Meet Our Founder
Dr. Xiaofeng Wan
Dr. Xiaofeng Wan has over 11 years of experience in highly selective college admissions in the United States, including more than 9 years at the nation's most prestigious liberal arts college, Amherst College, in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Under his leadership, the international application pool at Amherst tripled during his tenure, resulting in a 2% admit rate and the largest international class in Amherst's history.
He is widely published on international student mobility issues on major industry publications. He was interviewed and quoted by many mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times, BBC, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and Nature, among others.
His Chinese translation of Admission Matters, a comprehensive US college admissions guidebook, has been the #1 bestseller in China among study abroad books for five years in a row.
His new book, Congratulations! You Are Accepted, was published in China in April, 2025. It is written in Mandarin and unveils never-before-seen perspectives about college admissions at highly selective colleges in the United States and his own unique journey of working as an admission dean at one of the most renowned colleges in America.
Both of his master's and doctoral degrees were earned at Boston College, where his research focus was on international student mobility trends.
