My application Counselor, Natalia, provided me with invaluable insights and read (dozens of) my supplemental essay drafts, providing thoughtful feedback. Her empathy and vast knowledge of the application process were an incredible support that I would wish for any student.

Mayank was great, and so was rich in terms of helping out with everything! going above and beyond.

InGenius DC Area Office Director Crystal Wang brought me to InGenius. At that time, my friend also introduced me to another organization which helped her son get into a top Ivy League School. However, Crystal’s presentation about InGenius is so impressive. First, Crystal showed me great records of InGenius and there are so many students went into Ivy League schools. Second, Crystal mentioned that they have a number of former admission officers who know what the admission office looks at. Third, Crystal showed us the research programs InGenius provides. Fourth, Crystal mentioned that students directly interact with former admission officer and graduate coach, they not only help students prepare for college application, but also trains students how to interact with others via the whole process which is very necessary for both college application and future social life. Fifth,Crystal told us that progress manager coordinates the students with former admission officer and graduate coach and updates parents each step of the process. Furthermore, Crystal is so considerate and so responsive and resolved all my concerns and needs. I am a good lawyer and I am very picky, but I am very satisfied with Crystal and decided to engage InGenius to help my son with his college application. Crystal tried her best to get me the best team possible to help my son. Yutong Duan is the best progress manager we could ever have. She is not only very diligent to perform her regular responsibilities, but also went out of her way to provide extremely valuable suggestions to us which is very important for my son’s college application. Thank you so much, Crystal, Yutong, former admission officer and graduate coaches, for your help to my son for his admission to a top Ivy League School. Great team, excellent people and great results! We love InGenius!

Big thanks to my daughter's InGenius team! With the guidance and support of Priscilla, Adriana and Junnia, my daughter got into her dream school. As my daughter described it, their advice definitely helped her present herself at her best. She made the right choices through her application journey. I would strongly recommend InGenius Prep to families looking to elevate their kids' educational journey.

Working with my team at InGenius Prep, Zach Sweeney (Graduate Coach), Wes Mills (FAO), and Zak Harris, has been one of the most impactful parts of my entire college application journey. Their guidance, honesty, and belief in what I’m building with Black Boys Fence pushed me to think bigger, write with more intention, and trust my own voice. That level of mentorship made all the difference. InGenius Prep excels at pairing students with coaches who genuinely invest in their growth. My team didn’t just edit my essays, they helped me understand how to tell my story with clarity and purpose. They challenged me when I needed it, supported me through stressful moments, and consistently showed up with thoughtful, actionable feedback. That combination of high expectations and real care is rare, and it’s what made my experience great. As I look ahead to Columbia, I’m still processing everything, but I couldn’t be happier. I’m excited for the rigorous learning environment, the chance to grow, and the opportunity to keep expanding the mission we talked about so much. The advice I received about saying “yes” to opportunities and staying grounded in where I come from is something I’ll carry with me. Overall, InGenius Prep is doing an exceptional job at providing personalized, mission‑aligned mentorship that helps students find their voice and navigate an overwhelming process with confidence. I’m deeply grateful for the support, and I’m proud of the work we did together. Sincerely, Scott Holliday Columbia University Class of 2030 InGenius Prep Alumni :-)

I had an amazing time working with my FAO, GC, and progress manager. They were always there to help me plan out my activities and summer plans. They were also super helpful with essays, providing feedback and replying to my messages very promptly. I was able to get into my first choice, UPenn, through Early Decision, and I'm so happy that I got to work with IGP!

Throughout the entire CB process, my FAO was super supportive in our biweekly meetings and offered crucial insight and judgement into activities to pursue, summer schools to attend, etc. and provided me with plenty of information to make my own call. And during application season, my meetings with my FAO and GC really helped shaped my PS into a workable story as I was struggling to produce something for quite a few weeks, and we were able to refine the PS to a very nice narrative! My GC always gave really insightful feedback for the supps, and I could always reach out to her for questions. My FAO offered super close reviews of FR materials, especially fixing many details in the AL. Overall, it was a pleasure working with this team, and I'm so glad we've achieved a great result.

I initially learned about InGenius Prep through their webinars and found them to be very knowledgeable in the college admissions process. I talked with Kristen Flanagan, their assistant managing director several times before committing to their college advising service. Kristen was very patient and knowledgeable with my questions. The advantage of InGenius over other college admissions services is that your student will have a team to support and encourage them throughout the process from selecting a list of schools that match their strengths and interests to keeping them on track with their essays and application deadlines. Abby and Kimberly were not only knowledgeable, but incredibly kind and patient. The amount of work that is required for college applications can be overwhelming during senior year and they helped our student stay on track with the entire process without my having to be involved much, and I can be the parent who cheers them on and not have to bug them constantly about getting their essays written:) I’m happy to share that our student was accepted into their dream Ivy League school and is absolutely ecstatic! We are very grateful to the InGenius Prep team!
