Daniel Kang
About Me - Daniel Kang
I didn't grow up with connections, counselors, or college coaches. I grew up in a two-bedroom apartment in Guam, in a financially unstable household, with parents who filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and zero exposure to elite academic institutions. There was no blueprint — so I built my own.
I just knew what colleges wanted to see, and in the most difficult admissions cycle, I was able to gain admission to Stanford and Ivy League schools like Yale on full ride scholarships totaling $1,000,000+ in the hardest admissions cycle yet. Experienced in various admission portals and approaching college admissions through a unique thematic lens, I have personally admitted kids into UPenn Wharton and other prestigious Ivy Leagues before even applying to university myself.
That experience didn't just change my life — it shaped my mission.
Today, I lead Kang Consulting, a personalized research and college admissions practice built entirely through referrals and student success. I've helped students from all backgrounds — from underserved communities to international Olympiad winners — gain admission into Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, and Princeton, and win top honors at ISEF, Regeneron STS, and other elite global research competitions.
My Students Have Gone In To:
- Win Best of Category and Grand Awards at ISEF
- Become Regeneron STS Finalists and Scholars
- Be admitted to MIT PRIMES, RSI, Stanford Pre-Collegiate, and UPenn M&TSI
- Publish papers, file patents, and lead award-winning initiatives
- Be admitted to HYPSM, many with full rides and likely letters <1% admit rate.
Before starting my own firm, I consulted with Squired and Red Ink Review, guiding students globally through high-stakes essays and strategy, always with a focus on clarity, authenticity, and storytelling that resonates.
I believe talent is everywhere — but opportunity isn't. That's why I do what I do.
Whether you're a future ISEF finalist or someone still discovering your spark, my goal is to be the mentor I never had — and help you become the version of yourself that the world can't ignore.

About Me - Andrew Kang
I'd like to show you where I'm different, as Daniel Kang's little brother: how I see myself as an outlier in college admissions. I wasn't a cookie-cutter applicant, like most HYPSM admits or even my brother. I didn't have a perfect 4.0 GPA, an amazing SAT/ACT score, an award like First at ISEF, or a recommendation letter from someone extremely distinguished.
I just knew what colleges wanted to see, and in the most difficult admissions cycle, I was able to gain admission to Stanford and Ivy League schools like Yale on full ride scholarships totaling $1,000,000+ in the hardest admissions cycle yet. Experienced in various admission portals and approaching college admissions through a unique thematic lens, I have personally admitted kids into UPenn Wharton and other prestigious Ivy Leagues before even applying to university myself.
By navigating colleges from a low-income household, growing up with a brother who was a STEM whiz having a planet named after him from MIT in highschool, I had to chart my own path interning at the National Institute of Health (NIH), pursuing field oriented marine biology research and even pursuing novel extracurriculars like translating Korean webtoon.
My Stanford admissions officer quoted my creative writing ability expressing that she was "absolutely blown away" and I'm ready to help you get glowing impressions from admissions readers, helping you every step throughout the entire college application process.
My brother and I now both plan to make your dreams come true and boost you to new heights in career prospects and into Ivy League education.
I will personally aid you in the most prestigious extracurriculars in STEM competitions like Regeneron ISEF, help in navigating non-STEM approaches for college admissions, and tailor your extracurriculars and essays for your dream schools. Hopefully, I'll be the make or break as you apply to your wanted institution.

Hear From Our Students
Real stories from students who've experienced transformative results through our mentorship programs.
I didn't know much about summer programs and was about to apply to an expensive pre-collegiate one before I found Daniel. He completely changed my perspective. Even though I was late to the game as a junior, he introduced me to top-tier programs like RSI, SSP, and M&TSI. I had no clue how to approach the M&TSI application — but after just a few sessions with Daniel, I crafted a strong essay and video… and got in! He's genuinely the GOAT for this stuff.
