University of Pennsylvania Criminology
“Thanks to Seth, I was able to talk with a professor in this area when I was about to decide my application. The mentor chose very different majors during his several stages of studies. And he told me that instead of getting into top schools, it’s more critical to dig deep into one area. Then I made my decision and just focused on criminology programs. And I made it to UPenn, without compromising.”
USC Film & Television Production
“Seth encouraged me to apply for the topmost programs. No matter what is the result, I should always set my goal at the highest level. Also I learnt to lower my expectation but still try my best. It’s normal for me to get total rejection for the first year. But through this process, I got to know where I was and where I have to progress towards. Like for the second year, I improved my skill set and related experiences, then my products were much more mature.”
NYU Public Relations
“I wasn’t even aware that I’m quite good at and fond of writing. Without long-term, deep practicing, I would not feel so sure about my passion for PR work. First-hand observations of the field are critical for me to make decisions about my future. And thanks to Seth, I was able to stick to my passion and further explore my potential.”
USC Journalism
“I got the mentorship from in-maginative, which is so powerful for me to overcome the fear to go for Reuters internships and to finally focus on my application after the toughest break up I've ever had. This is life coaching and is especially invaluable. It feels so great to have someone who can suggest next steps and how to achieve goals when you are lost.”
Columbia Counseling Psychology
“I struggled a bit when thinking about whether to apply directly to graduate school or taking a gap year for more experiences. But I absolutely made the right decision. Thanks to Seth’s suggestion and the support from my friends, I managed to go back to my hometown and gain valuable practical experience from teaching. This is important for me to decide my next step leading to graduate study.”
Harvard GSD Master in Design Studies Technology
“I met a group of super nice companions and we helped each other. I gradually managed to focus again. Seth always says that everyone can go through anxiety and depression, and one must believe that the best is yet to come. The community helped a lot. And all his students are nice and smart. I guess that’s what Seth wanted, and the community really works.”
Harvard GSD Master in Design Studies
“I changed my target program from urban planning to urban design, then to MLA and finally to MDes CC. Seth knows well about each direction and understands the potential in each. And also he is extremely smart and his judgement is somehow, mysterious but marvelous. I chose to work with him because I had a comfortable conversation, which made me trust him. It’s interesting. And I’ve trusted him all the way through.”
Harvard GSD Master in Architecture II
“Seth’s comments are not clear for me at first. He never told me what is right, what I should do directly. Instead, he usually pointed me where it is not good enough. I had to think over every detail on my own and work out a solution. It’s tough, but worthwhile. His guidance pushed me to criticize my own work, without being influenced by his personal preference. I continually crashed and revived, and finally thrived.”
Harvard GSD Landscape Architecture in Urban Design
“Seth encouraged me to visit different websites and get inspired. Also I reached out to various mentors or peers and talked with them on the topics I concerned. I realized that I have to work on what I really believe in. Urban Design makes more sense to me. And I learned to transform my anxiety into the motivation for finding a solution. Gap year for me is a chance for reflecting on my struggles and adjusting my direction. These are much more important than getting into top schools.”
Harvard GSD Master in Design Studies
“I was busy with my internship and had to spare time for graduate school application. I can be passive from time to time. It was Seth who pushed me and always encouraged me when I was extremely anxious. He often provides positive feedback to me and guides me to think in a positive way. Also, his advice on portfolios is sharp and trustworthy.”
Harvard GSD Urban Design
“I guess the miracle is because I really trusted in Seth’s opinions. And finally, the offer I received proved that he’s definitely sharp. Also, I had a clear mind on messages I hope to deliver, thanks to my previous practice.”
