1:1 Admissions · one hour, one plan

Get into your dream college.

The application game has rules nobody tells you — which parts are real, which parts are theater, and which parts of your story actually move a committee. I learned them the stupid way: two barely-passed years of high school, an SAT taken on a whim at seventeen, and an acceptance letter from Carnegie Mellon anyway.

What the hour is.

We find where you actually stand — not where your school's counselor politely says you stand. Then we build the plan: a school list with real logic behind it, the essay angle only you can write (the committee has read ten thousand "I love computer science" essays; they have not read yours), the test strategy, and the timeline working back from every deadline. International-to-US applications are the home turf.

The honest part.

If you're aiming at MIT/Stanford-tier admissions consulting with a six-school shortlist and a family budget for it, I'll tell you plainly in the first ten minutes whether you need a heavier specialist than me — and point you to one. The booking fee still buys you that honesty.

What you leave with.

A complete written action plan and several pages of notes from the call, delivered within a day — the next six months of your application, organized. Then you execute, and I'm one email away when something changes.

Book the hour — $300, only $25 upfront.

The $25 booking fee is the only mandatory upfront payment — non-refundable (it's what keeps the calendar honest) and credited toward the $300. The remainder is payable after the session, once you've seen what the hour was worth. Can’t afford $300? Say so — the rate genuinely subsidizes by need, and the booking fee is often most of what you pay. I'll email you within a day to schedule.

Within a day of the session: a complete action plan + pages of notes. Checkout runs on Polar — plain-language terms.
