ABOUT US: I am a UC admissions expert who has been guiding students to the top UCs, such as UC Berkeley and UCLA, since 2006. I graduated from UC Berkeley, spent a year in a PhD program at UCLA, and completed a college counseling certificate program through UCSD Extension. My goal is to help students and their parents navigate the complex UC admissions process and to provide them with guidance in times of uncertainty.
OUR EDGE: Over the past six years, my clients were twice as likely to be admitted to a UC of their choice as the average applicant.
