“My essay mentor Alan was amazing. Prior to me actually choosing potential topics and writing them down, Alan had loads of meetings with me online, where we discussed all my extracurriculars, life experience and a never-ending stream of other topics before deciding what my essays should be."

Martin Walsh

Former Stanford University Admissions Officer

"Over the years I am not certain how many applications I reviewed, perhaps 5,000, perhaps more? Trust me: the reading cycle is exhausting and a bit of a blur. Happily, many of my questions about the mysteries of the admission process were answered. 

Since leaving Stanford I have shared my knowledge with students, teachers and counsellors at international schools in South Korea, Japan, China and Italy. And, I serve as an instructor each summer with the Counsellor Training Center. I enjoy taking some of the mystery out of the college admission process; while also providing tips, guidance and insight to parents, students and teachers."
