I built a company to help Wild Cards because I am one.
☝️ I’m a first-generation professional. While my parents attended college on scholarships, I’m the first generation with a professional degree in my family.
✏️ I am not a great test-taker. Despite earning a 620 on the GMAT, I devised a strategy that secured my admission to Harvard. This approach is now a system we offer to clients without top GPAs or test scores.
🧠 My brain works differently than most people’s. 🧠 I was diagnosed with ADHD at 38, prompted by observing similarities I share with many clients at The Art of Applying. Understanding ADHD in high achievers has enhanced our client support, creating strategies and tools that help those with ADHD and/or applicants with tendencies toward distraction, overwhelm, and hyperfocus.

My Story
Greetings! I’m Kaneisha Grayson, founder of The Art of Applying®.
My journey wasn’t straightforward. I was raised in Texas in a low-income neighborhood with a high teen pregnancy rate, and my parents grew up as migrant farmworkers in Florida.
Against the odds, I graduated from Pomona College with a BA in Black Studies. Discovering my knack for helping my classmates with their grad school applications, I utilized this skill for my admissions into Harvard.
However, even with my talent, I accrued $150,000 in student debt. Driven by my passion for writing, storytelling, and coaching, I pitched the idea of The Art of Applying® to the HBS Entrepreneurship Center and secured a $10,000 grant to start this business.
Since launching in 2010, The Art of Applying® has grown from a solo venture to a global enterprise, aiding 1000+ clients to secure admissions with optimal funding.
My diverse, highly accomplished team of consultants were applicants just like you. We are dedicated to assisting nontraditional and underrepresented applicants in achieving their academic dreams
Life-Changing Results for Our Clients
I knew I needed a little bit more help in terms of crafting my story and getting my voice out there…in a way that I just couldn’t be turned down…I knew that on the raw number [alone] it wasn’t going to happen.
LaTisha, admitted to Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
I applied [on my own] to three schools but didn’t get in any of them, including my dream school, which is Harvard. This time around, I just didn’t want to take no for an answer. So, I worked with The Art of Applying. I applied to 10 schools, and so far I interviewed with 7 of them. Of all the places I’ve interviewed, I’ve been offered admissions at six, including my dream school, which is Harvard.
Soltan, admitted to Harvard Business School
I made the decision to apply, to do it in the best possible way and I think it became a little easier knowing that I’m making such a big investment. This investment you’re making to work with The Art of Applying® will probably come back to you in double, triple returns and that happened for me.
