When we applied to Stanford, MIT & the Ivy League, we had strong academics—but so did everyone else.
What made the difference wasn’t just our test scores or GPA. It was the way we told our story—through our essays, our activities, and how everything connected to show who we really were and how we would contribute to the university's mission.
Now as a Crimson Platinum Strategist, I’ve helped many other students gain admission to Stanford, MIT, and the Ivy League. In this webinar, my student, Arya, and I will break down what actually matters in your application.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- What Stanford and Ivy League admissions officers are really looking for in top applicants
- How to craft an application theme that highlights your strengths and values
- The extracurriculars and projects that show curiosity, creativity, and initiative
- Common mistakes that even strong students make—and how to avoid them
- How to approach your essays and recommendations with purpose and clarity
We'll also answer your questions LIVE, so you walk away with real, actionable insights.
If Stanford, MIT, or an Ivy League university is your dream school, don’t miss this. Register now.

Meet Your Speakers: Yanni & Arya
