I believe that I wouldn't have gotten into Harvard or Yale if it weren't for Sam. The unlimited meetings he offers and his constant dedication to students is unmatched by any other service in the business and is what I believe got me into my top schools.
His guidance made the college admissions process so much easier. From essays and extracurriculars to constant feedback and honest advice, he was there every step of the way. His support gave me the confidence I needed, and I truly believe it played a huge role in my acceptance to NYU Stern.
We went through 12 drafts of my personal statement and every single revision made it stronger. He never rushed the process.
The essay database was a game-changer. Seeing what actually worked at top schools gave me a huge advantage before I even started writing.
