Selective. Strategic. Outcome Focused.
Admissions decisions are not random; they reflect institutional priorities. My role is to help students present their strongest and most authentic candidacy within that context. Clients’ strengths--whether high-achieving, gifted, unconventional, or twice-exceptional--require thoughtful positioning.
Full advisory engagements require a $5,400 retainer. Final service cost is assessed once the student’s academic and extracurricular profile, institutional selection strategy, and application deliverables have been developed and or thoroughly analyzed--scope clearly defined--in order to execute a cohesive, winning admissions strategy.
My work focuses on three core areas: institutional fit analysis, narrative positioning, and application architecture, with strategic guidance and proven results across undergraduate, graduate, and transfer admissions.
Together we craft compelling application submissions that clearly communicate each student’s strengths, experiences, and ambitions, qualities selective programs consistently reward.
By the end of the process, students present an intellectually grounded profile demonstrating a thoughtful academic trajectory and meaningful impact in a compelling voice aligned with institutional priorities.
To maintain the highest level of involvement, I work directly with every student throughout the process and intentionally limit the number of applicants I support each season.
Exceptional outcomes across Ivy League universities, Top-20 institutions, and leading liberal arts colleges are consistently achieved, with admits to:
Stanford • Harvard • MIT • Princeton • Yale • Columbia • Penn • Brown • Duke • Northwestern • UChicago • Berkeley • UCLA • Pomona
Additional selective admits include:
Amherst • BC • BU • CMU • Colorado College • Dartmouth • Emory • Georgia Tech • Northeastern • NYU • Pepperdine • Purdue • Reed • Rice • Tulane • UMiami • UMich • USC • UT-Austin • Villanova • WashU • Williams
My PhD in psychology informs a highly individualized approach to narrative development and student positioning and I also possess extensive experience advising and interviewing gifted, twice-exceptional (2e), ADHD, dyslexic, and spectrum students.
While many students begin working with me well in advance of application deadlines, I also take on a limited number of applicants facing compressed timelines when thoughtful strategy can still materially improve outcomes.
I similarly work with some clients who do not require comrehensive application oversight, but would benefit from essay assistance only. In engagements of this scope, a retainer is not required. Upon ascertaining the footprint of deliverables, I am able to address pricing, which varies case-by-case.

A Final Note: There is a meaningful distinction between price and value. I work with individuals and families who understand the importance of strategic guidance and are prepared for a substantive conversation about outcomes. If you are not yet ready for that conversation, I respectfully ask that you refrain from contacting me. Thank you.
