What students and parents say
KESAVAN, STANFORD UNIVERSITY Academia Nut taught me how to be successful in an academic environment, how to seek exciting opportunities, and more importantly, how to be persistent, accept failures, and develop a work ethic to persevere toward a long-term goal. Apart from fostering my love of STEM and innovation, my counselor has pushed me constantly to make an impact in my local community, turning me into a more empathetic person.
PARENT OF ADMITTED OXFORD STUDENT As a parent of a current middle school student who recently went through the competitive application process for Oxford Academy, I cannot recommend Academia Nut highly enough. Navigating the rigorous requirements for such a highly ranked public high school in California can be daunting, but our counselor provided exceptional guidance and emotional support for my student every step of the way.
PARENT OF TWO ADMITTED USC STUDENTS As someone who also works in higher education, I am especially impressed by Academia Nut’s dedication to helping students pursue academic paths that align with their interests and aspirations. Their counselor's thoughtful guidance, encouragement, and genuine commitment to each student’s success are truly remarkable.
LISA, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY As a non-traditional student, I was challenged to craft a compelling story that would include both academic and personal details. My counselor helped me refine the specific weaknesses I had when writing on a personally traumatic topic, guiding me to frame my voice and story within the expectations and technical requirements of the school (Brown, Columbia)
LAUREN, YALE UNIVERSITY My counselor is meticulous in her work, intent on leaving no detail unexamined when it comes to her students’ potential. In advising me, she had a talent that the other counselors I worked with before her didn’t: keen insight into how someone’s interests and background could be weaved into a coherent, focused narrative.

NANCY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOL OF PHARMACY I became more confident in my application and felt that each pharmacy school was able to get a true representation of who I was, and why I wanted to be a pharmacist. In the end, I was offered 5 out of 5 interviews.
