I know how you feel...
Your days are jam-packed with challenging classes and extracurriculars, and now you’ve gotta apply to college on top of that , you’ve got a ton of pressure to get into college and make yourself and your family proud, but honestly… you just have no idea how ., you’ve tried drafting your college essays, but every time they just sound so… bland . and how the heck do you convey your entire story in just 650 words , you have no clue where to begin , so you procrastinate even starting., you’re beginning to think that you just aren’t unique enough to get into your dream schools., your mind is swirling with questions, but you’ve got no one to answer them., how do i avoid sounding cliché and instead stand out, do i really have to sell my pain as a “sob story” to get into college that feels icky, how do i create college essays that feel authentic instead of braggy, and sooner or later…, you become trapped in a time-wasting cycle of scrapping and rewriting poor essay drafts., the stress increases, your well-being takes a toll, and college applications live on in your mind as literal h, e, double hockey sticks. (believe me, i’ve been there.).
Let's face it.
College admissions strategy is not taught in most high schools... yet it can literally make or break an application., let’s cut the rumors & misconceptions that float in the hallways, yeah, misconception #1, i don't have a unique story to tell., so you’re telling me you didn’t cure cancer or go through a seriously traumatic event, neither did i, and i got into every school i applied to everyone has a story to tell , no matter how big or how small. when you engage in deep self-reflection and use the right strategy , you can turn any story into a compelling college essay., sorry to break it to you, but gpa won’t set you apart., most students will have similar scores as you, but no one has your story . your college essays have the power to showcase the person behind the paper . with test-optional policies & the ai boom... now more than ever, top-tier universities want to see your personal values shine through in your essays, activities, and the rest of your application. you have admirable values & experiences. but no one will know how incredible you are unless you effectively articulate these qualities in the best way. admissions edge students get into their top schools because they use our strategy to build connections between their values, experiences, and interests throughout their entire application , misconception #2, i should focus all my time and energy on my grades., misconception #3, learning college admissions strategy isn't worth my time., with our proven process, you will actually save at least 3 hours a week., wait… really yup, this course is carefully designed to best utilize your time every step of the way., without proper strategy, you will find yourself….
- Wasting your time fumbling through tons of essay drafts you aren’t proud of.
- Feeling extremely stressed and scattered throughout the process.
- Submitting a mediocre application that fail to convey your true potential.
You can craft a winning college application in only 1 hour a day, and we'll show you how.
Your application is more than what you've done., it’s about how you strategically present your experiences and values to show the admissions committee who you are and your potential to succeed at their institution., how would it feel to submit a stand-out application that conveys the true you and gets accepted to your dream schools, 🤩 a sneak peek into your future…, 🔥 approach your college apps with expert strategy – feeling stress-free and having fun along the way, 🔥 complete your applications early – with extra time to cherish your friendships before splitting off in different directions., 🔥 get accepted to your top choice schools – with an application you can take pride in., 🔥 win $20,000+ in merit scholarships – by repurposing your powerful essays., 🔥 experience transformative growth – with a stronger sense of identity, values, and confidence.
^ This could be you!!
I’ve helped students around the world achieve exactly this. and i can’t wait to show you how too..
But first, have we met?
Hey there, i'm dyllen 👋, when i applied to college in 2018, i had big dreams of getting into top colleges, but i had no idea how . my parents weren’t familiar with the competitive college admissions landscape and i noticed a lack of guidance at my high school . (anyone relate) but after educating myself on the ins and outs of the college application process and developing my own strategy... i was accepted into every school i applied to including stanford, usc, ucla, nyu, and more. most importantly, i experienced an incredible journey of self-discovery, becoming more grounded in my values and identity than ever before..
Even with my success, I was still *super stressed* throughout the process.
I spent so many months sifting through millions of random resources to figure out the strategy to get into my top schools... ...that i didn’t have a comfortable amount of time to best implement what i had learned..
I’ve made the mistakes, put in the work, and felt the stress so YOU don’t have to.
I have taken everything i’ve learned from….
- Years of coaching thousands of students across the world to successfully get into Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, USC, and more!
- Getting into every school I applied to.
- Analyzing my Stanford admissions file to understand exactly what led to my acceptance.
- Writing and storytelling strategies I developed through coaching students and my coursework at Stanford University.
