Attention Ambitious Students & Parents...

"You Did Everything They Told You To Do. So Why Does Your Application Look Exactly Like 47,000 Other 'Perfect' Students?"

The admissions game collapsed after 2020. Acceptance rates dropped 43% since. Perfect grades became average. And for the first time in history, having a 4.0 GPA makes you invisible. Here's the Narrative Method turning "average" students into must-admits — and the only program where you don't pay unless it works.

In 1950, a 3.0 GPA made you exceptional.

Today, 47% of high school students have straight-A averages.

Perfect GPAs used to be rare. Now they're expected.

Meanwhile, applications exploded by 385,000 students since 2020 while Ivy acceptance rates dropped from 8.9% to 5.1%.

The math is simple: More perfect students competing for fewer spots means perfect isn't special anymore.

Elite universities stopped looking for perfect students.

They started looking for proven leaders.

Not students who will make an impact.... Students who already have.

The Narrative Method teaches you to build proof of leadership while living your life — not scrambling senior year to manufacture achievements.

You're not trying to look like a leader.

You're becoming one.

For decades, admissions rewarded perfect resumes. More clubs. Higher scores. Better grades. That worked when perfect students were rare.

Grades went up. Acceptance rates went down.

Elite universities now select stories, not resumes.

Do it yourself: You don't know what's broken until decisions come back.
School counselors: Generic guidance is the only thing that scales to hundreds of students.
Online courses: Information without execution doesn't create differentiation.
Traditional counselors: High-cost strategies built for a pre-2020 admissions system.

The Narrative Method doesn't just improve resumes. It's designed to make a student impossible to confuse with anyone else. Other paths help students look qualified. The Narrative Method makes them unmistakable.

This is for you if...

You're serious about getting into an Ivy League, top 25, or dream university — and you're not willing to settle for "safety options."
You've done everything "right" — good grades, activities, test prep — but you look at your application and wonder: "Is this enough? Is this better than my peers?"
You want a proven framework — not guesswork or crossed fingers.

Hi, I'm Elise. I'm a current Harvard student and I was accepted to every single Ivy League school I applied to. I achieved this without coming from a wealthy family, having alumni connections, or attending an elite prep school.

I was attending a public high school where over two-thirds of students were socio-economically disadvantaged. I didn't have a "perfect" application. I had a narrative driven one.

The Same System Has Helped Students Get Into...

Giselle — from my same underfunded high school — turned her underdog story into a Stanford "must-admit"
Mark — raised by a single mother, no standout activities — landed his dream spot at USC
Dianne — She had no AP classes, SAT, or ACT and still got into Rice, UC Davis, UC Berkeley

This isn't luck. This is a proven approach.

Now here's what most students do.

This isn't luck. This is a proven approach.

Now here's what most students do.

They chase the "perfect profile.”

Stack activities and test scores. Polish every line. Check every box. Do everything they're "supposed" to do, trying to be someone they aren’t.

And then cross their fingers and hope it's enough.

That quiet fear you have that you're "just another impressive student" isn’t imposter syndrome.

It’s called being indistinguishable. Thousands of students now have strong GPAs, APs and honors, a packed activities list filled with things that they think will make them “unique”.

I don't want to scare you but the hard truth most students don't want to accept is that, even with all that effort, nothing about their application actually stands out.

When your application could be anyone's application, even with an attempt to be “different”... you become just another high-achieving student in a pile of millions of high-achieving students.

The "perfect profile" doesn't get you in any more.

Around 2020, the old admissions model collapsed — and most families didn't even notice.

Tests went optional.
Grades went pass/fail.
Activities disappeared.

Elite schools had to find a new way to spot future leaders, not just "perfect students." Schools like Harvard stopped relying on traditional metrics. And in that moment, they realized something they couldn't unsee:

Perfect test scores don't predict future impact.
Polished resumes don't reveal potential leaders.
4.0 GPAs don't identify world-changers.

