Andrew Kang

Andrew Kang is a Stanford University freshman from Guam and the co-founder of Kang Consulting, where his approach to college admissions is grounded in strategy, storytelling, and context rather than surface-level metrics, mentoring students with deep insight. Without a perfect GPA, ultra-high standardized test scores, or elite recommenders, Andrew focused on understanding what admissions officers actually value—intellectual direction, coherence, and narrative strength. In the most competitive admissions cycle to date, this led to his admission to Stanford, Yale, UPenn, Duke, USC, and other top universities, alongside full-ride scholarship offers totaling over $1,000,000, including admission to Washington University in St. Louis without applying.

Even before entering college himself, Andrew helped students gain admission to programs such as UPenn Wharton, mentored researchers to win ISEF grand awards and over $100,000 in scholarship special awards, and guided students through highly competitive research and debate pathways. A published researcher and former NIH intern, Regeneron ISEF NOAA Special Award recipient, national STEM and debate champion, and experienced mentor across multiple admissions portals, Andrew specializes in helping students with nontraditional or uneven profiles craft compelling, high-impact applications that reflect both ambition and authenticity.
