When Viren and Audrey founded Vantage Academic Consulting, they had one goal: to pass on their knowledge to the next generation of student leaders. That’s because more than ever before, the world calls for ambitious, educated, young leaders. There is no better way to raise up these leaders than to receive a college education where students from every background can collaborate in rigorous and innovative environments.

College is the best tool to achieve greater opportunities. But with an ever-changing landscape ranging from standardized testing to public policy, navigating this academic journey on your own can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a structured plan to help you find your strengths in every aspect—wherever they lie—and maximize them to make a genuine yet impactful application.

Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Relatability: As college students who have recently undergone the chaotic college application landscape, we understand more than anyone else both stress and ambition to get into your dream school. While other admissions consultants advise the general aspects of your college application, we’ve figured out key trends of the most recent application cycles, such as increasing success in certain extracurriculars and what specific universities are looking for in an ideal applicant.

2. Extracurricular Consulting: Beyond college essay consulting, we offer extensive extracurricular consulting, with specific advice on starting a club, expanding organizations, and finding the right opportunities for you to explore. Whether it’s government internships, national debate championships, or your volunteer club at school, we can advise you at any level.

3. Covering All the Bases: We offer incredible support for AP subject exams and the SAT/ACT. With tutors who’ve received 5s, 1500+, and 34+ scores combined with extensive experience in teaching students the content, we are confident we can help you reach your dream test scores. Additionally, we offer general subject tutoring to help bump up your GPA and solidify your academic profile.

4. The Tipping Point Strategy: We’ve done extensive research and analysis to understand the meta-factors that sway favor toward your application. This includes the interview, keywords in your teacher's letter of recommendation, demonstrated interest, essay tone, and how you communicate your uniqueness as an applicant. Our unique connections with alumni and admissions insiders will allow you to gain an edge in America’s most competitive college application season.

5. Humanizing You: College applications can honestly feel like a rat race, which can be demotivating as you prepare your application. Here at Vantage though, we sincerely care about not just you as an applicant, but who you are as a person. That’s why we focus heavily on accentuating your true self; you shouldn’t have to force yourself to be someone you’re not. We embrace uniqueness in every student we work with and make your voice heard in every part of your application, whether it be in your personal statement or the 25-word short answer.
