Traditional admissions consulting is broken—extremely expensive, impersonal, and out of touch with what truly makes an applicant stand out. Too often, students are told they don’t fit the “perfect profile” and are discouraged from even applying to their dream schools.
When Stefani met with an elite admissions consulting firm, they told her she had no chance at Harvard. Her background didn’t fit their cookie-cutter formula, and they advised her to not apply.
But instead of giving up, she sought advice from actual Harvard students—people who had been in her shoes, understood the real admissions process, and knew how to craft an application that told her unique story.
With their guidance, she applied—and she got in!
