Our Student Testimonials

Featured students who were admitted to their target best fit schools with our college admissions counseling

"Feiyang emphasized choosing a college that supported my long-term vision and growth, both professionally, academically, and culturally. Feiyang's mentorship was a significant factor in helping me gain admission to my dream school - UC Berkeley."

Nick Zhang

UC Berkeley

"This [college application] process has been way less stressful than if I were to do it alone. Because of Feiyang's moral support and his guidance to achieve goals that are authentic to my long-term vision, I actually started a newsletter and YouTube channel because I learned so much about writing, expressing myself, and being true to myself throughout the entire college admissions process."

Elena Yang

Babson College

"[Feiyang] improved my entire application more than I thought was possible. He gave me a really clear schedule that was easy to follow and kept me focused on what I needed to do and cut out all of the extraneous stuff. Writing essays, giving them to him, and receiving feedback made my application so much more coherent than I thought possible. "

A. Zhang

Amherst College

"With Feiyang's guidance, I delved deeper into my aspirations, understanding why I was drawn to certain schools, which translated into more personal and impactful essays. Feiyang's mentorship was instrumental in teaching me how to tailor my applications effectively to the schools I applied to. I presented a true, authentic version of myself to admissions committees, which made my application stand out... leading to my acceptance into UCSD and USC."
