data-driven strategies that have helped thousands of students.

  1. College Applications

    From start to finish, we help students build every aspect of their application to make them competitive applicants to any university.

  2. Personal Statement and Essay Writing

    Our students learn how to showcase their unique strengths through their college essays. They’ll clearly demonstrate the unmatched value they’ll bring to any college campus. 

  3. Extracurricular Leadership

    Admissions officers look for authentic commitment. We help students identify ways to gain leadership positions in activities and organizations that they feel connected to.

  4. Building a Hook

    To stand out from tens of thousands of other applicants, our students learn how to develop a coherent theme across their involvement that aligns with their interests and highlights their talent.

  5. College Lists and Selection

    Based on a detailed evaluation of goals and abilities, we work with students to create a personalized list of reach, match, and safety schools. Once they get their acceptances, we help weigh the different options and choose the perfect fit.

  6. Recommendation Letters

    Our advisors explain how to select the perfect recommender who can speak to a student’s strengths and character—whether it’s a teacher, mentor, manager, or coach.
