For students who need a professional eye for their completed application, we perform a final reviewal and proofreading of your application.
Having attended multiple schools and working with students who have gone to countless schools in the US, Canada, and the UK, we can help students come up with a list of schools they want to apply to and also provide a risk assessment for each school. Further, we can guide students who wish to use the Early Decision and Early Action options in their application. We advise all aspects of transfer admissions and often work with students seeking admissions into business, law, medical, and other graduate-level programs. This is often one of the most exciting parts of the college application process and we look forward to helping you achieve your goals at your dream school!
A well-crafted Activity and Honors List (resume), which both names your activity and honors and explains each exercise, is essential when completing a college application. The Activity and Honors List have character limits, and many tricks can help students write them effectively in fewer words. This allows more information to be entered, giving the student a chance to demonstrate his or her achievements. We also help students choose extracurriculars that would best fit their interests and have access to various competitions and activities outside of their high school in which they could participate. This is one of the most enjoyable parts of the application, as it lets us get to know the student and see what makes him or her tick.
Interviews are often used for colleges and graduate schools as a critical factor while considering admissions. Even students with impressive academic and extracurricular backgrounds need a solid interview to show that they are articulate and have strong communication skills. We help students prepare for various aspects of the interview process by performing mock interviews and individually assessing and coaching students so that they can improve their performance.

Like so many other students, I had top SAT scores and grades, but I needed something extra to put me over the top. Shalin worked with me intensely on my essays and gave suggestions to make me a more unique candidate. Highly recommend.
Shalin could connect well with my son, who initially wasn't enthusiastic about completing his applications. He has a big heart and goes out of his way to do what's best for his students. I can't thank him enough.
As an international student from China, applying to American universities seemed incredibly difficult, and I needed to make myself more competitive. While struggling to prepare for exams and activities, Shalin helped me with his professional knowledge. He helps me organize all my thoughts of personal statements and brings up brilliant ideas to uncover aspects of my story that I never knew existed. Working with Shalin was the best decision I could have made. I am confident about the upcoming application season. –
Shalin was incredibly helpful with my college application process. As someone who struggles with writing, I knew it would be difficult to write interesting and thoughtful essays that would attract an admissions officer’s eye, but Shalin worked with me to brainstorm and create the best essay I could have asked for. He knew exactly what questions to ask me to bring out my creativity and expand my imagination.
As someone who had no idea what schools to apply to and how to even start the application process, working with Shalin helped me get into my dream school. He told me what schools would be a fit for me and was able to organize my application in a way that would help me stand out from other applicants. No matter what time it was he was always available to help me out. I truly believe that without him I would not have gotten into my top schools.
I needed my college essays completed and I didn’t have any motivation to do them nor did I have any knowledge of what I was doing. But after meeting Shalin and discussing what I can do, I was back on track. His way of teaching and making a connection with the student is amazing. He was always there when you needed help and helped me get everything finished on time. With editing essays, suggesting extracurriculars, he was there every step of the way. I would highly recommend Shalin if you need any sort of college assistance or motivation to do your essays.
Shalin helped me sort all of my extracurriculars and find which activities would impress colleges the most. I clearly defined myself to admissions, showing my distinct story that colleges would want to have on their campus through my extracurriculars and I have Shalin to thank for that. He gave insight into the essay-writing and editing process as well. Without his help, the application process would have felt much less manageable.
