Applied to and was admitted to several UC and Ivy League schools during my undergraduate application process in 2019.

Before graduating from my undergraduate university, I again received admission to top graduate programs at schools such as UPenn, MIT, and Yale.

I had a lot of varied interests in high school from robotics to debate, and when it came time for college applications, I had no idea what I wanted to do in the future. I was interested in the collaborative nature of business, enjoyed hands-on building with engineering, and also loved learning about current events and policy solutions through public policy. I spent a lot of time crafting a narrative that encompassed all my interests along a single thread, and spent effort creating individual supplements for each school. At the end of the day, my effort paid off and when it came time to choose between acceptances, I had gotten into Georgia Tech for Aerospace Engineering, NYU Stern for business, and Georgetown for public policy. I've since helped several others navigate the college application process with an emphasis on creating an essay and strategy that best reflects each student and their goals.

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional admissions coach (Ex-Trinity Admissions) here to help you navigate every stage of the college application process. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I applied to college, I faced fierce competition while striving for academic excellence, securing scholarships, and balancing extracurricular commitments. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling application but also how to adapt under pressure—a skill I instill in my students as they navigate their own challenges. Later, while working in admissions at Trinity College, I gained firsthand insight into how applications are reviewed, what makes an applicant stand out, and how decisions are made behind the scenes. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like resilience, leadership, and personal growth—can make all the difference in a competitive application. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes an applicant shine—not just on paper, but in the minds of admissions committees. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a high school student exploring your options, a junior or senior preparing your application, or a transfer student looking for the right fit, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to progress while maintaining wellness amidst academic stress. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your path to college together—I’d love to help you succeed!

Like most people working on college admissions, I don't have family that went to Ivy+ schools. I pulled together information from my school career office, from friends and coworkers, and, of course, from Reddit. The process felt intimidating and secretive, and the difficulty of the process increased my anxiety as I waited for results. This is why I coach. The college application process is overwhelming, and no one should feel like they have to figure it out on their own. My goal is to simplify and illuminate the admissions process, and to give you the tools and confidence you need to present your best self. My path has been focused on public interest, but my coaching is about your dream, whether that's big law, policy, academia, or beyond. Together we'll address your goals and your fears to tell your story honestly and authentically. As a Stanford Law student with a strong foundation in Political Science from the University of Chicago, I bring a wealth of experience in advocacy and social justice to my coaching. My journey includes impactful internships at renowned organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and Earthjustice. I am passionate about helping students navigate the admissions process and rely on my past leadership experiences to help you with your goals. Whether you're crafting your essays selecting the right extracurriculars, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to make your dreams a reality.
