I got into Penn, Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth, Northwestern, USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Emory, and Rice while ranked in the top 40 percent of my high school class. That rank put me outside the range most people think these schools even look at. I watched classmates with higher GPAs get waitlisted at schools that accepted me. The difference was the story I built in my application. I study Computer Science, Math, and Entrepreneurship at Penn now. I work with high school students on that same narrative work, helping them find the thread in their activities that admissions officers remember after reading 40 files that day. If your student has the rigor but not the rank, book me!
Common questions
Before you book
What does this cost?
We are flexible, and there is a plan here that fits your family. You hear your number on the first call, before anything is agreed. What changes between plans is the kind of experience in the room: a current undergraduate at a school your student is applying to, someone who interviewed applicants for a university as an alumni volunteer, or a former admissions officer who read files and sat in committee. Every one of them is somebody we would put in front of our own family.
Do we need to know what we want before the call?
No, and most families book before they have decided anything. That is the useful time to talk. An hour, no charge, and you will come off the call knowing what we can do for your student.
How many students does one counselor take?
Few enough that the person you meet is the person who reads the drafts. Every counselor sets their own cap and prints it on their page, so you know exactly how much of their year you are getting. If your first choice is full we will introduce you to someone on the roster who suits your student just as well.
Our student is already a senior. Is it too late?
It is not too late. Several counselors here run compressed engagements and take seniors into the autumn, and there is usually more still open in a file than a family expects. Tell us where your student is on the call and we will tell you what we can do with it.

How the call is booked.
Joshua books the call, and it runs an hour on the phone.
Book a free call with JoshuaJoshua works from what you tell us about your student, so the call starts there rather than at the beginning.
If something changes
The agreement is held by The Scholar’s Bureau rather than by Joshua personally. If Joshua cannot finish the cycle we move your student to another counselor on this roster at the price you were already quoted, and everything written down so far moves with them.
