Hi, I'm Joe, a consultant and former Carnegie Mellon Admission Officer with 13 years of education experience. I've engaged with thousands of competitive applicants through interviews, school visits, reading applications, and consulting. Over the years, I've worked with admits to MIT, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, UC Berkeley, Rice University, Carnegie Mellon University, Washington University in St. Louis, and more.
In recent years, I've been committed to understanding what college admission advice gets wrong. studied. My research into what actually makes students stand out includes Human Psychology, Behavioral Science, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and other disciplines. My insights are aimed at what matters, not regurgitated noise.
No more second-guessing what matters.
Take control of your family's college admission journey for good.
Attendee benefits...
Solve Anxiety at the Source.
Most people try to manage admissions anxiety by doing more. But anxiety is a symptom of playing someone else’s game. I help you play a game only you can win.
Immediate Value -- Small Investment.
The workshop is only $349 and is packed with life-changing insights. Attendees share their concerns beforehand, and it concludes with a Q+A segment, ensuring the workshop is tailored to your needs.
Gain a Real Edge.
Everyone else is focused on surface-level admission tips and tricks. You'll get ahead by learning to make changes at the deepest level: your identity. Competitiveness is a result, not a goal.
Instruction Based on Interdisciplinary Research.
I'm sharing insights that I've accumulated over more than a decade of experience and two years of focused research. Rather than regurgitating admissions advice, I'm coaching students to success.
Insights from a Former Admission Professional.
I spent my time in CMU's admission office reading applications to one of the most selective Computer Science programs in the world. I know a thing or two about competitive applicants.
Peer Support.
A supportive environment is one of the most underrated aspects of student success. Small-group workshops reveal that you're not alone and create opportunities to experience a community.
No Risk Payments for Peace of Mind.
I'm confident in the value I can provide, which is why I'll refund anyone who feels the workshop wasn't helpful. No questions asked.
