My Service
Personal Touch
As opposed to larger consulting services, you know your consultant. I also have unique experience applying for STEM subjects within FUSD, and can help navigate the local terrain.
Cost & Commitment
Large consulting services will lock you in for a $20,000 deal for 4 years of service, while only really helping with essay editing in the final year. My cheaper single year service will leave you with the freedom to select any essay editing service while building your resume effectively!
Crafting a story
College admissions is all about your story. My service helps them become the unique applicant colleges desire.
General Advising
Through our bi-monthly meetings, I can walk students through any questions they have on clubs, APs, and extracurrciculars.
Going Above
I can help students accquire and find the experiences necessary to build a profile that catches top college's eyes.

My College Story
When starting my college application process, my family and I shopped around for multiple college consulting services, finding that each charged at least $5000 per year for meeting a mere 1 hour per month.
The choice we eventually went with turned out to be a mistake. The consultant they paired me with was a humanities student from New York who had little knowledge of STEM or the Bay Area. Meetings with this consultant were an expensive waste of time that hardly improved my resume. Several of my other friends have similar experiences with their services.
This left me to navigate the application process myself, in turn helping me research and dig into every aspect of applying to college as a STEM student. I aim to give students a proper college consulting experience that will allow them to truly thrive without exorbitant fees.
