About ACM

Built on results. Driven by relationships.

Founded in Orange County, Academic & Career Mentors brings together former admissions officers, university advisors, and career strategists under one roof. We work one-on-one with families to demystify the admissions process and craft a clear path forward.

Our students attend UCLA, UC Berkeley, USC, Stanford, NYU, Columbia, and beyond — but more importantly, they land in the place that's right for them.
