Our Objectives
With more than 20 years of college admissions experience, our team has narrowed our focus to four main goals.
Selective University Admissions
We strategically align students’ personal, academic, and extracurricular pursuits with the current-day college admissions process, specific for each school they’re applying to. Our team consists of admissions officers and students from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, and more. We ensure that, as our students progress, they pursue all the right steps to gain acceptances to their dream schools.
Extracurricular Focus and Enrichment
We help develop opportunities for students to creatively demonstrate extracurricular enrichment as they explore their passions, adding impressive achievements to their resume and story. From STEM to humanity, biomedical research to political activism, entrepreneurship to competitive mathematics, we help our students craft an incredibly strong profile centered around their extracurriculars.
Intellectual Curiosity and Academic Performance
We strive for our students to demonstrate intellectual curiosity and strong academic achievement. Even as time, extracurricular, and academic pressures mount, we want to help our students develop the right skill set so that they can navigate the best opportunities for their college admissions success. We advise course selections, summer programs, GAP strategy, research programs and other pursuits that enables them to balance their rigorous course load with other compelling opportunities.
Leadership and Personal Growth
Our ultimate goals is for our students to thrive in high school, college, and beyond. While we are known for our extraordinary admissions results, we also emphasize personal growth, integrity, resilience, and a pursuit of excellence throughout the admissions process and their college years. We help our students fine-tune their own self-understanding and personal drive, and preparing them to make major contributions at their dream college.
