College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I've been tutoring students from K-10, college, masters, and doctoral programs for the past decade. I provide writing and analytical support services, providing expertise with college admissions essays and resumes.

I help students applying to CS, engineering, and tech-adjacent undergraduate programs build applications that show both intellectual curiosity and real-world direction. My perspective comes from a technical master's degree from Nanyang Technological University and 15+ years in global tech, product, and operations roles at Amazon, Rakuten, and FedEx. I work with students and families on school list strategy, activity and project positioning, personal statements, supplemental essays, resume or activities lists, recommendation strategy, and interview prep. I am especially useful when a student has coding projects, robotics or research, competitions, startups, internships, or cross-cultural experience but needs help turning that raw material into a coherent admissions story. I coach in English, Japanese, and Chinese and can support applicants targeting universities in the US, UK, and Asia.

I'm Brandon, a recent Columbia Engineering grad (Computer Science + Entrepreneurship, 3.985 GPA) who just finished navigating college apps and MBB recruiting. I know what it actually takes to translate a technical background into a story that resonates, because I had to figure it out myself. In high school, I landed offers from Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Berkeley, Rice, Johns Hopkins, NYU, and UIUC. At Columbia, I landed a BCG full-time offer through my own outreach strategy (not on-campus recruiting). And I've spent the past four years mentoring 15+ students from my hometown, my high school network, and my church community into top schools - working through their essays and positioning with them one-on-one. What I bring to coaching is a fresh perspective from someone who just went through it. If you're a STEM student who doesn't know how to make your resume "tell a story," or an applicant trying to figure out how to stand out, I've been in that exact spot. I can help you audit where you are, figure out what's actually compelling about your background, and turn that into something that clicks with college admissions committees or MBB interviewers. Happy to chat - no fluff, just honest feedback.

Hello and welcome to my profile! As a current MBA candidate at the Kellogg School of Management and a former Associate Consultant at L.E.K. Consulting, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic thinking and problem-solving to my coaching. My journey began as a Teach For America Corps Member, where I honed my skills in mentoring and guiding students to achieve their academic goals. I am passionate about helping students navigate the college admissions process, drawing on my background in economics and history from Northwestern University. I've also worked to help several dozen Chicago students craft their applications through Chicago Scholars. Whether you need assistance with crafting compelling essays or strategizing your application, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and make your college dreams a reality!

College admissions can feel overwhelming—especially if you don’t have family members or mentors who’ve gone through the process before. I’m passionate about making the application and college decision journey clearer, more accessible, and less intimidating, particularly for first-generation students and anyone who feels like they’re figuring it out on their own. As an educator, I’ve spent years helping students discover their strengths, set meaningful goals, and express their ideas with confidence. Those same skills are at the heart of writing strong essays, completing applications, and choosing schools that truly fit who you are and where you want to go. I know how powerful it can be when someone breaks the process down step by step, and I strive to make each part feel manageable, understandable, and even exciting. I also bring experience from working in university Disability Services, where I supported college students in navigating complex systems, advocating for themselves, and accessing the resources they needed to succeed. That work gave me a deeper understanding of how colleges really work—and what helps students thrive once they arrive, not just what helps them get admitted. My goal as a coach isn’t just to help you submit strong applications. It’s to help you feel confident, informed, and in control of your educational journey every step of the way.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a strong academic background from the University of Chicago and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, I bring a unique blend of expertise in psychology, neuroscience, and public health to my coaching. My professional journey at L.E.K. Consulting, where I advanced from Associate to Senior Consultant, has honed my skills in strategic analysis and client engagement. I have been actively involved in firm recruitment, interviewing candidates, and mentoring new associates, which has given me a deep understanding of what top institutions and companies look for in applicants. I also have a deep pre-med background, as I completed the track through all 4 years of college, and can always help guide through many of the tough decisions we have to make during that time. I am passionate about helping students craft compelling college applications that highlight their unique strengths and potential. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!
