Expert insights from those who recently succeeded
Most college consulting firms are run by people far removed from today’s admissions process. We’re different.
We founded Trident Counseling in 2023 to offer the kind of guidance we wish we had: strategic, current, and proven. Since then, 90% of our students have been accepted to at least one Ivy League school.
Each student works with a team of three mentors from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—National Gold Medalists, ISEF finalists, Regeneron competitors, and alumni of elite programs like RSI and Clark Scholars.
From essay strategy to school-specific storytelling, we offer real-time insights grounded in firsthand experience. We understand what top universities are looking for because we’re there.
Whether you’re targeting the Ivy League or another elite institution, we don’t just offer guidance, we provide a blueprint from those who’ve made it in.
Let us help you get there too.
