The University Peak Core Values
Engage Intellectually
We create intense, well-thought strategies for admission. We do this through comprehensive 360-degree evaluations of each student’s strengths, weaknesses, unique personality, and goals. We take the fear out of college admissions by creating a well-crafted plan for each student. The goal is to drive students to their fullest potential through actionable goals, and ultimately create a compelling case for admission at the schools that are the best-fit for their individual needs and goals.
Drive Excellent Results
Excellence is a daily habit. This core belief constitutes the very fabric of the identity of University Peak’s founders. We strive to be on the forefront of competitive admissions by developing meaningful insights, effective strategies, and powerful results. We believe that we must model excellence in our lives and business practices to set positive examples for our students. Our value on excellence directly benefits students and families, as we propel them to achieve excellent results.
Embrace Individuality & Search Deeper
Every student is unique. We believe that we must get to know each student as an individual in order to create truly effective strategies for admission. We first try to understand, then we strategize together, and lastly we execute. We also believe that individuals evolve over time. Hence, we regularly reevaluate each person’s strategy to help ensure that it is aligned with their goals. ​
Foster Fun & Inspiration
College preparation is an intense ride, and it can be enjoyable. We seek to inspire students to achieve their fullest potential through the strategic selection of meaningful activities and courses. We do this by bringing out the best in students, and equipping them and their families with the tools and guidance they need to achieve their goals. The enjoyable process helps to motivate students towards their goals with increased passion and confidence.
Respect and Communicate With One Another
The process of preparing for college admissions can be a positive experience for everyone involved. We believe that the best outcomes come from mutual respect and clear communication. Our powerful strategies are based on up-to-date admission policies, honest feedback, respect for individual differences, and open dialogues about concerns and goals.
Lead With Integrity
Integrity is at the core of our values. We believe that students and families require honest feedback, sincere guidance, and reliable service in order to achieve excellent results. Our reputation is built on the trust that we have earned in our clients.
Provide Exceptional Value
We offer exceptional services through several pricing options, from our online course to one-on-one services. We believe that the selective use of technology increases the effectiveness of our personalized services. We base our services on personalized attention, and use modern technology to enhance our offerings. Students and families can choose between in-person and online services. Our team communicates with students and families through in-person meetings, video conferencing, phone calls, email, and chat. Our students have access to an online library of constantly updated materials. This is one of the reasons that our services are an exceptional value. With less commute time, we are able to spend more time on the individual student. The hybrid of technology and in-person services reduces the overhead costs of running the business. We pass on those savings to our customers.
Build a Positive Team & Family Spirit
A successful business starts from within. A strong and happy team fosters collaboration, focused goals, and overall growth. When our clients work with us, they benefit from our strong leadership and cohesiveness.

I always recommend University Peak whenever I can. You’ve worked with our family for years, and you did a great job with our two older kids. You helped strengthen their confidence and sharpen their focus. You taught both of them how to get into the schools that were a great fit for each of them. They each enjoyed their time with you. You provided a phenomenal experience, and I tell all my friends who have kids in high school about you whenever the topic comes up. XXXX and XXXX are both very happy in college right now. An added benefit for me is they ended up in the same city, so it is very easy for my husband and me to visit them while they’re in school. Without a doubt, I know you will help our third kid in the same way when the time comes.

I just got my last acceptance email. Drumroll….. I got in!!!! Can you believe it? I got into all of the colleges that I applied to — just like you. Maybe now, I can be like you when I grow up. Ha, just kidding. In all seriousness, thanks for everything. You have no idea how much your guidance meant to me.

Your program is the best in every possible way. There is nothing I wish you had done differently with XXXX. The time and dedication that you provided him was extraordinary. He received so much personalized attention from you every step of the college application process. He trusted you and felt very comfortable with you, and I saw that in how he talked about you. As parents, it was a relief that he was able to find trust in somebody we trusted, because he rarely opens up to us anymore. We were pleased with his college list and the entire application process. And of course, we’re thrilled of where he decided to go. Other counselors only offered a third (at most!) of what you offered, and their programs seemed much more cookie-cutter, much less personalized. We are certain we made the right decision with you, and you can be sure I will recommend you whenever I can to our friends.

My husband and I want to thank you for everything you have done for XXXX. Before he met you, he was always a good student but just seemed to be going through the motions. Since last year, I have seen XXXX grow in determination and confidence about what he needs to do for college. He has taken on new projects in his community, and he loves trying new things now. I know his increased drive is a direct result of his time with you. You gave him the tools he needed to set goals for himself, and you helped him achieve those goals by guiding him every step of the way. His essays were fantastic. You brought out the best in him, and his applications reflected that. You were exactly what we were looking for, and I would come back to you again and again.

Thank you! With your help XXXX was accepted at Pomona as Early Decision 1. It is the perfect fit for XXXX. Smart kids. Laid back. 8-1 student teacher ratio. The School consortium means there are so many class options and 6-thousand students combined, and of course that California weather. Your assistance was essential in helping prepare the materials needed for application. This is a life changing moment for XXXX. I am so thankful and appreciative of your support these past two years. Thank you!
