College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As a professional writer and Dartmouth graduate, I help students navigate the college application process by turning their experiences into powerful, memorable stories. I specialize in personal statements and supplemental essays, guiding students to find their voice, sharpen their message, and submit applications that feel authentic, polished, and compelling.

When applying to college, my goal was to get into an Ivy League school. Throughout high school, I taught myself what I needed to do to achieve this, seeking resources and guidance everywhere I could find. Now, having attended, multiple top universities, I can use my extensive experience to guide others through the challenging but extremely rewarding process. I can advise on topics including developing a strategy for successful admissions (starting early in high school), preparing competitive application packages, and prepping for standardized testing and other requirements. Successful applications include Cornell University, Duke University, Vanderbilt University, and Rice University, among others. Please reach out, I am happy to help!

Hi! So nice to meet you. I bring a unique perspective to admissions coaching and crafting applications, having attended Harvard for my undergrad and now attending Oxford for 2 Masters degrees in public policy and pharmacology. I’m also a US Rhodes Scholar from Chicago, IL so am happy to chat about post-college fellowship life and application strategy as well. After my time at Oxford, I’ll be attending medical school so can help you with MCAT prep and medical school essays/interviews too! Happy to be flexible with you. Extracurricularly, as a co-founder of Project Cascade and a Board Director at Raise Uganda Now, I have honed my skills in leadership and mentorship, which I apply to help students navigate the complex application process to college, medical school, or competitive fellowships. My experience as a researcher at the Broad Institute and a guest lecturer in infectious disease modeling further enriches my ability to guide students in crafting compelling narratives that highlight their unique strengths and aspirations. Having been a college consultant, MCAT tutor, and chemistry teaching assistant for years now, I am passionate about helping you achieve your academic/professional dreams. So excited to work with you!

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.
