WHAT FAMILIES SAY
Trusted by students and families.
“True Ivy League specialists–Ben provides incredible insight into the strategy it takes to get into top-tier schools. He showed us a perspective on applications that we didn't think about–meticulously defining our brand, focusing on our persuasiveness, and ultimately, helping us submit the perfect apps.”
P. LeungHarvardClass of ’29“Attention to detail and writing style!!! Ben hammered these things home for us, which were important as we reviewed every single one of our essays with him (38 in total). Unmatched services.”
A. AzizDartmouthClass of ’29“Alma helped me craft a personal statement that truly stood out. Their essay guidance was game-changing! The counselors provided insights that went far beyond what my school advisors offered. I was able to showcase my unique experiences and strengths in a way that captured attention and helped me get accepted to my dream school with a scholarship.”
A. BanksHarvardClass of ’24“My counselor helped me navigate the entire process. I got accepted to my dream school with a full scholarship!

Maya J.StanfordClass of ’23“The SAT prep course boosted my score by 300 points! Their strategic approach to applications was brilliant.
