About the Founder

I've been exactly
where you are.

I applied to 14 universities across the UC, CSU, and Common App systems — and got into all of them. I know firsthand how overwhelming the essay process feels, and I know exactly what makes the difference between a forgettable draft and a standout story.

I founded Elevate Scholars Academy because no student should have to figure this out alone. Every session is 1-on-1, every piece of feedback is personal, and every student I work with leaves with essays they feel genuinely proud of.

My goal is simple: help you submit essays that sound like you — not like a template. Your story is worth telling well. - Aliya
