"Hi, I’m Ronnie, an admissions strategist, writing mentor, and co-founder of Admissions Intelligence. For 15 years I’ve helped students turn strong stats into unforgettable stories, guiding applicants toward T20 selective colleges. I worked in admissions for a top-tier liberal-arts school, where I learned exactly what makes an essay leap off the page.

My coaching style is equal parts story excavation and precise editing. We start by mapping the experiences that have shaped you, often the moments you overlook. From there, we build a clear through-line that threads your impact, values, and voice across the Common App personal statement, UC PIQs, or supplemental essays. Feedback comes in real time via Google Docs or Zoom markup, so every revision teaches you not just what to change but why it works.

Beyond essays, I advise on application strategy, activity lists, and interview prep, and I offer targeted ACT/SAT Reading & Writing sessions for students who want a unified verbal-skills plan. Whether you’re a first-gen applicant looking for guidance or a high-achiever aiming to stand out in a crowded pool, my goal is the same: help you tell a story admissions officers can’t forget, while keeping the process human, honest, and (believe it or not) fun.

If that sounds like the support you need, book an introductory hour and let’s get your story working as hard as your GPA." less...
