College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Neither of my parents attended college in the United States nor knew what the application process entailed. I know that for so many students and their families, navigating the application process feels like trying to look into a black box. But now, on the other side, I know it's not a scary unknown. The strongest applications are the ones that convey your true self -- your hobbies, your quirks, your passions, and your dreams. That sounds simple, but it's much, much harder than trying to just write down what you *think* application committees want to read. I've spent years figuring out my own story and finding the most compelling way to write about it for my college application to Harvard and my graduate applications to Yale Law School and Oxford. I'm eager to help you find your story and feel confident in it.

Hi! I am a results-oriented coach who will work with you to create a structured plan to tackle your applications. As a Duke University graduate with dual degrees in Political Science and Computer Science, I bring a unique background in both STEM and humanities. I focus on understanding underlying statistics and which schools to apply to, and how to tie your essays together and sell yourself. My experience as a member of the Duke Debating Society and my leadership roles in the Air Force ROTC have honed my skills in communication, leadership, and innovation. I have a proven track record of success, from joining as an intelligence leader of the highly selective United States Space Force (50/4000 selected in 2021) to the high-stakes environment at the Pentagon where I was 1/12 officers chosen to start my career there. Whether you're aiming for top-tier universities or seeking to stand out in your application, I'm here to help you craft a compelling narrative and achieve your academic goals. Let's connect and make your college dreams a reality!

I achieved the highest possible level of scholarship (Presidential Scholarship, "Thomas S. Monson Scholar") coming into undergraduate study at Brigham Young University (BYU), awarded to only 50 students in each incoming class of 7000+ students. I've since helped students of many backgrounds successfully apply to BYU, including international students.

I have extensive experience coaching students to get into top undergraduate programs across the country. I was a Philosophy major at Northwestern University, where I scored high marks. I am able to essay review and review applications amongst other areas

Revant graduated with honors from Dartmouth College, where he double majored in Economics and Japanese. Coming from a public high school in Texas—far from the traditional Ivy League feeder pipeline—he understands firsthand the challenges and opportunities faced by students from non-target backgrounds in the admissions process. His experience navigating this path has equipped him with a clear understanding of what makes an application stand out, particularly for students without access to elite college counseling. Revant works with mentees to craft authentic, well-structured narratives that highlight both academic strengths and personal growth, while offering practical, honest feedback at every stage of the process. His approach is grounded in empathy, strategic thinking, and a belief that students can achieve exceptional outcomes without having to fit a narrow mold.

As a Stanford student who was also admitted to Harvard, Yale, and Wharton (to name a few), I’ve experienced firsthand what it takes to stand out in the highly competitive college admissions process. My work as a mentor with the Summer Science Program and as a tutor with Curious Cardinals has honed my ability to help students identify and communicate their authentic stories with confidence. I understand how to transform academic and personal experiences into powerful narratives that capture the attention of admissions committees. Beyond the application itself, I’m passionate about helping students discover their intellectual curiosities, define their goals, and approach the college process with clarity and purpose.

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!
