We help students develop time management skills, discover enriching experiences, and cultivate their passions. With each of our unique services, ranging from essay coaching to high school mentorship, we provide students with powerful tools to minimize stress while achieving maximum success.

We tailor our services to each individual student. Whether you’re looking for a single essay critique or comprehensive guidance through the entire admissions process, we’ll work with you to design a plan that suits your needs.

Zen Admissions empowers students around the world to click the "submit" button with confidence and begin their first year of college enthusiastic and energized.
