About Me

Seiya Shirabe is a College Admissions Coach at Prepory, where the team — made up of former admissions officers, former faculty, and graduates of top universities — is known for pairing strong credentials with a genuinely personal coaching style.

Favorite supplemental essay prompt: Stanford University's "Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate — and us — get to know you better"

Fun fact: I perform Taiko, Traditional Japanese Drumming.

Seiya's advice for students: "Your whole profile needs to be cohesive. The college admissions officers should be able to know your interests from every part."
