FAQ
Who are these sessions for—students or parents?
Both! I regularly work with high school students (grades 9–12) as well as parents who want to understand the admissions process and support their child. You’re welcome to attend the session together or separately.
What kinds of materials can I submit for review in the Standard or Premium package?
You can send a short essay (under 500 words), résumé, school list, or a draft of your activities section. Please send files at least 24 hours before our session to ensure a productive review.
What if I don’t know where to start?
That’s exactly what I’m here for. If you’re just beginning your college prep journey, we’ll focus on next steps, key priorities for your grade level, and how to avoid common mistakes.
I’m applying to UC schools. Can you help with that?
Absolutely. I have extensive experience with UC, Common App, Coalition, and international applications. I’ll tailor advice to your specific application type and goals.
Do you work with international students applying to U.S. universities?
Yes. I have over two decades of experience supporting international applicants. I can advise on everything from choosing U.S. schools and navigating the Common App to demonstrating English proficiency, writing essays, and preparing for visa-related planning.
I'm a transfer applicant. Can this still help me?
Absolutely. Whether you're transferring from a community college or another university, I can help you refine your school list, improve your personal statements, and ensure your academic and extracurricular profile aligns with your target institutions.
Can you advise me on SAT/ACT strategy or test-optional decisions?
Yes. I’ll help you evaluate whether submitting test scores will benefit your application, based on your current profile and the schools you're applying to. I can also offer guidance on when and how to prepare, especially if you're early in the process.
Can you help with graduate school applications?
Yes. I support applicants applying to Master’s and PhD programs in a wide range of fields, including STEM, humanities, social sciences, education, international relations, and more.
Do you offer detailed essay editing and proofreading?
Yes—I have a separate gig dedicated specifically to essay editing, proofreading, and polishing. It focuses on clarity, coherence, grammar, tone, and structure. If you’d like detailed markup and revisions, feel free to check out my essay editing gig.
