College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome! I am a current medical student at the California University of Science and Medicine and a UCLA graduate in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology with a passion for helping students successfully navigate the college admissions process, especially the UC-to-UC transfer pathway. I personally transferred from UC Riverside to UCLA, so I understand firsthand how challenging and confusing this process can be. I do not just teach theory. I share the exact strategies, insights, and lessons I used to make a successful transfer, from building a strong academic narrative to positioning your experiences effectively. My goal is to help you craft a compelling, authentic application that highlights your strengths, growth, and long-term aspirations. If you are aiming for a competitive UC transfer and want guidance from someone who has done it, let’s work together to make your college goals a reality.

I graduated from Yale University as a Global Affairs major, magna cum laude, and have an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I was an Arjay Miller Scholar in the top 10% of the class. My background includes serving as Co-President of Women in Management at Stanford, where I supported women-focused admissions programming, and as an alumni interviewer for Yale University. With experience in private equity and leadership roles at Morgan Stanley, I have a deep understanding of what top undergraduate programs, business schools, and companies seek. I've supported coaching clients in crafting compelling applications and navigating the competitive admissions process. My educational experiences transformed my life- I want others to have their own rewarding college and graduate school experiences too. Let's work together to make your educational dreams a reality!

With over two decades of experience in higher education admissions and enrollment management, I bring a deep understanding of the undergraduate admissions landscape. I’ve successfully guided students through the complex college application process, offering support in identifying best-fit schools, crafting compelling personal statements, and navigating financial aid options. My professional background includes leadership roles in admissions offices at various colleges, giving me an insider’s perspective on what institutions are looking for in applicants and how students can present their unique strengths with clarity and confidence. As a first-generation graduate student and the only member of my family to earn a doctorate, I’m especially attuned to the challenges faced by students who are navigating this process without prior guidance or support. I combine strategic insight with empathetic, individualized coaching—helping students and families reduce stress, stay organized, and move forward with purpose. Whether working with students from competitive high schools or those with nontraditional paths, I aim to empower them to tell their story authentically and make informed choices about their future.

Being the daughter of immigrations, oldest of three siblings AND a first generation college student here in the US, you could say that I had a lot of hurdles to jump over when I was applying to undergrad. Having my residency status stacked against me as an international student, I discovered the hard way how difficult getting into a competitive undergrad program could be when you do not have the right tools to help yourself. Since then, I have always made an effort to work with high school students specifically so that I can pay forward everything that I learned. While i was able to figure things out on my own - there was so much struggle that I would not wish on anyone else. Whether you are a citizen or not, I would be happy to help guide you through the undergraduate application process. We can discuss schools to apply too and work on your application and essays together to give you the best chances of getting into the school of your dreams.

I've spent over a decade on every side of the admissions table — as a Harvard PhD who taught over 30 courses to more than 1,000 undergraduates, reviewed admissions applications, and served as a Senior Advisor on the Tutorial and Advising Board. I've worked alongside Nobel-winning faculty and nationally recognized writers, and I know exactly what the candidacy profile of a student who gets in looks like. More than 300 of my students have been admitted to Stanford, Princeton, Brown, Vanderbilt, Cornell, NYU, UC Berkeley, UChicago, and many more. My approach is personal and narrative-driven. I help students uncover what makes them distinctive and build a cohesive application story — from Common App essays to activity lists to interview prep. I speak five languages and work especially well with international and multilingual families navigating an unfamiliar system.

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'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. My background in buy-side equity research taught me to spot what's truly valuable, and that skill extends perfectly to helping you understand what makes your story stand out. I've walked the path you're on. I know what it takes to get into a top school, how to navigate competitive environments, and how to communicate your authentic self when stakes feel high. Whether you're an athlete, an artist, or someone with a unique story to tell, I genuinely believe every student has something colleges are looking for. We just need to find it and frame it right. Beyond the application, I'm here to help you think strategically about your choices, build confidence in your voice, and create a narrative that feels true to who you are. No generic templates. No fluff. Just honest conversation about your strengths, your goals, and how to present yourself in the best light. Let's make this process feel less stressful and more exciting. You've got this. I'm just here to help you show it.

Hello! I've gone through the application process for getting into school 4 times in the past decades. I've earned degrees from Stanford University (BS), Georgia Institute of Technology (MS), and Harvard University (MBA and MS). I especially enjoy writing and editing essays; I had my undergraduate essay for Stanford featured in a book titled "50 successful Stanford Application Essays : Write Your Way Into the College of your Choice", was a finalist for the Boothe Prize for Excellence in Freshman Writing, and scored in the 99% percentile for verbal reasoning on both the GMAT and SAT. I've also had the honor and privilege of serving as an Admissions Interview Volunteer for my alma mater for a few years. As a result of all of this experience, I believe that I have a deep understanding of the college admissions process and what it takes to get into a great university. I have a track record of helping students achieve their goals, whether it's through mentoring programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters or facilitating workshops with organizations like /dev/color. I've had experience as a teaching assistant at Stanford and done research work in graduate education so I have a unique perspective on the challenges students face and how to overcome them. Let's work together to create a personalized plan that will set you up for success.
