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. ”

“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
Most consultants will tell you to do more: more activities, more AP classes, more leadership roles. We tell you to do less, but do it better. Our Spike Model is built around finding the one thing your student genuinely cares about and positioning everything else around it. That's what Ivy League admissions committees actually respond to. We know because we've been on those committees.
We also don't hide behind junior counselors. When you work with JV Admissions, you work with Dr. Vo directly, a former Ivy League admissions director and Stanford PhD who has personally reviewed thousands of applications from both sides of the desk. That combination is rare, and it shows in the outcomes.
Yes, and it's something we've built specific expertise around.
International applicants face a different set of challenges: navigating an unfamiliar system, translating credentials across educational contexts, timing applications across time zones, and making a case to admissions committees who may know little about their home country's academic environment.
We've worked with students from across Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and we know exactly where those applications tend to go wrong. We'll help you avoid those mistakes.
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.

Students from 8th grade through college, domestic and international, applying to Ivy League schools, BS/MD programs, liberal arts colleges, state universities, and graduate programs. We also work with students who aren't sure what they're aiming for yet. Figuring that out together is often the most important thing we do.
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.
