How I can help you - undergrad/MBA/STEM + non-STEM (MA/MS/PhD)/interviews
01
Honest Assessments
I provide honest and detailed feedback on a student’s entire profile including: transcripts, school list strategy, extracurriculars, etc. to give you a sense of how an elite admissions officer thinks about you.
02
Skill Building and Expert-Level Interview & Communication Training
Each client—who is coachable—BECOMES an elite/Ivy+ level student in academic habits, analytical abilities, communication skills (i.e. interviewing), and strategy via my 20+ years of national championship debate experience (including 3 national championships) You learn how to interview like a major scholarship winner.
03
Story, Profile & Essay Development
Students brainstorm and develop strategies for how to align their interests, essays, and overall profile toward Why Major, Why School and Diversity & Inclusion essays.
I edit at least 200 Ivy+ essays per year.
Every year after my students “win the admissions game”, they ask me why they get into Ivy+ schools that their classmates (with more activities, higher GPAs, etc.) do not.
Why? They learn how admissions officers - and the professors they recruit for - make decisions.

“Working with Anthony was a priceless experience. No need to mention he is a great admissions consultant, he is also a great friend whom you can share and discuss about your life trajectory.”
— INSEAD MBA
“
“I had one mock interview with Anthony. Before my interview with him, I had done a couple of mock interviews with friends and family so I thought I was already well-prepared. However, Anthony picked up on specific points that might have seemed obvious in hindsight, but they really helped me go from being good to great. Furthermore, the tone and style of the mock interview with Anthony were freakishly close to that of the actual interview, which shows how intimately he understands the specific interview process of each school.”
— London School of Economics (interview prep only)
“
“Anthony led me to become more comfortable in the college process through every session! Outside of walking me through the things that colleges want to see in their students today, he asked me personal, thought-provoking questions to bring deeper elements of myself to the surface. His process allowed me to develop my writing and lead with my best self in my supplemental essays and even in my college interviews. I am very proud of where I am headed next year and am thankful for my experience with Anthony.”
— University of Chicago
“
“Anthony helped me create a top notch resume, 20+ great essays for the schools and prepped me for interviews, by asking me questions and by helping me understand more about the schools I was applying to - their teaching styles, concentrations and specialties. Thanks to Anthony, I had the opportunity to choose from and was awarded scholarships by Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School for my MBA program. I will be attending University of North Carolina Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler program as part of the class of 2025.”

“Anthony is an excellent mentor with personalized, sharp, and insightful advice. In the one meeting I had with Anthony, he was able to quickly identify my strengths and weaknesses, evaluate the potential of my application profile, and find programs/give ideas that I previously had not thought of. His abundant experiences from his personal PhD journey and working with college admission enable him to accurately break down applicants' profile and give super helpful, tailored, and direct advice on application materials. Simply put, I probably wouldn't have been able to pull 3 PhD offers had it not been Anthony's help with my personal statement.:)”
— Diana Zhu, MIT Ph.D.

“Thank you so much for all of your help. It feels like I've gained so much insight from you into the college process and also my future. I knew after meeting with you the first time and crying for some reason that you are truly an amazing person. Talking with you turned my ideas into actual, wonderful essays and gave me the confidence I needed to go in and destroy that interview. Thank you for all the time you have devoted to coaching me and helping me edit and I hope you know that I will never forget all you have done! I hope that I can grow to be a great nurse and continue to be the person in those essays that you helped me create.”
— University of Pennsylvania (Early Decision)
