Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Coaches, Events, and Resources

I won a Marshall Scholarship and I am now reading for a DPhil at Oxford on it. That means I have sat on the applicant's side of the most competitive scholarship processes in the world, recently, and I know what the written application and the interview panel actually reward. Most fellowship applications fail for the same reason. The candidate lists achievements instead of making an argument. Marshall, Rhodes, Gates and Fulbright committees are not choosing the most decorated person in the room. They are choosing the person whose past, proposed course of study, and stated purpose form a single coherent line. That line is what we build. What we work on: - Choosing the right award, the right UK universities and the right course, which is where most applications are quietly lost - The personal statement and the proposed academic programme, drafted so they argue for each other - Your campus endorsement: how to approach your fellowships office and what to give your recommenders - Interview preparation, including full panel simulations with the kind of adversarial questioning the Marshall and Rhodes panels actually use - Timeline management from first draft to submission I also coach law school and undergraduate admissions, so if your fellowship application sits alongside a JD, MPhil or graduate application, we can make the whole set consistent rather than treating them as separate projects. Background: Marshall Scholar, DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford (Magdalen College); Princeton University, School of Public and International Affairs; JD at Harvard Law School via the Junior Deferral Program; Admissions Consultant at Write Track Admissions since 2023.

Previously, I have been awarded the Gilman scholarship, Barry Goldwater scholarship, and the Gates Cambridge scholarship. Additionally, I have applied to NSF, Marshall, Churchill, and Knight-Hennessy.

I'm a 2020 Knight-Hennessy Scholar who has successfully coached through many application cycles and served as a current scholar during two Immersion Weekend events. I know my stuff, and I'm here to help you succeed!

I have completed three prestigious law fellowships, and am the recipient of several scholarships relating to law or international study. I am all too familiar with the financial burden law school and student abroad programs place on students, and I am well-equipped to help them find the best path to reaching their goals.

Applied to three top medical schools, got into all of them, and chose Stanford Medicine on a full financial package. Applied to one business school, Stanford GSB, and got in. I was also selected as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. I wrote every part of my applications independently, with no external reviewers or help. Over the last five years, I’ve helped dozens of people get into top med schools, MBA programs, and win prestigious scholarships. I’ve worked closely with Stanford Medicine admissions in the past. While I’m not currently involved, have no say in admissions outcomes, and cannot guarantee acceptance, I can offer helpful behind-the-scenes insight. My goal is to help you and your story shine. I specialize in crafting compelling applications, telling powerful stories, guiding your recommenders to write standout letters, and building a clear strategy that makes your profile stand out. I’ve also won multiple grants, scholarships, and fellowships, and can help you navigate that process too. If you’re applying to med school, business school, or a major scholarship, I’d love to help you succeed.

As a Truman, Schwarzman, and Knight-Hennessy Scholar, I've pulled the rabbit out of my hat again, again, and again. I'm well familiar with what it takes to set yourself apart in a hyper-competitive applicant pool, having interviewed for every prestigious scholarship I've applied for--including the Rhodes, Soros, and Marshall. Now, I love helping others get those interviews, and turn those interviews into offers. Here's the secret: many of these scholarships are oddly formulaic in their applications, and I'm well-versed in what that "formula" looks like. Together, we can unlock your application's full potential and put your very best foot forward.

I’ve been through the scholarship grind myself—and I get how overwhelming it can feel. I was fortunate to be awarded both the Fulbright Scholarship and the Gates Scholarship, two highly competitive programs that require more than just good grades—they demand a compelling story, a clear sense of purpose, and polished, authentic writing. As someone who’s not only navigated this process but helped others succeed as well, I bring real insight into what selection committees are looking for. Whether you're just brainstorming or refining a final draft, I can help you craft an application that’s not only impressive but genuinely you.

I grew up across five U.S. cities and spent years living on four continents, so “Where are you from?” rarely has a tidy answer. But why I move is simple: to help people become the best version of themselves. My mission is to make healthy food exciting, accessible, and affordable. That calling led me to build a hydroponic farm in my apartment, donate over 20,000 pounds of food to furloughed workers during COVID, and launch a kombucha company in China. But I believe the deep alignment between my mission and vision, throughout my application and professional journey, is what helped me become the first person ever admitted to both Stanford GSB and the Schwarzman Scholars program in the same application cycle. I know firsthand what Schwarzman is looking for: global-minded leaders with a vision and ambitions that transcend borders. But what is arguably more important than your goals is your ability to communicate them with clarity and authenticity. Ever heard a politician you found inauthentic? These Schwarzman reviewers have met more than a few, and siphon the aspiring versions of those people out of the application pool regularly. As your coach, I’ll help you crystallize your mission, draw out your most meaningful experiences, and frame your story in a way that resonates with admissions readers in Beijing and beyond. People I’ve coached have gone on to Stanford GSB, Schwarzman, Harvard, Wharton, and other top programs. I’d love to help you get there too.
