About Us
About Us
Our journey began with Coach Tony, who served as an external admissions reader at the esteemed UC Berkeley. Over multiple years, Coach Tony delved deep into the intricacies of the college application process, reading thousands of applications from hopeful students. This experience offered him a unique window into the world of college admissions, revealing the distinguishing factors between a YES student and a NO student.
Recognizing the transformative power of this knowledge, Coach Tony felt a calling to share these insights, helping aspiring students craft their most compelling applications. Before long, the fruits of his labor became evident. Students under his guidance started to receive acceptance letters from top-tier universities like UCLA and UC Berkeley. But the story didn’t end there.
With each success, our ambition grew. We started branching out and exploring admissions criteria for other prestigious institutions such as Stanford, USC, NYU, and the Ivies. And to our delight, we discovered that the same strategies Coach Tony had honed at UC Berkeley were universally effective.
How We Got Here
As our reputation grew, so did our team. The company’s evolution brought with it partnerships with a myriad of college admission experts and specialists. Each new addition to our team meant that we could extend our reach and positively impact even more lives.
Â
Today, our legacy is built on a foundation of dedication, expertise, and a genuine desire to aid students in achieving their academic dreams. We are more than just a consultancy; we are a testament to the power of knowledge, mentorship, and unwavering commitment. Join us, and let’s embark on this journey to academic excellence together.
