Working with Daniel throughout my college application process has been one of the most helpful and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.
Our mentorship started during the fall of my junior year in high school, where we worked together to apply to summer programs that I would be interested in. From the onset, his resilience and skill as a consultant showed. He would revise my essays for many competitive programs: MITES from MIT, SAMS from Carnegie Mellon, and YYGS from Yale. And I’m grateful to say that I was able to attend YYGS with Daniel’s help.
So by the time college applications opened, I trusted Daniel to guide me through the admittedly-complicated process and to critique my essays. Not only did he provide auspicious feedback and give me examples of his own personal statements when I was writing my own, he also tried connecting me with friends attending colleges where I was interested in applying. He worked with me for months on end, editing my essays and making sure that I succinctly phrased my thoughts. And like most people, I was at a complete loss at some points. When that happened, Daniel asked me thought provoking questions to get my ideas on paper again. He was incredibly patient and always responded to my messages promptly. Thanks to him I'm now an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University studying chemistry and english.

With Daniel at my side, the college application process went from a daunting task looming closer and closer to a manageable and surprisingly gratifying experience. Previously I had worked with Cosmic Consulting for tutoring in various subjects, so when I reached out for assistance in the college process, they were ready to help even during the last semester of junior year, as I just started thinking about my future. Daniel was able to help me with anything and everything, starting with narrowing down my list, applying for summer programs(eventually settling on the prestigious MOSTEC program run by MIT), writing essays, editing essays, editing them again, editing them for the who knows how many times, and when my essays were finally ready, his help continued with crafting a portfolio, preparing for interviews, and applying for scholarships. But arguably more important than his vast array of expertise in the process is his patience in guiding me through the various stages of the college process.
Despite my confusion and indecisiveness, Daniel was able to easily identify precisely what I wanted to say and always had suggestions to point me in a direction that best suited me. Thanks to him, I’m now going to be attending the school of Engineering at Columbia University studying electrical engineering and computer science.

Changes made through consulting:
Student began consulting soon after recovering from a severe long term traumatic experience which hampered academic performance. Over the remainder of their high school career, they received academic tutoring to raise their GPA to an A. They also were encouraged to pursue extracurricular activities, and after much refining and drafting, they wrote a strong essay that incorporated their experience and used it as a strength, to better frame what they were able to accomplish in spite of it.
Student was advised to look into more nontraditional colleges, as those institutions seemed to be a better fit. Northeastern University was identified as a potential option, and the student resonated strongly with the college. They applied early action, were accepted, and committed as a STEM major (an interest they had maintained throughout high school, but had limited opportunity to pursue).