Most students are still playing the old game. Still stacking activities. Still chasing perfect scores. Still optimizing for metrics that no longer move the needle.

Without the right approach, you're left...

Guessing what universities want — instead of knowing.
Hoping your application stands out — instead of making it impossible to ignore.

It breaks my heart every year when students tell me they're 'still waiting to hear back' — while their friends are already posting acceptances… because I know if they understood the truth earlier, things would’ve been different.

That sinking feeling on decision day — second guessing all the countless hours you poured in. You’re doing everything "right." But you're playing an outdated game against students who know the new rules.

This is why we built the Narrative Method.

This is why we built the Narrative Method.

Here's what it is in one sentence: We help you identify the ONE compelling story that connects everything in your application so that when an admissions officer reads it, they don't see "another qualified student."

Yes, I Want To See If I Qualify For This Opportunity!

They see someone they can't afford to lose. Your stats are secondary. Your story is the reason they fight for you in committee.

Admissions officers aren't sitting around debating who has the slightly higher GPA. They want to admit students whose story is clear, memorable, and aligned with the kind of impact their school wants to claim credit for. It's the quiet truth most students feel in the back of their minds but don't know how to act on

You don't need to "invent" a new self. You don't need a more impressive life. You need help translating who you actually are into a story colleges can act on.

Instead of staring at a blank essay wondering what to write... you'll have complete clarity on your story and exactly how to tell it.
Instead of scattered activities that don't connect... you'll have a throughline that makes everything feel intentional.
Instead of being indistinguishable from 47,000 other "perfect" applicants... you'll be the one they remember when they walk into committee.

You stop competing on metrics. You start competing on meaning. And that's a game most applicants don't understand.

You stop competing on metrics. You start competing on meaning. And that's a game most applicants don't understand.

I'm going to walk you through the exact 3-phase process we use to transform your application in just a minute.

But first — I need to show you something most students have never heard before. Because once you understand how admissions actually works behind closed doors, everything else clicks into place.

What Really Happens Behind Closed Doors

Here's what nobody tells you: Admissions officers don't actually read your application. They scan it. The average time spent on an application is under 8 minutes.

And in those 8 minutes, they're not evaluating whether you're qualified. They're looking for a reason to stop evaluating you and move to the next file. Your job isn't to avoid mistakes. Your job is to give them a reason to admit you.

Because here's how it actually works: After the initial scan, a small number of applications get flagged for committee review. In that room, an admissions officer has to stand up and argue for why you should be admitted.

They need ammunition. They need a story they can tell. They need to say:

"This is the student who ___________."

If they can't fill in that blank in one sentence? You're not getting in.

The Narrative Method gives them that sentence.

Yes, I Want To See If I Qualify For This Opportunity!

PILLAR 1: THE DISCOVERY PHASE

This is where we uncover what makes you truly unique — not just your achievements, but your real potential for impact. We go deep into your background, strengths, experiences, and what actually matters to you.

We're not just listing achievements. We're looking for the story that's already there — hiding in plain sight.

HERE'S THE KEY INSIGHT: Most students try to guess what universities want and then shape themselves to fit. This is backwards.

The applications that win aren't the ones that fit a mold. They're the ones that are so clearly themselves that they can't be compared to anyone else.

You already have a story. It's in your family, your challenges, your obsessions, and what you do when nobody's watching.

By the end of Discovery, you'll have complete clarity on who you are as an applicant — and exactly how to communicate it.

No more staring at a blank essay.

No more scattered activities that don't connect.

WE IDENTIFY your unique narrative angle — the one throughline that connects everything
WE UNCOVER the themes that will make you impossible to forget
WE FIND the signal in your "messy real story" and turn it into something clear and compelling

You transform from "another high-achieving student"...

Into someone universities see as their next success story.

You stop being indistinguishable. You become someone they can picture on their campus, in their alumni magazine, giving the commencement speech in 20 years.

