Applying to schools like Berkeley, Stanford, and MIT requires more than strong grades and test scores — it requires a clear plan.

When your child works with me, they follow a structured, proven process designed to strengthen every part of their application. Here’s what that journey looks like from start to finish:

1. Admissions Profile Review
I begin by reviewing the full background of your child, including grades, test scores, activities, leadership, and writing. This helps determine whether they qualify for my admission guarantee and gives you a clear, honest picture of their chances at Berkeley, Stanford, or MIT.

2. Strengthening Key Areas
If your child qualifies, and you choose to move forward, we have regular meetings to improve the areas that matter most. Even top students usually have a few weak spots. I focus especially on activities and teacher recommendations, which are the two elements that can dramatically influence admission outcomes.

3. Essay Development Begins in July
The essay process starts early, during the summer before senior year. I work one-on-one with your child each week, guiding them through essays that are thoughtful, authentic, and strategically aligned with elite STEM programs.

4. Ongoing Support and Clarity
Throughout the process, I answer questions, provide direction, and ensure both parents and students know exactly what needs to happen at each stage. My goal is to remove confusion and keep everyone aligned during a stressful and important period of your child's education.

5. Finished Early, Every Time
When application season arrives, I guarantee that your child will complete all essays and supplemental materials by one day before the actual deadline, provided your child has followed my instructions throughout. If extra support is needed, I provide it. I want to ensure that your child crosses the finish line with confidence and time to spare.

This process gives strong STEM students the structure, strategy, and expert guidance they need to stand out at the most competitive schools in the country.

Qualified Student Guarantee

If you’re a second-semester junior with a 3.9+ GPA, a 1540+ SAT, leadership in at least two activities, and an outstanding achievement in STEM, and if you’re ready to put in focused effort, then I can craft an application strategy that will get you admitted to Berkeley, Stanford, or MIT — in the STEM major of your choice, or your money back.
