We will be glad to help your 12th grader (or rising 12th grader) through every step of the college admissions process.
We are honored to have helped hundreds of student clients in the United States and from around the world win admission to top colleges and universities in the U.S. For the Class of 2024, several clients reported getting interview
calls from the very best schools, including MIT, Caltech, Yale, Columbia, CMU, Princeton, Penn, Brown,
Cornell, CMU, and Johns Hopkins. Several students got confirmed admissions
to Columbia, Cornell, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Rice, NYU, Vanderbilt, Wash U and CMU. A few got admissions to direct MD programs.
Many clients reported getting into some of the best public Ivys. UT Austin, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, UCLA, the University of Michigan, Purdue, the University of Virginia, and the College of William and Mary repeatedly made the list. Clients also got into Texas A&M, Arizona State, the University of Washington, the University of Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech.

We place
all of our expertise online. There's a good chance that our answers to many of your questions are already available for free. We also conduct numerous low-cost webinars to educate
parents and children about all things college. We publish event details on our Facebook page so, please follow us on Facebook.
We recognize that the college admissions process is complex and parents need professional advice tailored to the needs of their 12th grader. Here are the various value chain elements of our service including the various proprietary tools and decks.
- College selection and finalization, including evaluation of ED/EA strategies. [Included: Long-form resume template, BS/MD deck for interested students].
- Advice for H-1B families with children on H-4 visas.
- Describing the step-by-step task plan to successfully complete a college application. [Included: College selection master tool, Campus visit questionnaire]. Our tool prompts clients to plan regular checkpoint/status calls to review progress.
- Essay reviews for platforms such as the Common App, the Coalition App, ApplyTex, MIT Admissions, and UC Apply. We follow the same process as the top schools with two professionals reviewing your essays independently.
- Supplemental essay reviews.
- Financial Aid and scholarship planning. [Included: Our comprehensive guide to college financial planning].
- Assistance in successfully completing college applications, such as for ApplyTex and the Common App. We provide detailed pointers about how to obtain and send transcripts, recommendation letters, and SAT/ACT scores.
- Assistance in petitioning high school or college administrations to handle extraordinary situations, such as requesting in-state classification for tuition, credit transfer, visa issues, or other exceptions.
- Mock interview practice. [Included: Interview questions after the practice session].
- Deciding on which offer of admission is the best, using our structured, analytical approach.
- Any additional support.
Bonus: At the end of every one-on-one counseling session, we will provide you
with a summary of discussion points and a clear set of action items for
future conversations. Such a summary may include links to our
proprietary tools, templates or posts. This is a free service.
When it comes to pricing, we do not want to constrain parents with burdensome fixed-price all-in-one contracts because not all students need help in all the above areas. Some may need assistance only for essays, or others a combination of elements in the value-chain list.
Our fees structure follows a hybrid model - significant free advice via our popular posts on this website, Facebook page, and public seminars; a variable pay-by-the-hour counseling component, and a fixed-price offering for essay and resume reviews.
All of our counseling session pricing is by the hour. Please review our fees section. In our simple pay-by-the-drink model, you're always in control of what specific area of college admissions you want help with, how much engagement you wish to have, and how much you wish to spend.
All of our essay reviews can now be ordered from a simple menu-driven product list resembling an online
store. You prepay for our service using a
fixed-price model and get full buyer protection from PayPal.
Please check out client reviews on Google.
