Essays. We go far beyond just correcting spelling/grammar. We help your child choose the most profound topics and help them find deeper meanings within their personal experiences. We help them connect the dots with their essays and the rest of their application. 

​

Activities lists. 150 characters is not much room to elaborate on an activity and its impact. We help your child hit the 5 points of impact: leadership, initiative, passion, commitment, uniqueness, all while staying within the word limit.

​

Building a college list. Although this is an easy first step, many applicants oversee the importance of building a perfect college list with schools that you actually want to attend. We help your child find their perfect-fit schools so that they spend the next 4 years in a place that sparks personal growth and happiness. 

​

Career/major planning. Many students don't know what major they will pursue in college-let alone their career afterwards. We offer a unique service and find your child's flow state task, or a task they can do everyday with genuine joy. This is not only a pillar in determining an ideal career path, but also allows the student to discover more about themselves and their true purpose. We use techniques from various books we have read to find this flow state task for your child, ultimately guiding them in the right direction for their future.

​

Application strategy. How come a student may get accepted into a top school, but someone else with the same GPA may get rejected? How come certain students get accepted to a school with a 20% acceptance rate but get rejected from a school with a 50% acceptance rate? All of this boils down to application strategy, and what colleges are truly looking for in their applicants. For example, Brown admires creativity, intellectual curiosity, and initiative in their applicants, so it's no wonder that they reject an applicant who demonstrates no creativity nor initiative in their activities lists and essays, despite having a perfect GPA and SAT score. 

​

Sample essays. We have collected over 50 REAL essays from high school graduates from the 2024-25 application cycle who got accepted into top schools. We analyze these to help use understand what each college is looking for in their essays.​​

​

Interview prep. Many top 20 schools offer interviews as a part of their application. We help your student prepare fully for these and conduct mock interviews to test their speaking proficiency, pacing, tone, and impact.​​​​​​
