Engineering College Counselor| Aerospace Researcher

Vince S.

I specialize in helping students navigate competitive college admissions, particularly for STEM and engineering pathways. My background is in advanced mathematics and engineering-focused coursework, and I have spent several years applying these subjects through research projects, technical competitions, independent study, and leadership roles. Through these experiences, I developed a strong understanding of how rigorous STEM preparation, meaningful extracurricular projects, and strategic planning can strengthen a student’s academic profile and position them for admission to top engineering programs.

Over the past several years I have worked with students through one-on-one mentorship to help them strengthen their academic profiles and prepare for college applications in fields such as aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and general engineering. I work with students from middle school through high school, particularly those seeking opportunities in STEM or preparing for competitive universities. My own college admissions experience includes acceptance to highly selective engineering programs such as MIT, Caltech, Berkeley, USC, UT Austin, Georgia Tech, the University of Michigan, and Purdue, which has given me firsthand insight into what competitive engineering applicants look like.

My approach to college counseling focuses on clarity, structure, and long-term planning. I help students break down complex goals into manageable steps, whether that involves building a stronger academic foundation, developing meaningful projects, or planning extracurricular activities that align with their interests. My goal is to help students become confident, strategic thinkers while building the academic and personal foundations that support long-term success.
