Our Deep
Seeded Values
Authenticity Above All
We believe the most compelling applications are rooted in who you are, not who you think admissions committees want you to be. Our role isn’t to mold you into a “perfect” candidate but to help you articulate your unique voice, values, and vision with clarity and confidence.
Colaborative Care
Many minds, one mission: your success. No single perspective holds all the answers. By pooling insights from our diverse team—Ivy League mentors, essay specialists, and former admissions insiders—we ensure your strategy is challenged, refined, and elevated by a chorus of expertise.
Sincere empathy
We balance empathy with accountability. While we’ll always ease your stress, we’ll never shy away from tough conversations if they strengthen your application. Think of us as your advocates and your editors: warm-hearted, but relentlessly focused on excellence.
Quality Over Quantity: Depth > Breath
We reject the “factory farm” approach to consulting. Instead of racing against the clock, we invest time to uncover the nuances of your story—because admissions committees don’t reward rushed work; they reward intentionality.
Integrity and honesty
Transparency is non-negotiable.
No vague promises, no hidden fees, no recycled templates. We’re candid about your odds, clear about our process, and committed to doing what’s right—even when it’s harder.
Joy in the Journey
Applying to college shouldn’t feel like a grind.
We infuse the process with curiosity, creativity, and even a little humor. Why? Because students who feel inspired—not drained—create applications that resonate.
Why Us
Glad you asked.
Just as parents invest in expert tutors to master the content of SAT exam or AP essays, they hire college admissions counselors to master the context of the admissions process.

Yes, our hourly college counseling is an excellent option for students seeking strategic guidance on course selection to align with their college aspirations. We can help you understand how different academic paths impact your college applications, ensuring you choose courses that challenge you appropriately and strengthen your academic profile for competitive admissions.
Our hourly college counseling services have a 2-hour minimum required to begin. This allows us to dedicate sufficient time to understand your specific needs and provide meaningful initial guidance.
However, please note that some of our more in-depth hourly options, such as comprehensive essay review, thorough interview preparation, or extensive application section optimization, may require a higher minimum number of hours due to the logistical demands and the detailed work involved in those specific services.
