Here are answers to common questions about my process and services.
No. Admissions decisions depend on factors outside anyone’s control. What I can guarantee is a thoughtful, structured process that helps your student present their strongest, clearest, and most authentic application.
Students I’ve worked with have been admitted to institutions such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, UC Berkeley, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Carnegie Mellon, and other highly selective universities. My role is to help each student apply thoughtfully and strategically to the colleges that align with their strengths and goals.
No. I guide, ask questions, challenge thinking, and refine, but the ideas and voice always belong to the student.

Generally no. My process is intentional and structured rather than fast-turnaround. If timing is uncertain, you’re welcome to schedule a consultation to discuss fit.
I work with up to five full-cycle students and a small number of essay-focused students each admissions cycle. This low-volume model ensures individualized attention and high-quality support.
We discuss my approach, clarify admissions misconceptions, understand your student’s needs, talk through pacing and expectations, and determine whether the partnership is a good fit.
I take a narrative-centered, structured approach that helps students articulate their ideas with clarity and confidence. You can read my full philosophy on the My Approach page.
