Irina Chen - College Admissions Coach

"My daughter worked with Irina and got into her dream school! Irina gave great feedback and was very helpful with every step of the process. Not only was she helpful with the essay writing process, she also knew a lot about the admissions side as well. Would highly recommend!"

"We had a great with Irina, since the beginning she gave us a detailed plan with milestones and a timeline that covered everything that was needed to apply to the colleges that matched my son’s interests. It was a good work dynamic between my son and her, she helped him to prepare essays and other documents that were required, she guided him through the process and she made sure all of my son’s efforts, skills and talent were reflected in the applications, to maximize the chances to be accepted. At the end he made it to his first choice university and he was also accepted to the other two alternatives. I really recommend Irina as a dedicated and experienced person, that will guide senior students through the college selection and application process."

"Irina was super helpful when I was applying to colleges. She’s very knowledgeable about the application process and was able to provide many insightful tips on writing my personal/supplemental essays. Her advice greatly improved how I highlighted my strengths and aspirations through my writing and resume. She was easy to reach whenever I had questions and they were always thoroughly answered. Irina also helped me prepare for college interviews, providing tips and tricks that significantly boosted my confidence. The overall application process was much less confusing and stressful with her guidance. I’d definitely recommend Irina to students applying to college!"

"Irina is patient, organized, and helpful. I am a first-generation immigrant, so I have no experience with college applications in the US. I was glad we found Irina to help my son with this process. She met with my son to know who he is and helped him think through and narrow down the list of colleges for application. Her suggestion for the summer program was also helpful. Irina kept detailed notes of the meetings that helped my son track what he needed to do and allowed me to see the progress easily. She answered our questions and made the entire process less confusing. I strongly recommend Irina."

"" We are so appreciative of Irina’s help! She relieved a lot of stress for the whole family. She clearly knows her stuff, provides a structured plan and gives great tips and guidance. Her rapport with our son was excellent. She was very honest and positive. Irina was always available when my son had a question and she always responded in a timely manner. Even if our son had not been accepted by his dream school, our review would have been the same. We appreciate and highly recommend Irina!""
