About Us

USEduCon

US Edu Consulting (USEduCon) specializes in guiding college-bound students and their families through the entire process of college application—starting as early as the first year of high school— to ensure that client-students secure acceptance from the most prestigious American colleges and universities. US Edu Consulting was established in 2008 by Dr. Min and Ms. Sue Yang, who between them boast a combined 50 years of experience in college guidance service for students around the world..

USEduCon can promise the following:.
1. The knowhow with which to present college admissions with energized CVs and impassioned personal statements.
2. The eyes to see student applications from the point of view of admissions departments.
3. Field experience that has over the years successfully placed thousands of applicants at the dcream of U.S. colleges and universities.
However, the binding ingredient that that truly elevates our services is the personal attention we devote to each and every student to help forge a unique life path.

USEduCon’s philosophy focuses on the particular strengths, skills, passions, and values of individual students: our goal is to reveal and nurture untapped greatness. Acting as students’ and families’ “designer” consultants and mentors, we present a custom-fitted road map based on students’ aptitudes, interests, aspirations, and financial means. On this path, we lead the way for optimal goal-setting, guide students in choosing what’s best for them, and assist with problem-solving.

We discover the means to elevate seemingly ordinary students into something extraordinary, and ensure that colleges can’t help but notice merits that might otherwise go overlooked.

Our transformative goals are based on long-term strategizing, so we therefore recommend that clients secure our services as early as possible. In this way, we can meaningfully touch aspects of students’ lives in and out of high school life, including but not limited to GPAs, extracurricular activities, test scores for SAT and ACT, and Advanced Placement courses. But even students who sign on only for the college application process will receive the treatment reserved for all who walk through our doors: We will you stride confidently toward success, armed with our experience, knowledge, intuition, and integrity.


Head Consultants

Dr. Min Yang and Ms. Sue Yang are the CEO and head consultants of US Edu Consulting. Together, they will look over and manage the consulting services for our clients: students and their families.

Dr. Min Yang graduated from Seoul National University with Bachelor of Science degree in engineering, and after few years at DooSan Research Institute, came to Los Angeles to study Chemical Engineering at USC. During his Doctorate candidacy, he taught local college-bound students such subjects as Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, US History and SAT skills. These experiences instilled in him a passion for high quality education services for the younger generations. At that point, Dr. Yang founded Polymath Academy, aka Dr. Yang Education Center with his wife Sue Yang, who had studied education and teaching at Ewha Women’s University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Teaching English and French, and had taught high school in Korea.

For the next 15 years, Dr. Yang and Ms. Yang taught literally thousands of students, most of whom went on to the most reputable U.S. colleges and universities, including Ivy League institutions. Dr. Yang diagnoses students’ current conditions, with a deep and accurate understanding, and guides them towards ideal, success-minded paths. Drawing from 50 real-life student case files, he published the US College Entrance Navigator in 2010.

In 2007, Sue Yang CEO and Dr. Yang together founded the consulting firm US Edu Consulting a concern devoted solely to admissions consulting for U.S. colleges and universities, professional schools, and boarding schools. Ms. Yang is adamant about quality control and guaranteed satisfaction. Her students are without fail accepted into top-drawer schools; most find their way to their dream schools, often when they had seen this as impossibility. Every now and then families of students send her thank-you cards. Her students and their parents call her their mentor and a life counselor of great intuition and perspicacity.

2. Admission Consulting for US Colleges

Getting into college as a freshman is the most common, but not the only, way to start one’s higher education. If you did not have the chance to get into your dream school as a freshman, a transfer might be your next move. We help such students reach their dream institutions:

1. Students currently attending a U.S .community college who want to transfer to a prestigious college.
2. Students currently attending a U.S. 4-year college who want to transfer to a more prestigious college.
3. Students currently attending a college outside of U.S. who want to transfer to a prestigious U.S. college.


3 & 4. Admission/ Transfer Consulting for U.S. Graduate Schools/ Professional Schools

In the U.S., when selecting colleges, people often consider whether the selected college will be advantageous for graduate school 4 years later. For those who pursue an advanced or professional degree, that means the institution from which they obtain the final degree is more important. We help students succeed in entering graduate schools and professional schools, according to the viewpoints of selecting committees.

1. Students who graduated from a U.S. College
2. Students who graduated from a non-U.S. College
3. Students who are pursuing a professional degree in:
    -Buisness School
    -Law School
    -Medical School
    -School of Osteopathic Medicine
    -Dental School
    -Pharmacy School
    -Optometric School
    -Veterinarian School
    -Nursing School

5. Admission Consulting for U.S. Boarding Schools (Canadian Boarding Schools)

Reputable boarding schools are the gateways to Ivy League schools. For students who need a few more years of parental guidance, however, it may not be the best option.

Thank You Messages



Thank you Mrs. Yang. I still remember the first day I talked to you on the phone. It was a cold night in December at Carpinteria, and I was depressed and helpless, but after I met you, I found myself a new hope and soon regained my strength. A year can change a lot, and finally I did a great job with your help. Occidental, Boston C are good schools but I decided to go to Barnard. Thank you again and I love you.
