NEW YORK, NY, January 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- AtomicMind, the boutique education consulting firm specializing in elite college admissions, today announced exceptional early round outcomes for the 2025–2026 admissions cycle, reflecting the firm's commitment to helping students develop academically, creatively and personally.
In this year's early application rounds, AtomicMind achieved:
-- 100% accepted to Harvard University REA
-- 100% accepted to The University of Chicago ED
-- 100% accepted to Vanderbilt University ED
-- 90% accepted to Columbia University ED
These early results are the product of AtomicMind's deeply personalized, long-term approach, which focuses on helping students identify and cultivate their strengths, explore meaningful academic and extracurricular pursuits, and craft their narratives in ways that are interesting, authentic and original. Admissions outcomes emerge naturally from this careful development process.
Across all application rounds, 99% of AtomicMind students are admitted to one of their top three choice schools, demonstrating the effectiveness of aligning each student's interests, skills and goals with institutions they aspire to attend.
"We're a mission-driven organization. Our mission has always been to help students develop into curious, capable and confident scholar-leaders," said Leelila Strogov, Founder and CEO of AtomicMind and the AtomicMind Foundation. "When students are encouraged to challenge themselves to do hard things in meaningful ways, college admissions results naturally follow."
AtomicMind students receive one-on-one mentorship from experienced advisors and access to a team of more than 250 specialists, including former admissions officers, research mentors, published authors, academic competition medalists and creative professionals. Through original research, entrepreneurial ventures, creative portfolios and social impact initiatives, every element of a student's profile supports authentic development rather than just checking boxes.
"Our students don't just achieve outcomes; they flourish along the way," said Ernie Liang, President of AtomicMind. "We guide them to think critically and independently, take intellectual risks and pursue meaningful projects with enduring impact. The skills and poise they develop as a part of the process are what set them apart in the admissions process."
AtomicMind serves students and families navigating selective secondary schools, colleges and universities in the United States and the United Kingdom. The firm provides comprehensive support from elementary school through college and career launch. The AtomicMind Foundation offers pro bono mentorship to high-achieving high school juniors and seniors from low-income backgrounds in the U.S., helping them access elite colleges and scholarships.