And the twist is, you don't need a more interesting life than the one you’ve lived so far to show. You just need a better lens on the life you've already lived.

Diana came to us with no SAT, no ACT, and zero AP scores. She'd spent years watching friends celebrate high test scores while convincing herself she was "disqualified" from top schools. Rice felt like a fantasy.

Here's what she couldn't see: As a first-generation, low-income student from Oklahoma, Diana had spent her life navigating systems that weren't built for her. She didn't just survive — she led. But she'd been so busy comparing herself to students with perfect scores that she dismissed her own story as "not enough."

Within a few months, we helped her stop hiding her background and make it the heart of her application. Rice's admissions committee didn't see "a student without test scores." They saw a future leader worth investing in. She didn't suddenly get a 1500 SAT. She didn't manufacture achievements. She changed how her story was told.

Here's what separates us from every other college prep program out there:

We don't just tell you what to do.

We help you implement everything.

Most programs hand you a checklist and let you "figure it out." You watch some videos, download some templates, and hope for the best.

We get in the trenches with you — giving you direct, weekly feedback and guidance on every piece of your application and activities. Imagine an older sibling who's "been through it" giving you clarity every step of the way.

Let me show you how...

PILLAR 2: YOUR MASTERPLAN

Once we've identified your unique narrative, we build your complete strategy:

Core themes that define you
How each activity, project, and choice supports that one singular narrative
A clear through-line that connects everything

Think about your favorite series on Netflix — every part of your application should feel like an episode in that same series, not random clips from different shows.

What you get:

Weekly group coaching calls with me personally
Direct access to our team of admissions experts
1-on-1 live feedback on every element of your application

Your Story Weaves Through Everything.

We help you craft a narrative that connects every element:

Your Essays — not five random topics, but five angles on a singular narrative
Your Activities — not a list, but proof of who you've always been
Your Internships — not resume padding, but evidence of your trajectory
Your Projects — not "impressive" for its own sake, but aligned with your through-line
Your Grades & Test Scores — contextualized, not excused

Everything connects. So that when an admissions officer finishes your application, they can say in one sentence who you are and why you matter.

Giselle came from the exact same underprivileged high school I attended. No fancy internships. No elite summer programs. No prestigious awards.

On paper, she had none of the "advantages" that supposedly get you into Stanford. But Giselle had spent years navigating between two cultures — first-generation American, translating for her parents since age 8, mediating between worlds that didn't understand each other.

Most counselors would've called this a "hardship" to mention briefly and move past. We built her entire application around it.

When Stanford saw her application, they didn't see "another student with good grades from a bad school." They saw someone who'd been training her whole life to bridge divides — exactly the kind of leader they want to produce.

Her "disadvantage" became the very thing that made her unforgettable.

Mark was raised by a single mother. Worked 20 hours a week through high school. Minimal extracurriculars. Nothing that traditionally "wows" admissions officers. By every conventional measure, he was an underdog.

But here's what we found: Mark had been the "unofficial IT guy" for his entire apartment complex since he was 14. Not a formal role, just something he did because he could. Fixed computers, set up WiFi, taught elderly neighbors how to video call their grandkids.

Small thing? Sure. But it revealed something about who Mark is at his core. We built his application around that identity — the kid who sees a problem and just... fixes it. No permission needed. No credit required. USC didn't see "a student with no activities." They saw a builder. A doer. Someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do.

Mark didn't need a better resume. He needed someone to show him the story he was already living.

Now you might be thinking…

"Isn't it too early to start thinking about this?"

If you're in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade — this is exactly when your story is being built. The students who get into elite schools aren't crafting their narrative senior year. They're living it sophomore and junior year — making choices that create real proof.

Students who start with us in 9th or 10th grade have 2–3 summers to build genuine evidence for their story. They can pursue projects, internships, and experiences that actually align with who they are.

Students who wait until senior fall? They're not building. They're spinning — trying to retroactively create a narrative from whatever they happened to do.

