Bio

Hi, I’m Ronnie, an admissions strategist, writing mentor, and co-founder of Admissions Intelligence. For 15 years I’ve helped students turn strong stats into unforgettable stories, guiding applicants toward T20 selective colleges.

Hi, I’m Ronnie, an admissions strategist, writing mentor, and co-founder of Admissions Intelligence. For 15 years I’ve helped students turn strong stats into unforgettable stories, guiding applicants toward T20 selective colleges. I worked in admissions for a top-tier liberal-arts school, where I learned exactly what makes an essay leap off the page.

My coaching style is equal parts story excavation and precise editing. We start by mapping the experiences that have shaped you, often the moments you overlook. From there, we build a clear through-line that threads your impact, values, and voice across the Common App personal statement, UC PIQs, or supplemental essays. Feedback comes in real time via Google Docs or Zoom markup, so every revision teaches you not just what to change but why it works.

Beyond essays, I advise on application strategy, activity lists, and interview prep, and I offer targeted ACT/SAT Reading & Writing sessions for students who want a unified verbal-skills plan. Whether you’re a first-gen applicant looking for guidance or a high-achiever aiming to stand out in a crowded pool, my goal is the same: help you tell a story admissions officers can’t forget, while keeping the process human, honest, and (believe it or not) fun.

If that sounds like the support you need, book an introductory hour and let’s get your story working as hard as your GPA.

I spent years in the admissions office of a highly selective liberal-arts college, reviewing thousands of applications. For the past 15 years, I’ve guided hundreds of students into T20 universities and other Top-50 schools by pairing insider evaluation criteria with story-driven coaching. My work spans strategic list building, impact-focused activity sections, and live, line-by-line essay edits in Google Docs. I am the founder of Admissions Intelligence, which focuses on data-driven support for college admissions, helping students of all backgrounds optimize their applications, and I am a member of NACAC, the National Association of College Admission Counselors.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

During my years as a selective college’s admissions officer I evaluated thousands of personal statements and supplemental essays, gaining an insider’s eye for what hooks readers fast. For the past 15 years I’ve coached students on Common App essays, UC PIQs, and scholarship prompts, guiding many into T20 and other top-50 schools. My process blends story-mining exercises with live, line-by-line edits in Google Docs so every change teaches craft, voice, and clarity. As the founder of Admissions Intelligence, I help writers, from first-gen applicants to high-achievers, turn drafts into memorable, admission-ready narratives.
