Who I Am
Hussein Abdou
Founder & Guide
I'm a current NYU Stern student who went through the full US application process recently — not just the Common App, but the essays, the strategy, and everything in between.
I'm not a professional counselor. I'm someone who lived this process recently and gives honest, experience-based guidance — the kind I wish I had when I was drafting my own essays at midnight, second-guessing every sentence.
Your words stay yours. I just help you find the ones that matter.
