Who We Are
We are a small, talented, experienced team under Edward Yaeger, who has been helping students get into top colleges and graduate schools for over a decade, first at Kaplan and now as the founder of Tip Top Admissions. Edward holds a BA from Columbia, an MBA from NYU Stern, an MPA from Harvard, and an MA from Northwestern. He also served as an undergraduate admissions student officer at Columbia, and, today, he is an active alumni representative for both Columbia and Harvard. **Read Edward's article on the Huffington Post on what to consider before matriculating.** Follow Edward on Twitter at @edwardyaeger. |

How We Work
We take an individualized approach depending on where the student is in the application process and on where the student is looking to apply. Ideally, the student would begin working with us later in the freshman year. This might seem premature, but the reality is that the student has only three years to not only excel academically but also to create a narrative that both stands out from the crowd and resonates among admissions officers. If a student comes to us in their senior year, for example, then they will be limited in their presentation as a candidate (i.e., what’s done is done); whereas, if they come to us freshman year, then we can begin to craft a profile that’s consistent, authentic, and compelling from the start, even (and especially) as the student matures throughout high school.
We assist students in everything from SAT/ACT-prep, to internship brainstorming, to college applications, to securing financial aid and scholarship opportunities.
