We work with students of different backgrounds and age ranges, including both domestic and international clients. For younger students, we help them explore their passions, better themselves, and target optimal schools. We also arrange top-tier internships and research opportunities (i.e. “passion projects”). For students who are actively applying, we assist with essay writing, resumes, alumni networking, and interview preparation.
