Two engagement options. Both deliberately structured for serious families. Both begin with a discovery call so we understand each other before either side commits.
Full Application Advisory — $10,000
A complete partnership through the application cycle. We begin with a strategic intake: school list, narrative arc, application calendar, and a candid read on fit. From there, the work is hands-on — essay development through multiple rounds of revision, supplemental strategy, interview preparation, and submission review.
Right for families whose student is applying to selective universities and who are prepared to invest in doing the process well. Engagement runs through the full cycle. Limited to a small number of students per year.
What’s included:
- Discovery call and strategic intake
- School list development and target refinement
- Personal statement and supplemental essay work — multiple revision rounds
- Application architecture and timeline
- Interview preparation
- Submission review
Essay Review — $2,000
A focused engagement for families who want serious editorial attention on essays already in progress. Not a write-for-you service — we work with the student so the writing remains theirs, sharper than before. The voice has to be theirs; my role is to surface it.
Right for students who have drafts in hand and need principled review before submission.
What’s included:
- Initial reading and editorial assessment
- Two rounds of substantive revision feedback
- Final read before submission
Both engagements
- Yahya works with every student personally — no associates, no handoff
- Discovery call required for fit before either engagement is offered
- Limited capacity per cycle; engagements are accepted on a first-fit-first-served basis
Selective admissions reward families who treat the work seriously. If that is how your family approaches this, we should talk.
