Why Us?

“Students without access to accurate information are at a distinct disadvantage against students that understand the process and enter with a strategy.  Our team’s experience in Ivy League Admissions provided for the rare opportunity for an inside look into the admissions strategies employed by most of the most selective colleges in the country. The truth is, most college consultants offer little more than the ability to edit an essay. We are not your typical consultants. We aren’t guessing. We’ve been there. Our perspectives are based on reviewing tens of thousands of applications for admissions. They are based on writing the interview questions and managing selection committees. They are based on unmatched professional experience and insight.”
