I was admitted to Harvard & Yale, scored in the 99.9th percentile on the SAT, was a National AP Scholar, National Merit Scholar, and was 1 of 100 United States Presidential Scholars, the highest public honor conferred upon graduating seniors.
SPOILER ALERT: None of that really matters, because the on-paper achievements that got me far won't do anything for you.
I'm among the best at what I do because:
I know precisely how to help others understand, articulate, and command their strengths and experiences as students.
I know how to inspire confidence and ask precise questions that provoke self-reflection and elicit authentic, self-driven learning.
I know how to infuse humor, levity, and compassion into an absurdly stressful and challenging process.
I know depth beats breadth and quality beats quantity, which is why I never work with more than 5 students at a time.
I know how to give exhaustive and actionable feedback and advice so you can consistently improve.
