North American undergraduate admissions

I review grades, course choices, activities, and deadlines together. A school list should account for the curriculum, campus, Co-op access, and what the student genuinely wants to study. We revise drafts in rounds, with evidence behind every claim.

WHEN THIS WORK FITS

This may sound familiar

Beginning a Canadian or U.S. undergraduate application
Comparing many schools and programs without clear criteria
Has worthwhile experience, but the application still lacks a clear point of view

WHAT THE REVIEW INCLUDES

What I review with the student

01Review grades, course choices, activities, and school-specific deadlines
02Compare programs, campuses, and Co-op options
03Plan an activity or project the student can complete and explain
04Review essays and supplements in rounds, sentence by sentence when needed
05Prepare scholarship materials and university interviews
06Revisit courses, opportunities, and personal fit when offers arrive

An admissions reader should be able to see what the student did, why it mattered, and how that experience connects to the program being considered.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Two ways to work together

Book time around one clear goal

Useful for reviewing one resume, running a Mock Interview, working through an algorithm exercise, or examining a round of application writing in detail.

Rewrite one resume, checking against ATS and role keywords for real experience the filter misses
One coding or algorithm Mock Interview, reviewed section by section afterwards
Behavioral Mock, building the STAR stories for conflict, failure, and ownership questions
System Design or OOD practised on its own
One round of application writing

Continue through a project and recruiting cycle

For students who need weekly project progress, recurring Code Review, and preparation tied to several Co-op or New Grad interview rounds.

Weekly priorities set by real Co-op or New Grad recruiting dates
One project the student builds and can open the code to explain
One-on-one Code Review covering design, implementation, and refactoring choices
School choice, writing, and interview prep scheduled back from each deadline
Applications sent in batches, where feedback from one batch decides the next

Frequently asked questions

FAQ / 01When should a Canadian or U.S. undergraduate application begin?

Review prerequisites and sustained activities early. Plan the school list, supplements, and interview work backward from each deadline. The first review identifies what cannot be repaired in the final month.

FAQ / 02Can we book a single essay or application review?

Yes. A clearly bounded draft can be reviewed once. If the school list, experience, and writing reveal a connected problem, we can then decide whether work across the application cycle is useful.

FAQ / 03Will you write the essay or package activities for the student?

No. The student supplies the real experience and keeps the final decision. I question unsupported claims, identify logical gaps, and help the student make their own meaning clear.

FAQ / 04Will parents understand the student's progress?

Within the communication scope agreed at the start, parents can see what has been completed, what remains, and what comes next. The student still creates and approves the application work.

Tell me a little about the student

The form does not need to read like an application essay. Share the student's stage, nearest deadline, and one question that needs attention, then leave an email address or phone number.

You do not have to commit to anything first. The same form can book a single free 15-minute call, which is enough time to cover where the student is now and what needs solving next.
