"Sam is a highly sought-after, expert college admissions consultant with over a decade of experience. For the 2022–23 application cycle, 100% of Sam’s students gained admission to their top-choice school. Over the past three years, his students have been admitted to colleges such as Columbia, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, WashU, UC-Berkeley, and many more elite colleges. His students are admitted to the Ivy League at a rate of 11x the national average (with 83% acceptance rate applying EA/ED) and have also received over $1M in scholarships (including a full merit scholarship to Duke University) since 2020.

Sam graduated from a T25 college and is a published research scientist, having spent four years in psychology and neuroscience research at Columbia University. He has conducted work in areas from business/organizational psychology to social and affective neuroscience and, beyond Columbia, has collaborated with researchers at institutions from Stanford to CalTech to Karolinska Institute (Sweden), one of the world’s foremost medical universities. Building upon his deep and nuanced insight into academia, research, and the admissions process at both the undergraduate and graduate levels—as well as his unique knack for both creative and data-based thought—Sam spearheaded a highly novel approach to elite college admissions. He employs cutting-edge strategy and insight into each college’s review process and distinct preferences, while also helping students to intricately craft the intellectual depth, niches, and admissions stories that will set them apart at even the most elite colleges.

Sam is also an owner of a boutique tutoring, test prep, and college advising company based in Westchester, NY that works with students across the country. He directs the company’s college advising branch and is a frequent guest admissions expert in the media, most recently interviewing for NYT Magazine and with the former Director of Admissions at the Wharton School/University of Pennsylvania." less...
