*A "reach" school is defined as any school where a student's GPA and/or standardized test scores fall below the 25th percentile of admitted students. For students whose academic stats fall comfortably above that threshold, a reach school is defined as any institution with a 15% or less acceptance rate, or a major-specific program ranked in the Top 20 by U.S. News & World Report. This statistic includes only students who completed a comprehensive advising program and had a GPA of 3.3 or higher.
What parents are saying.
A few words from parents about our admissions strategy and application execution programming.
"[Dominique] deftly adjusted her role with surgical precision to add crucial value to almost every aspect of this process. A great listener, she graciously made herself available in the off-hours and even managed the student-parent tricky dynamics quite well. A great person to have on your side during this important phase of your child's education."
Rajesh W., Parent
University of Wisconsin - Madison Class of 2029
"Application season in the Bay Area is incredibly competitive, and Dominique made all the difference for our family. With Dominique's support, Jessica successfully managed 20+ applications while taking four AP classes and maintaining straight A's. She was admitted to a prestigious program at UC Berkeley along with several other top schools offering significant scholarships and research opportunities. We truly could not have done this without her."

"[Dominique] brought a thoughtful and steady approach, offering especially valuable guidance on essay development — helping shape themes and refine drafts while preserving our daughter's authentic voice. Dominique was organized, responsive, and a true partner in the process, providing support and perspective at just the right moments."

What students are saying.
A few words from students about our admissions strategy and application execution programming.
"Dominique was the most supportive mentor I could have asked for throughout this entire process. Her feedback was both insightful and respectful, allowing me to stay in control of my work while still benefiting from her expertise. Because of her approach, I felt confident leading the process rather than being guided through it step by step."

"Working with Dominique throughout my college admissions process was invaluable. Her feedback on my essays was thoughtful and detail-oriented, helping me refine my personal narrative into something authentic and compelling. Beyond her expertise, Dominique is an exceptional communicator — organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in her students' success."

"It was great to know that there was always a support network ready to aid. The college application process has so many components so it is awesome to have someone like Dominique, who was patient, experienced, and responsive, to help, whether this was college list planning, resume building, or just going through the process overall."
Andrew Z.
UCLA Psychology/Pre-Medicine Track Class of 2028
"Dominique has a comprehensive view of the college application process, and provided me with the resources and feedback I needed to put my best foot forward as an applicant. Her essay reviews and feedback were meaningful, timely, and above all, effective."
Mick B.
Boston University Chemistry/Pre-Medicine Track
Class of 2028
"Although Dominique works with many students, each with unique profiles, she consistently gave me personal attention and found opportunities that aligned closely with my specific interests. Dominique is also incredibly encouraging, without ever being overbearing, which I found especially valuable in an already stressful process."
