“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, even when we met on Zoom at 6 a.m. his time. Best decision I’ve made so far. ”

“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.”

I'm so grateful for your heartfelt congratulations on my acceptances - still trying to wrap my head around it. Working with Dr. Vo was such a memorable experience - his thoughtful guidance and patience really helped to bring out my authentic voice. Thank you again for everything and especially for all your invaluable support throughout my journey!

"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.”

“JV Admissions 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. Jacob accommodated our time difference while I was still living in Malaysia. I never thought a community college kid like me could make it to UCLA.”

“Dr. Jacob helped to identify my strengths and matched them to Princeton’s focus on impact-driven leaders. Weekly sessions dissected essay drafts, interview prep, and even financial aid strategies were tremendously helpful. Dr. Vo’s patience and willingness to explain U.S. admissions quirks made the chaos manageable.”

“They’d message me consistently to keep my momentum. I’d send them messy drafts, and received very thorough feedback from Dr. Vo. I really appreciate that he took the time to meet with me virtually to go over key aspects of my essay.”

"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."

"I wanted to express my gratitude for how well you supported [my daughter] and guided her with the SAT preparation. Her scores significantly increase and I’m glad she made the most of her time with her tutor."

“"All I can say is that I'm extremely grateful for this experience. I cannot say it enough—thank you for editing all my essays, conducting mock interviews, and providing constant support. I appreciate it more than words can express. I'm so thankful I could work with Dr. Vo. My writing skills have improved tremendously all thanks to Dr. Vo’s detailed guidance.”
