Dreaming of getting into a top college? Let's make it a reality.

Drawing from the experience of reading 5,000+ apps at two top 20 universities, one public school and one Ivy League, I strive to use what I've learned to help you craft a stand-out application.

Hello! I'm Jay, a former Ivy League admissions officer. I'm also a moderator of the 1.2 million member subreddit, r/ApplyingToCollege.

I'm here to guide you through every part of the college application process while allowing you to get to know yourself better.

What are others saying?

Harvard

Cody, Harvard

I got into every single Ivy League. Thank you so much for your help!!! I still can't believe it. It's going to be a tough choice now

Yale

Lydia, Yale

Jay pushed me to think more critically about my environment and goals than I would've on my own. I really do love what I produced.

Stanford

John, Stanford

I’ve seen the quality of advice that many expensive college counselors tend to distribute; [...] there is nobody better suited to be a college admissions counselor than Jay.
