Congratulations to my students in the Class of 2024, who were admitted to Stanford, UChicago (2 students), Colby, Duke, Vassar, Northeastern, Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley (out of state), Cornell (Engineering), UMich (out of state, EA, CS + Engineering), Colgate, USC Viterbi (Engineering), UNC-Chapel Hill (out of state), Georgia Tech (out of state), NYU, Wesleyan (2 students), Carleton, Skidmore, Case Western, Syracuse, Lehigh, McGill, UMass Amherst Honors College, UW-Madison, Macalester, Bucknell, Oberlin, and UToronto, among other schools!

From a parent: "Thank you so much for the wise counsel and support you have given our daughter. Your guidance and overall approach have given her so much confidence and fortitude and I am really grateful."

From a student: "Sara Su's patience and willingness to go above and beyond for her students has set her apart from any teacher or coach I have ever worked with. In just a few short months, my writing and ability to problem-solve both improved tremendously. Sara Su has taught me how to research thoroughly, write with specificity, and break challenges down into small, manageable pieces. And above all, my sessions with Sara Su helped me remember why I love to learn. I could not have managed the college application process without her."

From a student: "I wanted to express my greatest appreciation for all that you have done for me throughout the process. Your insights, essay help, and general life advice have served me very well and will be incredibly helpful when I am at college. I wouldn't have been able to get the results that I did without your help. I am very grateful that you have been here on this journey with me."
