It all started
with a competition.
I read local newspapers every weekend and listened to BBC World News every morning before school.
And my plans changed:
Instead of going to medical school right after leaving high school, I wanted to go see as much of the world as I possibly could, and then use my education to make a lasting impact on it.
With the help of an admissions consultant-turned-mentor, I got into Bates, a small liberal arts college in Maine.
Me turning down my med school admission did not sit well with my mother (we didn’t speak during our long car ride from New York to Maine), but I felt strongly that a broad, world-class undergraduate education was what would make me happy.
After graduating Bates, I earned master’s degrees from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and Mailman School of Public Health.
During grad school, I lived in student housing with peers attending universities all across New York.
Word got out that “Shawna-Kaye can help you with your application.”
When the demand got too much to be giving away my time, I started to charge for my services.
Now?
I help ambitious college, graduate school, and medical residency applicants stand out in a sea of competition and get into their dream schools and programs–so they can use their education to impact the world in the way they want to, and create a legacy they’re proud of.
