CzechMate | College Counseling

Hello! My name is Adam Černý and I help students get into the college of their dreams.

My Vision

Just like chess, the U.S. college application process is a game. To play the game properly, you need to know not only the regular rules, but also the hidden conventions. Rules are publicly available but these hidden guidelines can only be acquired through experience.

My goal is to share all the experience I gained while applying and in my time at Yale to help you uncover the unspoken conventions and get accepted into top U.S. universities!

Having done it already and knowing exactly what you need, I will guide you through the entire application process—from the college search to essay-writing and standardized testing all the way to financial aid.

My promise is a personalized approach that utilizes my own experience to provide you with all the information you need to submit the best possible version of your application.

General Advising

Whether you are unsure where to begin, what your plan should be or even if the U.S. is right for you, request a 15-minute chat with me so that I can help you establish your goals and move forward effectively.

Essay Writing and Editing

Essays are arguably the most important part of the application. I will guide you through the entire process—from brainstorming ideas to making final edits. 

Standardized Testing (SAT)

A good SAT score can significantly boost your application. With the help of free, official online resources, we will develop a personal study plan and work together on getting your score up to the 1500s. 

Why the U.S.?

U.S. colleges can be some of the most exciting and intellectually stimulating places—the extracurricular and career opportunities are incredible! However, study abroad is not for everyone...

What is my story?

I myself grew up in a small town in the Czech Republic and went to a regular 8-year gymnázium. In 2022 I decided to apply to US universities and after months of intense research and hard work, I got accepted into Harvard and Yale. This year I started my sophomore year at Yale University...
