We offer one-on-one, insider-driven support from two Yale students who know the admissions game from the inside out. With a deep understanding of how to create real impact, we help students break through barriers, amplify their strengths, and build an application that stands out. Our approach isn’t just about today — we’re building tomorrow’s tools to change how college admissions works forever.
Every student is different, and so is every great application. We work closely to identify where you shine — and where you need to grow. With insider insight, we help you present your story in a compelling way that admissions officers notice. No fluff — just focused, personal, and powerful strategy that works.

With direct, honest feedback from experienced consultants, we help you refine every element to align with your goals and give you the best shot at acceptance.
We’ve been through it — and we’ve cracked the code. As current Yale students, we bring firsthand knowledge of the college admissions landscape and access to insights few others have. We’ll teach you what most don’t know — because real results come from knowing the playbook behind the process.
Getting into college is just the beginning. We help you build habits, mindset, and confidence that will carry you far beyond admissions. Our goal is to prepare you not just for an acceptance letter — but for thriving in college and beyond. Your future isn’t a guess. It’s a plan — starting now.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, academic background, and passions. This personalized session allows us to identify key strengths, hidden weaknesses, and tailor a strategy built around your dream schools and ideal major pathways.
We create a detailed admissions roadmap, laying out what needs to happen and when. From building academic and extracurricular narratives to structured essay timelines, our plan is designed for strategic growth and long-term admissions success. Leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence from past successful Ivy League applications, we generate hyper-specific roadmaps tailored to each student's strengths, goals, and evolving profile—ensuring every step is personalized and data-driven.
Together, we build and refine every piece of your application — activities, essays, and strategy. Our team provides clear guidance, insider feedback, and honest critiques every step of the way to ensure your application stands out from the rest.
Before submission, we conduct a comprehensive review to ensure every detail is airtight. For future-minded students, we also offer early access to SKYBound’s upcoming AI system — built to provide tailored, data-backed insights for long-term admissions success.

Our team is led by two Yale students who’ve successfully navigated the admissions process and are now dedicated to helping others do the same.

We don’t use a one-size-fits-all template. Every student gets a fully tailored plan, including major-specific strategies, impact development, and continuous feedback. We focus on identifying what truly makes a student stand out — and how to communicate that effectively.
We’re currently developing a powerful AI tool designed to analyze thousands of successful applications and generate personalized pathways by major and school. This system will launch in late 2025 and will be exclusively available to students currently working with SKYBound.
We work with students from all academic backgrounds and interests — from STEM and humanities to the arts and business. Our team knows how to develop high-impact profiles that align with a student’s intended major, no matter the field.
The earlier, the better. Ideally, we work with students as early as 9th or 10th grade to build a strong foundation — but we also support students in their senior year who need focused, rapid support to complete applications with excellence.
