Kingsman was founded by Yale grads Michael London and Eli Smith in order to drastically improve the college consulting model.
Our Philosophy
Most firms leave the framing of an application to consultants who have never sat on an admissions committee. At Kingsman, every student works with both a peer mentor who lived the experience and a former admissions officer who read files from the other side of the table — and the admissions officer weighs in on how the application is framed, not just how it's polished.
We don't stop at “good enough.” We develop a passion project with every student, place students into research programs, and push their work toward real, independent recognition — publications, conference presentations, press coverage, and organizations that put it to use. By the time an application is submitted, every part of it has been made as strong as it can be.
Over the years, we've built a network that most firms can't match: past Kingsman students, past parents, and current students at the schools our students are aiming for. We put that network to work for every student — opening doors, making introductions, and offering perspective that only people on the inside can give.
