"Hi, you can call me Bry!

I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Information Science and a minor in East Asian Studies. In high school, I completed 15 AP classes, earned recognition as an AP Scholar with Distinction, graduated with a 5.09 weighted GPA, and scored a 34 on the ACT. But here’s what I’ve learned: admissions success is not only about numbers. It’s about narrative, strategy, and clarity.

I applied independently to 17+ colleges, researched each one deeply, and learned how to position myself authentically while still standing out. Since then, I’ve guided siblings, friends, and students into schools like MIT, Northwestern, and Cornell by helping them discover their unique stories and translate them into applications that resonate.

My philosophy is simple: every student has a story worth telling. I don’t just edit essays. I work with students to highlight their individuality, frame challenges as strengths, and build applications that show both authenticity and ambition. From brainstorming ideas to polishing final drafts, from organizing activity lists to mapping school strategies, I’m there to bring structure, confidence, and clarity.

Here’s how I support my students:

- Essay Writing & Editing: Personal statements, supplements, scholarships, and program applications.

- Admissions Strategy: School selection, timelines, and early vs. regular decision planning.

- Skill Building: Reading comprehension, analytical writing, and storytelling techniques.

As a recent graduate, I know how the college admissions process is evolving, especially in today’s rapidly changing landscape. From shifting test policies to an increased emphasis on holistic review, I bring fresh, relevant insight into how applications are actually evaluated right now.

My goal is to help students build applications that reflect their real strengths and give them a genuine shot at their dream schools, in whatever position they are in. Let's get you to your next school and home!" less...
