Armaan
Founder & Lead Consultant, Pacific Admissions Group
Armaan knows what it takes to break into California's most competitive business programs. As a freshman admit to USC's Marshall School of Business - one of the most selective undergraduate business schools in the country - he developed a deep understanding of what top institutions look for and how admissions decisions are made.
But it was helping his younger brother, Manraj, navigate the transfer process that sparked everything. What started as family support turned into an obsession with the mechanics of California's transfer system. Armaan guided Manraj from community college to acceptances at UCLA Business Economics, USC Marshall, UC Irvine's Merage School of Business, and UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, where Manraj chose to enroll - four of the most competitive transfer programs in the state.
Through that experience, Armaan discovered something that frustrated him: the transfer admissions process in California is incredibly navigable if you know how it works. TAG agreements, IGETC pathways, TAP at UCLA, ASSIST.org articulation - these systems are designed to help students transfer successfully. But most community college students don't have anyone in their corner who truly understands the landscape.
That's why he founded Pacific Admissions Group. Whether it's mapping out a course plan two years before an application deadline or crafting the personal statements that get students noticed, Armaan and the team bring the same level of care and strategic thinking to every student they work with.
His philosophy is simple: the California transfer system rewards students who are informed and prepared. Our job is to make sure you're both.
