College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Hi, I'm Alice! I have extensive experience both writing and editing essays and working one-on-one with students as a mentor and in college prep, and would love to help you on your journey preparing your college application. In 2019, I graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and minors in Journalism and Humanistic Studies. My thesis, which was part philosophy and part journalism, was awarded the McCosh Prize for the best undergraduate thesis in any area of philosophy. At Princeton, I did extensive audio journalism, reporting, and art, including illustration and design for the weekly newspaper. I'm now working part-time towards my Master of Public Administration in Sustainability at Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Since graduating, I've lived in both Chicago and New York to work in impact, housing, and community development finance, and spent two years with Crimson Education to help students find a balanced spread of extracurricular activities, create leadership projects, and pursue reading and enrichment studies to suit their particular academic interests. I also serve as a mentor for recent Princeton graduates and current students working in public service, and each year, I interview high school students applying to Princeton as a volunteer for the Alumni Schools Committee. I love working one-on-one with students to help them find and pursue their passions, and I'm skilled at helping others find the narrative thread in their story. I treat others' writing with care; I'm a thorough and supportive editor who is committed to helping you find your voice and tell your story in college applications. Please reach out if you might like to work together this summer!

I worked in Emory University's Undergraduate Admission Office for four years, where I recruited and read applications from students across the country. There, I gained valuable insight into the undergraduate admission and merit scholarship selection process, and I understand the component parts necessary for a competitive application. I also earned my M.Ed. degree from Harvard's Graduate School of Education, and in the past two cycles, I have coached applicants 1:1 with successful outcomes across the board. My coaching experience includes the Common Application, UC and Cal State applications, the financial aid process, and numerous merit scholarship applications. While the process can be daunting, I look forward to working together to make it manageable and stress-free each step of the way. Let's connect!

Hello and welcome to my profile! As a first-generation college graduate, gaining admissions to college was incredibly enriching for me. I am passionate about education and love helping others get into their dream schools. I graduated with two bachelor's degree from Emory University with a full scholarship and later interviewed prospective candidates for admissions. I have firsthand experience in understanding what top colleges are looking for in applicants. I then was granted a Fulbright fellowship and pursued higher studies -- gaining an MBA at Harvard Business School. My experience as a Fulbright English Teacher has honed my ability to communicate effectively and mentor students. I am passionate about helping students craft compelling college applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

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 have a wealth of experience and achievements that uniquely qualify me to be an outstanding coach for students aspiring to enter undergraduate schools. As a graduate of the University of Chicago, I not only completed my studies with distinction but also received recognition as the top female student. This accomplishment speaks to my commitment to academic excellence and sets me apart as a role model for aspiring students. Furthermore, I was awarded scholarships and granted admission to renowned institutions, including Berkeley and other Ivy League schools. These accomplishments serve as concrete examples of the paths that potential clients themselves may aspire to walk, fostering trust and inspiration. Beyond my academic achievements, I have a diverse range of experiences that make me an aspirational coach for students. Throughout high school, I balanced my studies with employment in the restaurant industry, displaying a strong work ethic and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. As the valedictorian of my high school, I self-studied and successfully completed 17 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, demonstrating my self-motivation and intellectual curiosity. Moreover, my leadership roles as the captain of the Speech and Debate team and an officer of the Model United Nations (MUN) team showcase my effective communication and teamwork skills, which are invaluable assets for navigating the college admissions process. In addition to my accomplishments, I have a unique perspective on the college admissions process. I have experienced the challenges of mental health struggles firsthand, having been hospitalized at multiple points during my educational journey. This personal journey allows me to empathize with the anxieties and pressures that students face during this crucial time. I underwent a transformative period of self-reflection and evaluation in college, ultimately emerging with a clearer understanding of my own purposes and goals. I am passionate about helping others embark on their college journeys with a similar perspective, guiding them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their aspirations. By sharing my experiences and resources, I aim to make college admissions more accessible and empower students to navigate this process successfully. By incorporating specific examples of achievements, highlighting unique experiences, and sharing aspirational stories, I aim to build trust and resonate with potential clients seeking guidance in their quest to enter undergraduate schools.

I have extensive experience in writing and education, and therefore bring a unique perspective to college admissions coaching. As a current Fulbright Scholar, I have spent significant time crafting application essays for fellowships, and learning how to make these essays competitive. My time in Taiwan through Fulbright has also taught me to work on English writing with people from a wide range of backgrounds including internationally. As former Presidential Writer at The White House, I honed my skills in crafting precise and impactful narratives on extremely tight deadlines in a high pressure environment. My work as a tutor at SpiderSmart learning centers has equipped me with the tools to guide high schoolers through the intricacies of the application process, making sure that they put their stories, and their best foot forward. Additionally, my leadership roles in political campaigns have helped hone my ability to mentor and manage, which I apply to support students in achieving their academic goals. As a graduate of the University of Chicago, I also bring my own experience navigating the competitive college admissions process. I look forward to leveraging each of these skills now to help students tell their own stories in their college essays.

At Crimson Education, I perfected the art of personalized strategy. I help students discover their most meaningful stories before crafting compelling applications that have resulted in successful admission to Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, and many others. Having coached over 100 students, I am adept at navigating the admissions process from high school freshman year to college matriculation by creating precise roadmaps for profile development. In addition to domestic students, I have worked with internationals from China, South Korea, South Africa, The UAE, and many others. I understand how to help students stand out within their context. Let's work together to create a standout application that gets you where you want to go.
