Hi! I'm Anna Ren and I'm going to be your coach through this whole process of applying for college. I have over eight years of experience in college admissions consulting, in addition to completing a Certificate in Independent Educational Consulting at UC Irvine Extension and being a member of NJACAC and IECA.


Many moons ago, I was just like you, a teen in high school who didn't know anything about applying to college. My parents had only made it to elementary school and middle school and I was the first person applying to college - the guinea pig for my younger brother.


Since then, I graduated from Georgetown University, worked in marketing and fashion, left marketing and fashion, volunteered as an alumni interviewer and currently work as a college admissions consultant that helps teens and their families prepare for, apply for, and get into colleges that are a perfect fit for them. I look forward to helping you achieve your ultimate potential!


Without your help, there is no way I would've gotten into UPenn. Thanks to you I not only get my college essays done way prior to the deadline, but also able to develop life skills such as writing concisely and not talking like a valley girl that will undoubtedly help me succeed in the future. ~ K.H. University of Pennsylvania

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help, I truly could not have been this successful without you. I appreciate all the extra time you took to make sure my essays were nothing less than great, and I especially appreciate your honesty. Thanks again. ~ A.S. Case Western Reserve University

Thank you so much for everything you did to help me. I think that you helped my applications really stand out everywhere I applied. ~ A.D. Williams College

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and when it ends is up to you! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
You have access to the course for a year. If you need it for more than a year, you will be able to renew at a discount. We know students are at different stages in high school, which is why we want to make this course available as needed and keep prices low at the same time, so that you only pay for as long as you are using it.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 10 days and we will give you a full refund.
Is this worth the money?
Well, that's really up to you to decide. A college education is one of the the most influential times in a student's life. It can give you access to new opportunities - meeting people from all over the world, learning from award winning experts in their field, even potentially landing a well paying job. The average fee for consultants to help students with college applications ranges from $4,000 to $7,000. Some even charge $15,000 to $80,000! Through this course, you'll learn how to get yourself through the college application process without the high price tag.
Does this course guarantee acceptance into any school?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that you will get into any specific schools, since your admissions results are up to the colleges and universities alone.
Does this take the place of hiring a college admissions consultant?
It depends. This offers the information and tactics to submit your best college application based on how well you follow the course. If you are not someone who can manage your time and take initiative to implement the recommended actions, then this may not be the best choice for you. This may also not be the best course for you, if you need one-on-one attention. For example, students that have learning or physical disabilities or those who are applying to extremely competitive schools, may want to supplement this with a few consultant hours.
