Our Mission
We support the family journey to highly selective college admissions with a carefully curated approach that differentiates each student to develop their own unique “wow” factor. We do this by partnering with them to pursue a joyful approach to achieving exceptional accomplishments that showcase the student’s unique passions, talents and interests.
Our Background
Our team has worked at the most selective college admissions offices, at non-profit college access programs, and at large college consulting firms.
We’ve read and rated thousands of applications for highly selective universities (including for Stanford and the Ivy League), and we’ve assisted hundreds of students in getting into their dream schools.
We’ve raised children who attended highly competitive high schools and went on to the colleges of their choice, as we did ourselves, so we understand the importance of navigating these schools and prioritizing the student’s well-being and happiness.
Our Approach
We Create Unique Pathways to Stand Out
We guide you through the college prep experience so your student pursues synergistic academic, extra-curricular and intellectual enrichment opportunities that magnify their talents for exceptional profiles. We make smart choices, so your student can enjoy high school during this journey.
We Tailor an Execution Strategy to Your Context
We design your strategy based on your specific personal context, including your student's talents and interests, your family background and circumstances, and your particular high school and community. We know the pipelines into elite colleges and what they're looking for from your context.
We Deliver Results through Personalization
We're a boutique with a limited clientele, so we can spend the time to get to know your family and work closely together to support your student as a team -- you're not a contract in somebody's sale's cycle. This personalized approach is what enables us to deliver outstanding results.
Our clients achieve ~5x higher rates of admission
