Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the questions we get asked the most about college admissions—so you don’t have to wait.
How do I work with AdmissionSight?
At AdmissionSight, there are two pathways toward working us: the standard pathway via the Senior Editor College Application Program, or the Private Consulting Program.
In the standard pathway, we start with a 1.5-2 hour Academic and Extracurricular Profile Evaluation where the student gains time-tested strategies on how to boost their raw profile to the admissions committee. After the evaluation, the student may engage with us with help on on any of the action items including but not limited to: summer program applications, SAT/AP tutoring, Olympiad training, humanities and writing competitions, or our 12-week Science Research Program. In the senior year, the student works with us on college applications in the Senior Editor College Application Program.
In the Private Consulting Program, the student will work directly with the founder and private college admissions consultant Eric Eng on how to navigate the college admissions process. We meet monthly for our consultations over Zoom to strategize ways to improve the student’s academic and extracurricular standing as well as unlimited email correspondences. In addition, Eric Eng will edit all essay drafts of summer program applications and college applications during the student’s senior year. Finally, Eric Eng edit papers to scientific research and humanities based competitions.Â
At AdmissionSight, we are experts who understand you, your needs and your strengths and weaknesses, which ensures not only your success but a comfortable working environment throughout the application process.
What is your process like?
For earlier grades such as freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, our process involves mapping out a strategic academic and extracurricular roadmap for the student to enhance their “raw profile or stats”. In addition, we assist with applications to highly competitive summer programs, SAT/AP tutoring, Olympiad training, humanities based competitions, published science research and science fairs, and proprietary admissions strategy to help you stand out. Students who start with us earlier tend to perform better overall in the college admissions process, ramping up their academic and extracurricular profile before it’s too late.
The senior year is the most involved as we begin work on the college application itself – the personal statements, supplemental essays, common application review, recommendation letters, interviews, and supplemental material. At AdmissionSight, we ensure the student crafts together spellbinding college essays and may add supplementary material on top of the application to give the student an edge in the process. This has always been the heart of our process.
We work with our students through Zoom, phone consultations, and email and have clients throughout the country as well as internationally in Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, India, and many others. Please send an email to [email protected] or reach out through the contact form for more information about our program.

What is your success rate?
Our success rate is unprecedented. On average, our clients with 3.9+ unweighted GPA, 1550+ SAT, and 4’s or 5’s on at least 5 AP exams have been accepted to at least an Ivy League or top university. On average, roughly 75% of our students were accepted to Ivy League or top 10 universities. Nearly 98% of our students have been accepted to one of their top choice schools. While this is by no means guaranteed, this type of acceptance rate is unprecedented.
For students who don’t meet this criteria academically, we will evaluate your profile on a case by case basis. We will help you develop your non-profit leadership organization, engage in passion projects and extracurriculars to help you stand out, and craft together a powerful narrative that will impress admissions officers to get you that acceptance letter.
What makes AdmissionSight different from other college admissions consulting services?
At AdmissionSight, we’ll work closely with you to build an Ivy League/Stanford caliber academic and extracurricular profile, and present a powerful application to get that acceptance letter. Writing stellar application essays can get a weaker student in the door, and it could also keep a strong student out. We’re experts in this regard – crafting the most compelling essays and applications to ensure your success. Nothing short of perfection is expected. In short, we’ve mastered the college applications.
We’re surgical in our approach and extremely detail-oriented in our process. There is no fluff involved. With admission rates dropping to all time lows, that’s the only way we can succeed. We love to work with students who are driven and desire success. When it comes to the college admissions process, we’re confident that our students can compete against the country’s best and brightest. Our only criteria to work with us: hard work and motivation.
At the end of the day, you’re only as good as you are on paper, aka the college applications. And we make sure that 12 pieces of paper create such a powerful impression on the admissions officers that they will have no choice but to admit you.Â
Trust us. Our results speak for themselves.
