  • 20-minute video call, free
  • At least one parent joins
  • For grades 8 to 12

Your student has done everything right. So has everyone else applying.

Sound familiar?

  • Their grades and scores are strong, and you still can’t tell if it’s enough.
  • Every activity is solid. Not one stands out.
  • Half the advice you read online contradicts the other half.
  • BS/MD looks like the safer route, until you see how few seats each program has.
  • You’re not sure what to fix first: scores, activities, essays, or the school list.

None of this means your student isn’t strong enough. It means the application doesn’t yet show what makes them different from every other strong applicant. That’s fixable, and it’s easiest to fix early.

Where Atlas students end up

“We were confused about the admissions process for Tier 1 schools until we found Atlas. They took the time to truly understand our son’s personality and helped him shape his profile to align with his strengths.”
Archana, mother of a Duke admit

Nolan

Nolan came to us the summer before senior year with nothing written and the University of Michigan as his realistic target. In about three months we rebuilt his story, activities, and personal statement. He was admitted to Stanford and Yale, and he’s at Stanford now.

Saihithi

Saihithi worked with us on her BS/MD essays and MMI interview prep. She was admitted to six BS/MD programs, which let her choose her path: seven years or eight, programs that skip the MCAT, close to home or not. She’s now in VCU’s guaranteed admission program for medicine.

The program

If you work with Atlas

A Senior Admissions Strategist

Your student works one-on-one with a Strategist chosen for their intended field and target schools. Every Senior Admissions Strategist at Atlas graduated from a top-10 university or program.

The Roundtable Review

Before anything is submitted, our team of Senior Admissions Strategists reads and scores the whole application the way a real admissions committee would. Your student revises from that feedback, so the application is tested before it counts.

A plan from the founders

Every student’s strategy is set and signed off by Atlas’s founding team, Mehmet Tascioglu and Pratik Vangal. Your student’s Strategist works from that plan.

Every client agreement includes a first-month satisfaction policy. If your family isn’t happy after the first month, you can request a refund as outlined in the agreement.

Mehmet Tascioglu

Founder

Who you’ll talk to

Mehmet Tascioglu is the co-founder and CEO of Atlas. He studied engineering at Stanford and was also admitted to multiple BS/MD programs. He has personally supported more than 1,200 students through college admissions.

Most families I talk to have a well-rounded student and the same question: is their profile competitive enough? The answer usually sits in details nobody has looked at closely yet, like how the activities read, what the essays actually say, and whether the school list fits the student.

That’s what I look at on our call. I’ll tell you plainly where your student stands and what we should fix first. If we’re not the right fit, I’ll tell you that too.

Reviews

What families say

Atlas Education supported my son’s journey when applying to 23 schools, including those in the Ivy League. I was very impressed how they sent a weekly report and a clear timeline as the months progressed.
NingMom, Yale ’30
I’m so thankful for Atlas which helped my son secure admission to Yale University. Before approaching them senior year, we were unsure of how to approach the whole application let alone the essays. But through the biweekly calls and essay editing, they helped my son communicate his strengths and reach his potential.
Rohan’s parentYale ’29
Thank you to Mehmet and Atlas Education for helping me get into Stanford! Mehmet helped me a lot with: drafting my school list, preparing extracurriculars and honors, drafting my personal statements, getting strong letters of recommendations, and interview prep.
SusieStanford ’29
Last May, I was quite confused with how to start the essays, but Mehmet guided me by brainstorming each idea and writing a paragraph by paragraph outline that helped me really nail it.
LaurenDartmouth ’27
Atlas gave me specific programs to apply to and concrete actions to improve my profile, rather than generic advice or just confirming what I already thought.
ArnavDuke ’28
My counselor explained everything really well and had a set timeline that we followed which prevented last minute burnout and stress.
NicholasMIT ’28

Results depend on each student’s own work and circumstances. Atlas does not guarantee admission to any school.

FAQ

Questions families ask

Who is the Strategy Call for?

Families of students in grades 8 to 12 who are aiming for the Ivy League, other top universities, or BS/MD programs.

Is the call really free?

Yes. It’s 20 minutes with no cost and no obligation. You’ll leave knowing where your student stands, whether or not you work with us.

What happens on the call?

We look at where your student stands for their target schools, what’s most likely to hold the application back, and what it would take to close that gap before deadlines. If Atlas is the right fit, we’ll explain what working together looks like.

Should my student go the BS/MD route or aim for a top university?

It depends on the student, and it’s one of the most common questions families bring to the call. Mehmet made this exact choice himself, between BS/MD acceptances and Stanford. He’ll tell you which path fits your student, or whether to keep both options open.

How much does it cost to work with Atlas?

For juniors and seniors, most families invest between $8,000 and $15,000, depending on how much support your student needs. For younger students, Mehmet will walk you through what makes sense on the call.

What if it turns out not to be the right fit?

Our client agreement includes a first-month satisfaction policy. If your family isn’t happy after the first month, you can request a refund as outlined in the agreement.

Does a parent need to be on the call?

Yes. At least one parent needs to join, and we recommend both. The call covers decisions about the next year of your student’s life, and those are family decisions.

Is it too early for an 8th, 9th, or 10th grader?

No. Starting early gives a student the most room to build the activities and record top schools look for. Apply, and we’ll tell you honestly what makes sense for this year.

Is it too late for a senior?

No. Many families start with us in senior year. Apply, and Mehmet will tell you exactly where to focus with the time you have.

See where your student stands.

20 minutes. Free. At least one parent joins.
