As a first generation professional school student, I was a complete outsider to the process, but Ada gave me all the advantages of an insider. She was realistic and straightforward, but made sure that I realized my full potential. Coming into this process, I wanted to communicate my story and passion for service to the admissions officers. Ada helped me craft compelling essays that flawlessly told my story. She made sure that any factor that could enhance my application was included and perfected. I will be starting at Harvard in the fall and I can say without doubt that Ada was instrumental in achieving this result that I thought was out-of-reach and a dream.
