Expert guidance for every step of the college admissions journey

Strategic, personalized coaching for students aiming high—essays, school lists, and application timelines built for success.

Hi there. 

My name is Alejandra Blanco.

I’m passionate about helping high school students navigate the college admissions process with clarity and confidence. The choices made now shape opportunities far beyond the next four years. With stakes this high, families deserve expert guidance every step of the way.

 

After graduating from Cornell University in 2018, I began my career on Wall Street, spending four years in investment banking. My experience recruiting and mentoring students through Cornell’s finance pipeline, as well as serving as a writing consultant and application specialist, sparked a deeper interest in coaching students on how to tell their stories powerfully and uniquely.

​

I later transitioned into college admissions consulting with a premier national firm, where I’ve guided hundreds of students and reviewed thousands of essays. My students have earned acceptances to top universities including Columbia, Georgia Tech, Michigan, UC Berkeley, and NYU, among many others.

 

Today, my approach blends Ivy-League insight, analytical rigor, and personalized mentorship to help each student present their most authentic and compelling application.

 

I currently live in New York City, where you’ll find me sampling new cuisines or jogging through Central Park when I’m not reading another stellar essay draft.
