Why hire US

Glad you asked.

Just as parents invest in expert tutors to master the content of SAT exam or AP exams, they hire JV Admissions to master the complexities of the admissions process.

Our Deep-Rooted Values & Approach

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.

Collaborative 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.

Empathy and Respect

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.

Intergrity 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.

Depth over 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.

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

Lila M.

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

CalTech Admit

Ty L.

“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.”

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."
