About Us

Hello! Our names are Henry Koloc and Lucas Gravina and we are both class of 2024 graduates from Fox Chapel High School. Over the last several months of applying to college, we worked together a LOT and developed effective strategies that we'd like to share with the next class of students. (Strategies that got us into Princeton early (Henry), and Stanford in the regular decision round (Lucas)). Mainly, we learned how to craft a compelling application narrative.

 

We encourage you to schedule a consultation call and we'll discuss how to best present your story! 

Our Services

Application Strategy

In our meetings we will discuss your application narrative, which is how you'll tie together your personal experiences, extracurriculars, and essays. The end goal is to not only have an academic theme chosen, but several personality traits to highlight throughout your essays. We'll work with you and YOUR story, helping to best show what makes you special.

Activities and Awards

The activities and awards section is complicated and limiting. With such small character allotment, it is important to find the balance between providing admissions officers enough information while still maintaining readability. We'll help you to pick the things Admissions Officers want to see and leave out what they don't. We'll also help organize your activities section with you so it can strengthen your theme.

Essays 

Coming up with and properly executing essay ideas is one of the hardest parts of this process. Its essential that your essays show that your'e human, and a person admission officers would want to vouch for. We'll help you brainstorm topics and produce an ivy-league level final draft. We offer both live and offline essay help (early in the essay process a live zoom meeting is usually more helpful).
