Level the Playing Field

I believe everyone should have the opportunity to go to a good school whether or not they can afford extra help with their application. I was an immigrant kid myself whose parents couldn’t pay for college consulting. That's why I'm making a commitment to donate my time and services to those who can't afford them . From partnering with schools to lead pro bono presentations and workshops to working one-on-one with underserved students, I take initiative to reach out and help kids who who would never seek me out in the first place.

Why This Matters

Students from the bottom 50% of the income distribution make up only 14% of undergrads at America's most competitive universities. That's not too surprising, sadly, when you consider that the average case load for high school counselors in high-poverty schools is 500-to-1, which is double the 250 recommended by the American School Counselor Association.

How It Works

Affordable Essay Classes

I’m working with public school teachers across the nation to reach exceptional underprivileged students. To start, I'm currently partnering with local New York City public schools like the High School for Environmental Studies and the High School of Fashion Industries in addition to national non-profits like College Trak in Oakland. If you'd like to recommend a disadvantaged student for this free service, please get in touch. Spots are limited and I’m accepting a few students for the 2023 admissions season. I recommend reaching out during the spring or summer of the year you plan to apply.

Another affordable option for private college essay advising includes my wallet-friendly admissions essay classes, which are also meant to level the playing field by providing low-cost group workshops to develop a student’s personal essay from start to finish, including choosing your college essay topic and editing your first draft. Space is limited to ensure personalized workshops.
