Villa Academic Consulting

I’m an incoming Stanford engineering student, and I help high school students make the college application process feel less confusing and overwhelming. I recently went through the process myself and was admitted to Stanford, Harvard, Yale with a STEM Likely Letter, Columbia, Harvey Mudd, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Occidental, UC Berkeley, USC Early Action, and Purdue Early Action. I know how stressful applications can feel, especially when you’re trying to balance essays, deadlines, school, family, and everything else. I’ve also spent a lot of time helping classmates and other students one-on-one with college lists, fly-in applications, personal statements, supplementals, scholarships, and figuring out how to tell their story clearly. Along the way, I learned from programs like QuestBridge, Thrive Scholars, Matriculate, and College Match Los Angeles, which shaped how I approach college guidance. Working with me is not about forcing your application to sound “perfect.” It’s about helping you figure out what makes your story strong, what schools actually fit you, and how to put together an application you feel proud of. I’ll be honest, supportive, and organized throughout the process so you don’t have to figure everything out alone
