ALEEYA KHAN M.Arch. Columbia GSAPP

Aleeya began working with ASR as a senior international urban studies student at NYU. Her program’s limited exposure to design and concept development made it hard for her to imagine herself being competitive enough to attend any of the top architecture programs. After joining ASR, and through a lot of hard work, she managed to overcome some very tough obstacles, and gain admission to Schools like Pratt, RISD and Columbia GSAPP. She ended up deciding to go to Columbia.

ROLLIN WALTHER, B.Arch., Cooper Union

Rollin was already a student at Bennington college, when he decided to transfer to a B.Arch. program to study architecture. He worked with us in the Fall of 2017. We helped Rollin develop an initial differentiation strategy based on his multifaceted background, which brought lots of areas together and made sense of them by collaging their essences. Rollin’s Portfolio became a collage of stories of people he admired, like Miles Davis, Piranesi, Franz Kafka and others. He was accepted to almost all schools he appied to, including Pratt, RISD and Cooper Union. He chose to attend Cooper Union.

TOMAS ESPINOS B.Arch. USC

Tomas began working with us in the Fall of 2014, when he was a High School senior in New York. He brought with him a rich, multi-cultural background, a passion for art and design, as well as a unique talent for drawing and self-expressive use of mixed design media. Through an initial evaluation process, we managed to help Tomas not only differentiate himself, but discover how he fit in the competitive landscape of the academic architectural world. Tomas gained admission to most of the architecture schools that he applied to, including USC School of Architecture, which he decided to attend.
