic approach across leadership skills, academic excellence, and character are critical to standing out in the competitive college admissions process. I take the time to understand where the student is in their admissions process to develop a baseline and collaborate to understand pain points in the process and curate a plan to best prepare for the college admissions process. After preparation I am here to assist as developments come up, providing guidance on selecting a school, how to navigate financial packages, and other stressful decisions in the process. I am here to help demystify the college admissions process and make your life easier!
