Penn/Columbia Grad: Admissions Coach

Hi there, I'm Fatima! Over the past 8 years, I have worked with 200+ students on their admissions strategy and applications. My clients have gotten into the top schools in the country including Harvard, Columbia, UPenn, Cornell, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, U of Chicago, NYU, UC Berkeley, and USC. Specializing in admissions to highly selective schools, I am well-versed in what elite universities look for in an applicant—leadership, passion, curiosity, work ethic, and grit, amongst other things. These qualities (and more) can be demonstrated using the various pieces of the admissions puzzle. I assist you in navigating each of these pieces, including course selection, extracurriculars, personal brand, college selection, testing strategy, essays, and interviews. So no matter what stage of high school you're in, I can help you take your next steps. In fact, the earlier we start (I'm looking at you freshmen), the easier this process becomes, and the greater your chances of success. Once, I was exactly where you are right now, frazzled by the increasingly complex college admissions maze and the blinking cursor on a blank word document. After I figured this process out for myself, I went on to major in Political Science at UPenn, where I was also a Benjamin Franklin Scholar, made Dean's List, and graduated with Honors. I, then, went on to study investigative journalism at Columbia Journalism School and write stories for major national outlets. Writing has been my passion since I was a child, and it's something I'll be doing for the rest of my life. I love words and totally nerd out on how to put them together. And I am super stoked to partner with you on your goals, whatever they may be. We got this!
