About
Hi! College applications can be stressful and opaque, but they don't have to be. With the right guidance, I will help you de-mystify the admissions process, making sure you know exactly what you need to do to achieve your goals. I believe in meeting students where they are and working with them to present their authentic selves – not who they think they should be, or who they think colleges want. I want you to succeed as yourself! I can work on a range of items with you, whether it be picking schools, writing essays, or preparing for interviews. If you are serious about working together, please schedule a free consultation.
About me: I just graduated from Yale University with a double major in computer science and political science. Next year, I'm going to be one of twelve Mitchell Scholars, studying political science in Ireland. At Yale, I was the Opinion Editor for the Yale Daily News, a high school debate coach for Hunter College HS, and a journalist for the New Haven Independent. ...

Guide to College Applications
3 hours
Meant for students who are not yet in their senior year, this session offers you the opportunity to prepare for admissions. How should you select your courses in high school? How can you pick extracurricular that excite you? What schools should you tour, or how do you even make a list of schools to apply to? After going through my proposed plan (as always, tailored for your needs), we can cover any questions you want.

Guide to the Supplemental Essay
5 hours
I recommend five hours for working on supplemental essays (usually we can do one or two schools' worth). Supplemental essays might be the last step for many students, but they are often the difference between acceptance and not. Schools really want to see if you will fit in their culture and whether you've actually done your research. Here, we'll go over how supplemental essays might provide more context to your narrative and make your application nuanced.

Guide to Common Core
10 hours
I recommend ten hours for working on the Common Core. We'll go over your main essay, how you shape your extracurricular list, and how you frame your narrative. We'll also go into the "Additional Information" section and talk about how the Common Core should shape your strategies for your interviews, recommendation letters, and supplemental essays.

Writing 'Why This College?' Essays
$80.00 / 60 min
Many students work hard all four years of high school to get the best grades and extracurriculars they can. Yet one of the most important parts of college admissions is not just who you are, but why you want to go to a certain school. In this session, I'll help you think about tackling this essay – from how to research schools, what details to focus on, and how to show colleges you are a serious applicant.

“Rabhya provided me with critical information for creating a great personal statement. This guidance, along with other sessions relating to college supplementals, allowed me to near-effortlessly write college essays. Thanks to Rabhya's insightful and gentle ways, I've been accepted to ten different schools, three of which are my top choices. I would highly recommend Rabhya as an advisor to all students."
