2026 cycle · admissions wins & growth stories
Three real growth paths — 4-year mentorship to dual Ivy offers, original research to MIT, contest coaching to Waterloo.
Four-year mentorship → dual offers from Harvard + Yale
Four years of planning and 1-on-1 mentoring from middle school. Under Jessie's leadership, a comprehensive evaluation shaped a "pageant + research" dual-track strategy aligned to her strengths — academics, activities, essays, and interviews all in one loop. Class of 2026: Harvard + Yale, same cycle.

Smart coffee table + nightstand — cross-disciplinary research wins MIT
Built from scratch under mentor supervision: a rotating, emotion- and weight-sensing smart coffee table and nightstand. Code, AI, emotion recognition, load sensing, and woodworking — hardware prototype through software interaction, hands on the entire stack. A one-of-a-kind portfolio piece that landed an MIT offer in 2025.
Mentor team
Coding + math contest track → 5 admits to Waterloo
Through STEMRise contest coaching (CCC / USACO for coding, Euclid / AMC for math), multiple students earned 2025–26 admits into Waterloo CS / Engineering / Math — verifiable contest results beat a long activity list any day.