…to create the ultimate success system for stress-free college apps.
Maggie • California Harvard University
Through this course, i got into schools that i would never have fathomed getting into - schools with below 5% acceptance rates . it has truly been a dream come true ., i loved how organized this entire course is and how easy it makes it for students to craft meaningful essays while also being authentic and truthful to who they are. this course allowed me to learn a lot about myself , and in turn, teach those reading my essays who i am as well..
Julie • California Columbia University
This course was like taking a bubble bath when there's a zombie apocalypse outside your door., the college application process was super stressful and scary, but dyllen made it easy to step back and get to the root of my problems . her course was super helpful because she identified specific things people did to make their essays impactful and impressive and made it easy to apply those methods to your own work . dyllen broke down the structure and made it easy to pinpoint the most interesting things about me and figure out what to write about. i have friends starting the application process, and i'm recommending (aggressively pushing) this course to them., introducing..., the admissions edge, the program for high-achieving applicants to create standout a college application that gains acceptance to your dream schools, wins $20,000+ in scholarships, and conveys the true you..
Winner of the OZY Genius Award • Sponsored by Chevrolet
This course was 1 of 10 projects chosen out of thousands of applicants to receive funding and mentorship from industry experts..
This course helped me feel really confident about creating an outline and drafting my essays with all these examples that showed me how to put together all of my ideas.
Before the program, i felt like i was getting a ton of advice thrown at me, but had no examples or stories to prove that all this advice worked or how to put it all together. but what really helped me was reading the example essays in the course and seeing the breakdown of how admissions officers would interpret each part of the essay ..
Dyllen pushed my son beyond anything I would've thought possible.
My son learned more about writing in the two weeks between christmas and the new year than in his 4 years of school i only wish that we had found dyllen a year earlier. she went out of her way to be encouraging with rough love and pushed my son beyond anything i would've thought possible., hudson's parent • california university of southern california, it's truly the complete success system., take a sneak peek inside the admissions edge.

Abraham • california ucla, i never imagined i could craft the quality of essays necessary to be admitted to some of the country’s most competitive and high-ranked universities., this program was invaluable in my journey to craft the best college application essays possible . like most, the college application and essay writing process initially felt daunting and intimidating. but after enrolling in the admissions edge and completing the workbook, i understood more about who i was and the personal values and stories i wanted to convey throughout my college application essays . the step-by-step workbook allowed me to break the process down into more manageable pieces to which i could better fine-tune the details and be less stressed . everything is methodically well-planned and detailed. dyllen also has an incredible team of editors whom i had the privilege to work with. they provided constructive and detailed feedback that allowed my essays to improve with each new draft. as a result, i was admitted into some of my top choices, including berkeley & ucla , and i am certain that i could not have done it without dyllen and the admissions edge..

It was definitely worth it i would recommend it, the course helped me so much throughout my college application process. it really allowed me to add structure to the process and identify what i needed to work on . the workbook was amazing at helping me organize my ideas and evaluate what i truly wanted to convey in my essays . the videos and curriculum integrated into the course really helped me tell my story and be proud of my writing., this course is perfect for you if..., you value a streamlined process over information overload., noise on the internet can be anxiety-provoking. don't waste time trying to sift through the mess. there's so many random resources out there and it's hard to pick apart just the "good stuff". this course walks you through everything you need , in the order you need it with every strategy i teach, i explain why you need it, how it will impact admissions officers , and the consequences of not doing it. you will learn how to achieve each strategy with actionable steps and specific examples ., you believe in becoming a smarter, more confident version of yourself., this isn't just a college admissions course, it's a journey toward self-discovery. in order for admissions officers to recognize your personal values, you need to identify them for yourself. the course includes brainstorming & structuring exercises – you won't find anywhere else – to help you analyze your experiences, identity, and emotions . i will teach you to embrace vulnerability while practicing self-compassion ., you believe problems should be solved with empathy., this course is designed with empathy . it includes exercises and advice to boost your motivation , support your well-being , and foster a growth mindset. stop comparing yourself to others and focus on building your best application.
I discovered my strengths, themes, and learned how to build connections between my experiences!
