Jason has helped clients get into these schools:
Seasoned college counselor with 10 years of experience mentoring dedicated students to gain entry into elite undergraduate programs that truly match their personalities, values, and goals. In the last five years, my students have gained admission to Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, U Penn, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Brown, Rice, Duke, Vanderbilt, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Washington University in St. Louis, Amherst, Bowdoin, Wellesley, Pomona, Middlebury, UVA, UNC, UT Austin, U Michigan, U Washington, NYU, USC, and many other highly selective colleges. I'm proud to have cultivated the industry acumen and 1-1 mentorship skills to guide students with diverse interests and personalities to pursue successful application strategies for top-choice colleges, particularly in the early admissions rounds. For the Class of 2023 alone, my students had a 100% acceptance rate in the early admission round and will be attending Stanford, U Chicago, Brown, Vanderbilt, and Washington University in St. Louis (among others). I've worked hard to refine my coaching methods to achieve such success. Having studied screenwriting at Middlebury College, I relish helping students craft compelling application stories that communicate their identities, showcase their passions, and crystalize their visions. My comprehensive guidance through extracurricular and personal development enables my students to stay authentic and confident — and it achieves results. I'm proud to have worked effectively with students with a diverse range of intellectual, social, and personal interests. I seek to help each student elevate their genuine passions on their own terms, developing not only their intrinsic motivation, but their productivity and vision for the future. I have been blessed to guide and learn from more than a hundred top students interested in STEM and engineering, business or economics, or humanities, arts, and social sciences. I am confident that I can help any teenager explore their future pathways while capitalizing on their present opportunities to craft the most compelling application package possible.
