Freshman In-State UC Application Service

“I will be joining UCB. Thank you for your guidance through every step of the application process. You were very patient and had many sessions to help me understand which activities from my high school experience would highlight a holistic story and bring out the best in the PIQs. Thanks again for your help!”
K. – May 2, 2024
“With your professional guidance, [the twins] got into all the UCs that they applied to … in Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering…. I will definitely be referring my friends’ kids and piano students who need help with the UC applications and Common App prompts.”
B. (parent) – April 24, 2024
“Ms. Sun – on behalf of my whole family, I want to thank you for your time working with my son for the past 2 years … he is accepted by UCR, UCI and Berkeley and waitlisted by UCSD and UCLA. Although academically gifted, my son is not the all-around well-adjusted type, and he was and still is struggling talking about himself and dealing with application essays. In addition, he is morally against marketing himself and thinks it is a form of dishonesty. There is no doubt in my mind that without your guidance and help, he would not have the admission results now…. I know other families have paid a lot more in various college admission consultancies, and I can honestly say that your fees are very reasonable and the best investment that we have made. I whole-heartedly recommend your service to anyone considering applying UCs. Thank you again Ms. Sun!”

Freshman UC Appeal Service

“My appeal after my freshman application was expectedly denied. I ended up going to community college for 2 years and recently got accepted into UC Berkeley EECS (which I will be attending) as well as all other UCs I applied to. Your feedback on why my freshman application was weak was very helpful for making my transfer application much stronger. While this is quite a while after our email exchange, I just wanted to voice that appreciation once more.”
M. – May 17, 2023
“She is thrilled to be attending UCSB in the fall. Thank you so much again for your application review and for the writing coaching. [She] couldn’t have written such a compelling appeal letter without both of you. I wish we had used your services before she applied.”