Starting early isn't overkill. It's the single biggest advantage you can give yourself.

"We'll figure it out ourselves."

You absolutely can. Plenty of families do.

The question is: How much time, stress, and missed opportunity are you willing to spend learning by trial and error?

Most families reflect on what actually works after the rejection letters arrive. They look back and think, "Why didn't anyone tell us this?"

We're telling you now.

And if you're a junior — you haven't missed your window. You still have time... BUT that window is measured in months now, not years. The difference between students who get in and students who don't often comes down to what they do in the next 6-9 months.

"I'm not a legacy. I don't have perfect stats."

Good. That's who we built this for.

We don't select students based on legacy status or perfect numbers. We select based on seriousness and willingness to work the system.

The One-Story System was designed as the equalizer — for students who have to earn their spot, not the ones who have every advantage handed to them.

Some of our best results have come from students with 3.0 GPAs, no connections, and nothing "impressive" on paper. What they had was a real story and the willingness to let us help them tell it.

The Real Risk Isn't Taking Action

The real risk is doing everything "right" on paper...

...and still waking up on decision day with no idea which way it'll go.

Refreshing your email. Pit in your stomach. Hoping.

The sleepless nights before decisions drop. The second-guessing after you hit submit. The slow realization that you were working hard — but maybe not on the right things.

The risk isn't trying something new.

The risk is not doing everything in your power to represent all the effort you already and are willing to put in.

We only work with a limited number of students each application cycle to ensure everyone gets the personalized attention they need.

This isn't a 'counseling' group of unvetted tutors or recent grads reading from scripts.

It's hands-on partnership with trained professionals who've actually been through this themselves.

If you're seeing this, there are still spots available. But they won't last — especially as application season approaches.

From here, you have two paths.

Path One:

Keep doing what you're doing. More APs, more activities, more test prep, more stress. Check every box. Second guess every line. Cross your fingers and hope it's enough to stand out.

Stay wondering what if. Hope the admissions lottery falls in your favor.

On decision day, hold your breath and pray.

Path Two:

Build one compelling story that makes your dream schools see you as their next success story — not just another good student in a pile of good students.

Stop competing on metrics. Start competing on meaning. Become unforgettable.

If there's even a small part of you that knows this might be what you need...

If we think we can help you get into one of your dream schools, we'll show you what working together looks like.

If we don't think we're the right fit, we'll tell you that too — and you'll still leave with clarity and a plan.

No pressure. No salesy conversations.

A genuine conversation and honest assessment of where you stand and what it'll take to get where you want to go.

Totally worth it. Highly recommended for those who want to identify and fill in their learning gaps in the SAT

Elise is the real deal. She's super approachable. She's super friendly.I was really impressed with Elise's dedication.

I don't know if that girl ever sleeps.The information she shares, her generosity is genuine. And, you know, take a chance. I don't think you'll regret it.

Rajeel Z.

Hi Elise, I hope you are doing well! I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I ended up getting accepted into Northwestern University! Thank you so much for all of your help, I truly appreciate all your insight and advice throughout the process.

I will be sure to keep your business in mind and refer people to you should they need any help with their college application process. I hope you continue to succeed in your endeavors and achieve all your goals and more!

The UILG program gave me so many resources and chances to get great feedback on my essays. As the oldest sibling with no parents who went to college in the U.S., I felt pretty overwhelmed by all the supplemental essays.

But the coaches were there to support me like older siblings, always quick to give advice and help when I needed it. Their feedback really made a difference.

When I started my college application process, I was overwhelmed and lost because my deadline was approaching very soon and I didn't have anyone to check over my application and essays. But when I came across Ultimate Mentor, I voiced my concerns to Elise about meeting the deadline and wanting to make my application the strongest it could be.

And with that, she provided me with amazing edits and revisions within just a couple of hours after my submission.If I'm being honest, you can't find these fast and reliable services anywhere else, so I strongly recommend using Ultimate Mentor.

