Get on the right track

It’s more than a numbers game

A high SAT/ACT/GPA is now the standard.

Become A Storyteller

Admission officers want people, not numbers. Tell a story that resonates; one that describes what makes you different, interesting, and a strong fit for your target school.

Who Am I?

Hi! I’m Jacob from Acton, MA.

I recently graduated Cum Laude from Yale University with a B.A. in Philosophy with distinction in the major. I’m passionate about writing, storytelling, and education!

At Yale, I was the Captain of the Varsity Track and Field team, a Student Athlete Mentor, Tutor, and a mental health advocate.

I attended public high school in Massachusetts, scored a 35 on the ACT, and was named 2x All-American and Boston Globe All-Scholastic
