Moses Cho is the founder of DreamBridge, a college consulting company dedicated to helping students achieve their higher education goals. With 10+ years of experience, Moses has guided hundreds of students to successful admissions at prestigious institutions such as Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and other top-tier universities.

A Bay Area native, Moses's journey to becoming a college admissions expert is marked by diverse experiences. After high school, he served in the US Marine Corps, completing two deployments before pursuing higher education. Moses graduated with Honors from Yale University and began his professional career in the tech industry, working at Amazon.

Since 2015, Moses has been helping students navigate the complex world of college admissions. His approach rejects one-size-fits-all templates and generic advice, focusing instead on crafting compelling, unique narratives for each applicant. This personalized approach has led to incredible success stories, with students often being accepted to at least one of their top five school choices.

After a decade of success in college consulting, Moses launched DreamBridge to expand his reach and impact. The company embodies his personalized approach, helping students stand out in a competitive landscape. Moses realized that many students often fall short of obtaining college admissions because they relied on generic advice found online and in admissions books.

ACADEMY

Private College Admissions Counsel

Personal, one-on-one guidance from a Yale-educated founder. We help each student find an authentic story and tell it with confidence, from the first course plan to the final application.

Our Approach

Every student arrives with a different set of interests, experiences, and ambitions. We do not use templates or boilerplate advice. Instead, we take the time to understand each student fully, then help shape a narrative that ties their background, academics, and activities into one coherent story.

What sets DreamBridge apart is our focus on authentic storytelling. Many accomplished students fall short not because of their records, but because their applications read like everyone else's.

Our process helps your student:
  1. Identify the experiences, perspectives, and interests that make them distinctive
  2. Build a cohesive narrative that connects their background, academics, and activities
  3. Write essays that bring that story to life in their own voice
  4. Present one clear, consistent theme across every part of the application
To give every family our full attention, we accept a limited number of students each year:

Why DreamBridge?

Experience  |  Expertise  |  Discretion

Many admissions firms staff their programs with part-time advisors who are current students or recent graduates. However capable, they often lack a deep understanding of how admissions has evolved, and the quality of guidance can depend on which advisor you happen to be assigned. At DreamBridge, every family works directly with the founder.

  • Seasoned Expertise: Founded by a Yale graduate with more than a decade of admissions consulting experience
  • Founder-Led Guidance: The founder personally reviews every application, narrative, and roadmap
  • A Story That Is Theirs Alone: Each student's narrative is built from their own experiences, never from a template
  • Proven Results: Hundreds of high school and transfer students admitted to Ivy League and other leading universities
  • One-on-One Mentorship: Biweekly sessions with the founder keep each student on schedule with their roadmap and deadlines

Services

DreamBridge works with students at every stage, from middle school through the final application. Every engagement is led personally by our founder and shaped around the individual student. We work with families in McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Prosper, and throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and with students across the country and abroad through virtual sessions.

Testimonials

Austin L.   |   Princeton/Columbia

“Moses played a pivotal role in my college admission journey. When I was transitioning out of the military, I sought guidance for my college application.

He dedicated countless hours to walking me through the intricacies of the college application process, answering all my questions, and going the extra mile to connect us with experts whenever needed. Moses provided invaluable feedback on our college essays, offering detailed grammatical and literary critiques that elevated our personal statements. His in-depth knowledge of the admissions process and criteria was crucial in developing a compelling application.

Most importantly, Moses gave us the motivation and confidence to aim higher than I ever imagined. His encouragement pushed me to apply to top universities, and his unwavering support was instrumental in our success. Thanks to Moses, I was accepted into Columbia University and Princeton.

I am forever grateful to Moses for changing the course of my life. His mentorship was an essential part of my journey.”

Edward K.   |   UC Berkeley

“I hired Moses in my freshman year of high school, and it was one of the best decisions I made on my college application journey. As an international student, I initially felt overwhelmed by the U.S. admissions process and unsure how to present my unique experiences. However, Moses helped me identify my passion for Global Studies early on, which allowed me to focus on relevant extracurriculars and create a strong academic roadmap.

He took the time to understand my interests and helped me highlight the leadership initiatives I led in my home country. His feedback on my essays was invaluable. He knew exactly how to make my story shine while staying true to my voice. Moses also provided essential advice on selecting courses and extracurricular activities that aligned with my goals, strengthening my application.

Beyond the technical aspects, Moses kept me motivated and instilled the confidence to aim for top schools. Thanks to his support and mentorship, I was accepted into UC Berkeley, a dream school where I can continue pursuing my passion for Global Studies. I can’t thank Moses enough for his dedication and belief in me; his mentorship truly made all the difference!”

James K.   |   UC Berkeley

“Moses was an absolute game-changer in my college application process. I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field, but I wasn’t sure how to make my experiences and interests stand out on paper. From day one, Moses understood my vision and helped me shape it into a clear, compelling narrative.

He didn’t just help me with essay edits and course selections. He pushed me to dig deeper and really reflect on why I wanted to pursue biology and healthcare. His advice was practical but also encouraging, and he constantly challenged me to refine my application until it truly captured my passion for the field. What set Moses apart was his attention to detail and the genuine effort he put into understanding my goals.

He didn’t just provide generic advice; everything was tailored to me and my aspirations. He knew how to frame my experiences in a way that resonated with admissions officers and connected with my long-term vision of working in healthcare.

Thanks to Moses, I was accepted into UC Berkeley to study biology, and I couldn’t be more excited to take this next step.”

Marelis L.   |  Princeton

“Getting help from Moses was truly transformative for my college application to UC Berkeley for data science. My initial essay was all over the place, and I struggled to convey my passion effectively. Moses helped me refine my focus and clarify my message, ensuring that my unique experiences were relayed in a cohesive way across all my essays.
‍
His background in the financial and tech sectors was invaluable. He guided me in presenting the real-world impact of my project and internship without getting lost in technical jargon. Thanks to his insights, my essays felt authentic and engaging. I’m thrilled to share that I was accepted to UC Berkeley, and I owe a huge part of that success to Moses’s support and expertise!”
