Gen and Kelly Tanabe are nationally recognized experts in every facet of the college application process.

I recently applied to Cornell University. I read your book from cover to back, wrote an essay about “Snorkeling in Okinawa” (which most people criticized), and got ACCEPTED to Cornell. Thank you very much for your help, and I’ll be sure to refer this book to anyone applying to college.” —Jason Clemmey “If you’re struggling with your essays, the Tanabes offer some encouragement.” —College Bound Magazine
