College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Luckily for you, I have been through the pain of school applications and selection processes more than once. I have earned my bachelor's degree and am working on a Doctor of Dental Surgery and pursuing approval for a Master's in Public Health. Let's get you into the program of your desire so that you can achieve greatness.

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.

Welcome to my profile! As a distinguished graduate of the University of Utah School of Dentistry, I have a strong academic background and a passion for innovation, which I bring to my role as a college admissions coach. My experience on the admissions committee at the University of Utah has equipped me with insider knowledge of what top schools are looking for in applicants. I have also developed digital applications to enhance educational tools, showcasing my commitment to integrating technology with education. Currently, I am a partner at Kids Smile Dental and Orthodontics and an adjunct professor at Baylor University, where I continue to mentor and guide students. If you're looking to craft a standout college application, let's connect and create a strategy tailored to your unique strengths and aspirations.

Originally from California, Ahab graduated from Harvard University, where he majored in Chemistry and Neurobiology and minored in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. He later pursued graduate study at the University of Michigan. Ahab brings over eight years of experience in college admissions counseling, a decade of teaching, and six years of research to his work with students. He has supported applicants in gaining admission to some of the most selective colleges and universities in the United States, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Williams, and Swarthmore. Alongside his admissions work, Ahab has a strong background in education and mental health. He founded Blue Talks, a non-profit dedicated to adolescent mental health, and served as President of the Education Bridge Institute (EBI), an organization focused on translating research-based educational practices into the classroom. In higher education, he has taught a wide range of courses at Harvard, including physics, neuroscience, calculus, and the university’s renowned computer science course, CS50. Ahab’s goal when working with families and students is to combine rigorous strategy with genuine care. He knows that the admissions process can often feel intimidating or overwhelming, and he is dedicated to guiding students through it with clarity and confidence. By helping students identify their unique strengths and craft compelling narratives, he ensures they make thoughtful choices that align with their backgrounds and aspirations, ultimately thriving at the institutions best suited to their ambitions.

When I was in your shoes as a high school student, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools despite having attended a public school in Kentucky that could not offer me admissions counseling: Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and UPenn. I have brought this understanding to my clients, who have been admitted to ALL 8 Ivy League colleges. With these same strategies, in my senior year I was also admitted to all three of the deferred MBA programs for undergraduates: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one!) 💯

I'm an MIT grad and current MBA student at Columbia, but more importantly, I've spent years thinking deeply about what makes someone compelling to colleges.
