Our Story
Established by seasoned consultants from Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, and Northwestern, ESA is an admissions consulting organization in the United States and China.
We differ from other consulting organizations by prioritizing student versatility. The college admissions process has become increasingly competitive, to the point that a strong GPA and test scores are no longer enough for applicants to differentiate themselves from the competition.
In addition to college application advising for high school seniors, we also mentor students between grades 8 and 11 through our Candidacy Development Program. Through this program, we have a team of advisors equipped to help students develop leadership activities, source internships/collegiate-level research opportunities, and complete a signature independent project to demonstrate a wide array of skills to college admissions committees.

“Daniel helped me achieve my dream of being accepted at UCLA. He was extremely thorough with every part of my application, including my essays, activities lists, and everything in between.”
“Daniel is a saving grace. My daughter was struggling with a couple of waitlists for her college applications. And guess what?? My daughter got off the waitlist at both colleges due to Daniel's advice!”
“Daniel helped me with my college essays and he was very knowledgeable on helping students polish their application. He made my college application process more enjoyable and easier to approach and I am very grateful to have him as my mentor.”