Before using dyllen's resources, my essay ideas were scattered and i struggled to find themes. using the program, i discovered my strengths and how they connected to experiences and relationships i had . that helped me form cohesive stories that highlighted my creativity, perseverance, and successes . i realized how valuable it was to dig deep in my past, uncovering hobbies, relationships, and challenges throughout my life, in the brainstorming exercises that dyllen provided. i also realized that tying several, what seemed like unrelated topics together was possible and helpful . i felt so relieved after using dyllen's program and talking with her over zoom calls. dyllen's prompts and structure made writing the essays so much easier, and actually fun her instructions to use timelines helped me stay on track . overall, her program made this daunting process doable way less stressful . i am so grateful, sunny • california university of california san diego, don't pay more for a school you don't even want to attend..., which option do you choose.

I really loved the course because of how much it built my confidence and readiness for the essays. I initially felt unsure if I could write a standout essay to get into my reach school, because of how different the college essays were from what they teach us here in Nigeria. But with the course I learned how to use anecdotes and I believe I created a fantastic starting. The course also helped me in structuring my essay and knowing which parts I should emphasize, which was very important to me.
Oseremhen • nigeria vanderbilt university.
I'm going to UCLA!! Honestly, I absolutely LOVED IT !!! This program was extremely helpful in helping me organize my college list and most definitely helped me figure out which values and qualities I wanted to highlight in my essays. It was also really colorful and aesthetically pleasing.
Khushi • jamaica university of california los angeles.
I absolutely loved your course! I was so worried about the application process because I had no idea how to write a college essay, and then enrolled in your course and it helped so much and made organizing and brainstorming essays so easy . I loved your words of encouragement and humor throughout the course and it felt really personal . I am so grateful for your program and all your advice that helped me get into all 6 schools that I applied to!
I liked how relatable this course was , being able to see that Dyllen had the same writing struggles I had gave me more reassurance . This course provided many essay examples that were highlighted and broken down, it taught me how to effectively write a compelling story , or as Dyllen calls it “a window into our complex lives”. Also, I appreciate that she goes above and beyond to make taking this course as equitable as possible for more students through scholarships, YouTube videos, and free introductory sessions. I hope more school districts can provide this amazing course to build more confidence in students’ story writing abilities as it did for me.
A BIG thank you for creating this course. It has helped me become more comfortable with sitting myself down and learning more about myself. I feel more connected and in-tune with myself now that I have completed the admissions process. The "things I feel vulnerable about" part honestly brought me to tears. It’s helping me become more comfortable with facing things that I otherwise buried deep. VERY thorough instructions and doesn't feel like work when solving the workbook. Thank you Dyllen!
College applications are difficult, especially when you have no one to guide you through the process and lack exposure to information. But Dyllen's course against all odds helped me to create a tangible essay draft; not just one essay, but all of my college essays . Essays that spoke my mind and soul. Essays that I would never dare to write without her help. Dyllen, I am so grateful you are helping many disadvantaged and less fortunate high school students like me in many countries. Your work is a true masterpiece.
This course was a lifesaver during college apps. It was incredibly helpful in providing examples of successful essays from students who got into a lot of the schools I applied to. Every example was analyzed line by line which made it easier for me to view my own essay objectively while writing and editing (Dyllen is also a great editor)! Another helpful thing is the list of overused phrases . Hearing from someone who has read a ton of essays tell you what won't stand out was SO HELPFUL and I definitely caught myself trying to use some of those phrases. This course is helpful no matter what step of the essay writing process you're on and helped relieve a lot of stress for me!
Dyllen!!! I just want to say you have been BY FAR the MOST helpful resource I've gotten throughout this college process . Like you, I didn't come from a family with money to pay for a college counselor, and I've spent months and months researching on my own. I was at the tail end of submitting my applications when I discovered your course and it has helped me really dig into my values to create essays that speak to me . I am 100% recommending your course to my younger sister who has a few years before she starts this process. So much love for you girl <3

As a low-income and international student , I struggled with all the application and essay writing process since day one. I was not used to talking about myself through words and I didn't know if my story was impactful, nor if it was worth sharing. But being a recipient of a scholarship to enroll in this course was extremely helpful. I learned to brainstorm, choose my topics strategically, construct my ideas, analyze the impact on me and others, and create an essay that portraits my voice. Dyllen was amazing by giving free resources and creating this course. I appreciate all the time invested in this huge project and hopefully, it will continue to grow to help other students as it helped me .
