Elite AdmissionsMentorshipMaia Lopin

Growing up across Asia gave me a global perspective that continues to shape the way I see education. Experiencing different cultures and school systems taught me that excellence has many forms, and that the key to opportunity lies in how a student's story is shared. Now at Stanford, I use this background to bridge the gap between ambitious international families and elite global universities.

The difference between admission and rejection often comes down to strategy, timing, and knowing exactly what admissions committees are looking for. In today's hyper-competitive landscape, thousands of talented students with exceptional credentials still face rejection—not because they lack potential, but because they lack the insider knowledge and strategic positioning that separates accepted candidates from the rest.

My approach combines deep knowledge of admissions processes with personalized strategy development. I understand the unique challenges of presenting an authentic story across cultural boundaries, and I work closely with families to identify strengths, address challenges, and create compelling applications that stand out in highly competitive pools.
