Our Vision
Persimmons Admissions was founded by a Harvard graduate with nearly a decade of experience guiding students to top American universities.
Our vision is to help students gain admission to schools where they can thrive academically and personally.
We believe powerful essays come from a blend of authenticity and strategy, turning each student’s story into a clear path toward success.
Why Persimmon?
After working for some of the world's top admissions consulting companies, we noticed some concerning trends.
Many of these companies use ChatGPT to write student essays. Why pay thousands for a service you can do yourself? At Persimmon, each essay is edited directly by one of the world's top college essay editors, so you never have to worry about AI or plagiarism.
Moreover, these companies often lie about students' accomplishments and personalities, which can lead to expulsion from colleges as well as legal consequences, like when a Yale student was expelled in 2025 for false application information. At Persimmon, we work directly with students to ensure they not only get in, but they get in as their authentic selves.
