§ 01 — About

Consulting from someone who just did it.

I studied at TJHSST (#1 high school in the country) and am now studying Physics at Princeton. I was also admitted to Caltech, Penn M&T, Duke, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, and Georgetown.

Over the past 4 years, I spent countless hours trying to figure out the college admissions process on my own. I read forums, watched videos, listened to advice from every direction, and constantly tried to separate what actually worked from what just sounded good. And it was extremely difficult to find clear, honest guidance in a process filled with conflicting information and vague advice.

I want ambitious students to have access to the kind of guidance I wish I had earlier. My goal is simple: help ambitious students get into their dream schools by focusing on what actually matters.

§ 03 — FAQ

Questions, answered.

What makes your approach different?+

Most admissions advising focuses on polishing what students already have. I focus on helping students actually build exceptional profiles: impactful projects, research, competitions, startups, leadership, and a compelling narrative that stands out in highly selective admissions.

Why work with someone so young?+

Because most admissions consulting still relies on outdated advice (especially pertaining to specific activities and awards), while I went through the process myself very recently in today's admissions landscape.

In fact, the most valuable feedback I received on my own applications came from a student who had graduated high school just one year earlier and been accepted to Stanford. His advice was far more relevant and actionable than most traditional counseling I encountered.

When should we start working together?+

Earlier is generally better, and I work with students as early as the summer before 9th grade. That said, even rising seniors can see major improvements to their application with the right strategy and positioning (and they can also get help with essays!).

What if I don't know what track I want?+

I'll discuss both options during the initial 10-minute call, so you can get a better idea of which one you want (or both!).

How are sessions conducted?+

Sessions are typically held virtually over Zoom or Google Meet, with collaborative document review, strategy discussions, and asynchronous support depending on the track.

Should parents join the intro call?+

They're welcome to, but not required. Many families prefer joining the first conversation so everyone understands the process.
