School Application

College Application Guidance

I will be attending Stanford University this September. In addition to Stanford, I was also accepted by other renowned institutions including Ivy League schools, New York University (with Presidential Honours Scholarship), Yale-NUS College, NUS, and top UK schools such as UCL.


If you are freaking out about university applications, don't worry, I went through the exact same process as you did. I have done a lot a lot of research into how to get into top universities, and I applied what I have learnt to my own application with great success. Remember, it's all about how you package and present yourself to the admissions committee.

For $30, my college consulting services include:

  • Analyse your portfolio, from your grades, test scores, awards, CCAs, to intended major, essays and leadership. Based on what you have, I will then advice you on how to craft your application in a way that presents the most authentic yet most dazzling version of yourself to the admissions officers.

  • Help proofread and edit your essays.

  • Run through mock interviews with you. 

  • Share my successful Stanford application with you

  • Share other successful university application essays with you, from students accepted to top schools such as Cambridge University, Cornell University

​

This can be done face-to-face, or through Skype/Google Hangouts/Google Drive. 

​

If you purchase my college consulting services, you are entitled to a subsidied rate of $25/hr for my 1-on-1 SAT test tutoring service (original rate: $30/hr).
