What OUr families Are Saying..

Andrew P.

"Just wanted to give you some good news: I got into UPenn through ED! I can't thank you enough for all your support throughout the application process, even when I was running behind schedule. I honestly couldn't have made it without everyone at JV Admissions.”

UPenn Admit

Pia S. 

“We moved from Thailand 10 years ago, so the whole college thing was so confusing. Dr. Vo truly understood my daughter. He would message us frequently just to check on deadlines and making sure my daughter was staying on track. Thanks a lot again.”

Mom of Cornell Admit

Leon A. A

“Dr. Vo is really good at what he does. My ‘strategy’ was applying to Caltech with a 3.7 GPA and hoping my math Olympiad wins would carry me, which they didn’t. Dr. Vo forced me to confront my ‘why.’ We spent weeks refining my essay about failing a coding competition and learning from it. He was brutally honest and thoughtful through every step of the way. Best decision I’ve made so far. ”

CalTech Admit

Ty L.

“Dr. Vo helped me reframe my essay about translating for my mom at the garment factory—something I thought was too small. The most helpful thing was that Dr. Vo was very accommodating while I was still living in Malaysia. I never thought a community college kid like me could make it to UCLA.”

UCLA Admit

Lilia P.

"Thank you for all your amazing guidance! I honestly couldn't have done it without the whole JV Admissions team. The essay-writing process taught me so much. I never realized how detailed and nuanced it could be. I've gained skills that will stay with me forever. Thank you for giving me such valuable tools that I'll bring with me to Stanford this fall.”

Frequently Asked
Questions

  • We’re specialists who match your ambitions—not just another consultancy.

    While others talk about "dream schools," we focus on your definition of success: Ivy League, BS/MD programs, neurodivergent-friendly colleges, or top public universities. Here’s what sets us apart:

    ADMISSIONS INSIDERS ON YOUR TEAM

    Former Ivy League admissions officers who’ve reviewed thousands of applications guide your strategy. No platitudes—just honest, committee-tested advice. We know what committees actually look for—no guesswork, no sugarcoating.

    ADAPTABILITY TO TIME ZONES

    Need a midnight session in Dubai or a weekend strategy call in LA? We adapt to your schedule—not the other way around.

    THE POWER OF MULTIPLE EXPERTS—NOT JUST ONE

    Your student gets a dedicated team (Ivy mentors, essay specialists, MD advisors) who collaborate to stress-test every angle. Think of us as your personal admissions board.

    HONESTY & INTEGRITY, ALWAYS

    If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you upfront—and recommend alternatives. No pressure, just integrity.

    PROVEN OUTCOMES

    93% of students land in their top 3 choices—from Stanford BS/MD programs to neurodiversity-supportive colleges.

  • Yes, we proudly offer specialized college counseling for international students aiming to study in the United States. We understand that navigating the US college admissions process as an international applicant presents unique challenges and opportunities. Crucially, we recognize the complexities posed by time differences. That's why we pride ourselves on our adaptability approach, ensuring we can schedule consultations and provide support that aligns with your local timezone, regardless of where you are in the world.

    Our dedicated international student advisors provide comprehensive support, including:

    • University Selection: Helping you identify institutions that are a strong fit for your academic goals, interests, and budget.

    • Application Strategy & Assistance: Guidance on completing applications, writing compelling personal statements and essays tailored for US admissions committees, and highlighting your unique international background.

    • Standardized Test Tutoring/Guidance: Advising on necessary tests (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT) and preparation strategies.

    • Transcript Evaluation & Credentialing: Assisting with understanding how your home country's educational credentials translate.

    • Visa Application Advice: Providing advice and support for the F-1 student visa application process.

    • Scholarship and Financial Aid Research: Helping to identify potential scholarships for international students and financial aid opportunities (if applicable).

    • Cultural Transition Support: Offering insights and resources to help you prepare for student life in a new country.

    We have experience working with students from diverse countries and educational systems, and our goal is to demystify the application process, maximize your chances of admission to your desired colleges or universities, and ensure a smooth transition. Whether you're seeking undergraduate or graduate schools, we are here to help you achieve your international education aspirations.

  • Yes, absolutely. We are deeply committed to supporting students with learning differences and creating an environment where every learner can thrive. Our experienced team have specific extensive experience in working with a diverse range of learning profiles. This includes, but is not limited to, students with:

    • Dyslexia

    • Dyscalculia

    • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD)

    • Executive Functioning Challenges

    • Other neurodivergent learning styles

    If you're seeking specialized support, we encourage you to reach out to discuss your child's or your specific needs.

  • We are passionate about supporting a wide spectrum of learners across diverse educational stages and with varied academic aspirations. Our approach is tailored for students from 8th grade through to professionals seeking continuing education or career development.

    Our experienced team specializes in working with diverse learning profiles, including students who are neurodivergent or have dyslexia, ADHD, or executive functioning challenges.

    For students pursuing advanced academic goals, we provide expert BS/MD admissions consultants to guide them through these highly competitive programs. We also offer specialized international student college counseling to help students navigate US college applications.

    Our commitment is to create an inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environment.

    If this resonates with you or your child, we invite you to schedule a free consultation to discover how we can help.

  • Not at all! At JV Admissions, our core mission is to help each student discover and achieve their definition of success.

    While we’ve guided students to Ivy League and top-tier schools, we’re equally passionate about supporting students aiming for liberal arts colleges, state universities, BS/MD programs, or medical schools.

     

    Our expertise extends to students of all academic backgrounds, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, or executive functioning challenges.

    If you’re unsure what type of school aligns with your goals, we’ll help you explore options and clarify priorities—because your final choice should reflect your strengths, values, and vision. At JV Admissions, “fit” isn’t a buzzword; it’s how we help students thrive.
