Duke Admit + Valedictorian Offering 1:1 College App Advice

Hi everyone! I'm Ashia — I recently graduated high school as valedictorian and will be attending Duke University this fall. I was also accepted into UT Austin’s Turing Scholars Program (CS honors, ~20 admits/year), and I’m a National Merit Scholar with awards in international research, a nonprofit I founded, and pending patents in science/tech.

Throughout high school, I helped classmates plan their schedules, build standout resumes, and write compelling college essays. Now, I’m offering 1:1 advice for middle school and high school students who want support with:

- Strategic school list building (ED/EA choices included)

- Brainstorming and refining personal statements and supplements

- Resume development and activity descriptions

- Class and extracurricular planning

- General admissions strategy + timeline help

If you're interested, feel free to DM me on CollegeVine — happy to chat or answer any questions you have!