Aditi M.

I felt lost within the college admissions process, without much idea of how to do things (especially since I’m an only child). After joining UILG and being given a guiding gameplan on how can tackle the college admissions process, I felt on track for success and even a sense of ease! UILG has continuied to help me grow by giving my continuous feedback on my essays and writing style to ensure I can effectively voice my personality through my essays.

To anyone that is looking to work with UILG, I highly recommend it! It’s provided me a sense of direction when it came to the college admissions process, and I felt like I was in good hands when it came to my essays.

Before attending the program, I was a little lost on how the college application worked and what I needed to do to secure my spot at a top school.

Throughout the program, my mentors worked with me to not only establish a strong foundation, but to also guide me through the specifics behind the college application process.

I was incredibly lost and overwhelmed about the college application process, especially as the deadline was approaching in 4 days, and I didn't have anyone who could check over my application in a way to ensure it was on par.

Thus, it felt like a miracle when, after voicing these concerns to Elise, she provided incredible edits/revisions only a couple of hours after my submission. All of the revisions are well thought out, and I can DEF tell the hype around Ultimate Mentor!! I STRONGLY recommend this service, especially for those who never had a college consultant or is just overwhelmed by it all. Thank you, Elise!

Hey I got into Stanford and I just want to say thank you for your help with everything!

You were literally my upper classmate guide and if it wasn't for you I would have been lost.

Elise was extremely helpful to me in our last tutoring session. I had booked calls at the top 5 ivy league counseling services (prepory, the ivy institute, etc) and I liked her the best. We were ready to put a lot of money down for these people but then I found Elise. I liked Elise the best because she actually seemed real and wasn't like a 40 year old man that I felt was not with the times.

Elise didn't seem money oriented and greedy like other people I had met and she had a large plethora of knowledge so relate to me on an individual level.I am recommending her to everyone that I know that could use her services.

Jyot S.

I contacted Ultimate Mentor through Instagram and I was looking for some sort of guidance to the college process.

I don't really see any flaw in the program. I think that if you're willing to put in the work, there's no reason not to join.If this sounds like you, I think you should really consider this as an option for college prep as soon as the ninth grade.

I was able to view myself through lenses I’ve never seen, and through the help of Elise, Brian, Jaden, Mandy, and Izzy, I’ve been able to grow into not only a better admissions cycle applicant, but as a better student, sibling, and person.

Overall, my most significant achievement thus far, with the help of UILG, was my likely letter from Northeastern, a possibility that I couldn’t have imagined without the help of Elise and her team all together.

Accepted to:

Makeda T.

The UILG program was honestly one of the best decisions I think I could’ve made throughout my entire high school career.

I was able to organize myself a resume and get accepted into a variety of summer programs and get a 5 on my ap European history exam!

Zuzanna P.

I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of UILG. I’ve gained skills that will later come in handy during college...

If you’re a struggling student like I used to be, this program will be the ideal move to really elevate your applications through your personality.

Sophie K.

I was able to break down the overwhelming admissions process into manageable steps, allowing me to focus on every aspect of my application with clarity.

The coaches were extremely supportive and dedicated their time to review my essays, ensuring that each one reflected my values and curiosity.

Halina N.

With the help of this program, I was able to write beautifully crafted essays that reflect my journey towards the person I have become, something grades could never do.

I would like to highlight specifically the coaching staff that this program has. I strongly believe what makes this program stand out compared to others are the work ethics of the coaches. They were truly remarkable and had so much knowledge about the admission process and what admission officers look for in an applicant.

Himani M.

The Ultimate Ivy League Guide program has contributed to my recent achievement of working on earning the U.S. Congressional Award because the mentors helped me find this award to work towards and also guided me when I had questions.

I would most like to highlight my growth in my college essay knowledge due to the program because I learned how the different common app and uc applications differ and also how to approach different prompts for different colleges.
