Parent of a 12th Grader

Mike works very well with my daughter and gives me a report after each session, which I really appreciate. I am very satisfied with the progress so far and am confident my daughter will do very well on her SAT's the second time around.

College Counseling Student

Gao Admissions helped me elevate my 'just okay' college application essays into highly competitive pieces of writing. Gao always made himself available to fit into my hectic schedule, and provided me with personalized and specific advice to take my essays to the next level. Due in part to Gao Admissions' excellent guidance, I was admitted into a highly selective dual degree program at the University of Pennsylvania.
