About the Founder

I've been exactly
where you are.

I applied to 15 universities across the UC, CSU, and Common App systems — and got into all of them. Through my own admissions journey and years of reviewing essays, I've learned how thoughtful revisions can transform a good draft into a clearer, more compelling story.

I started Elevate Scholars Academy because I believe every student deserves access to thoughtful, personalized essay feedback—not just those who can afford expensive admissions consulting. Your story deserves to be told well.

The best college essays don't sound perfect. They sound authentic. - Aliya Roserie-Badal
