A Boutique, High-Touch Approach

What makes Mansoor different from other counselors is not just knowledge — but care, access, and strategy.

• He limits the number of students he works with.

• Every student receives tailored mentoring, not templates.

• Essays, personal statements, recommendations, portfolios, and interview preparation are all individually crafted.

• Parents are guided with transparency and clarity.

• Students grow — personally, academically, and professionally.

His counseling is not about applying to universities — it is about shaping futures.
