About the Founder

Hello there! My name is Ryan. For the past seven years, I’ve assisted countless students secure admission to some of the country’s leading universities (many of whom also acquired scholarships!). I have also been invited to lecture on this subject at high schools and universities across the globe, and have worked with students in places like China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, Cyprus, and many more! I have also presented at Education USA and the United States Embassies in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Tanzania, and have extensive experience with the ins and outs of UK and US admissions. I am excited to be a part of your application journey, and look forward to tailoring our sessions to match your unique needs.

As a Fulbright Scholar, a published author, and a graduate of Emory University, Yale University, and the University Cambridge, I have personally written countless application essays for university admissions and submitted dozens of applications for prestigious fellowships and scholarships.

I have a strong track record of writing and editing work and have a proven history of maximizing applicants’ chances of gaining admission to their top-choice schools.

As a highly sought after college admissions consultant and application editor, I have helped hundreds of students gain admission to top-tier universities like Yale, Columbia, MIT, Princeton, and Brown, and have served as an admissions reader for my alma maters (Yale, Emory). I look forward to working with you to make your application essays or assignments the best they can be.

I will help you plan, strategize, and revise your college admission application, fellowship, and scholarship essays, ensuring your application shines as bright as you are!
