Meet Nick Moreau – Your Expert College Admissions Coach
At GRADCRAFT, I work closely with students and families to navigate the competitive college admissions process with confidence. With deep expertise, strategic insight, and personalized mentorship, I help students craft applications that showcase their unique strengths and aspirations—leading to admissions success at top universities.
My journey into education began with a deep passion for research, writing, and mentorship. At 15 years old, I was conducting primary source research with 19th-century materials at Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book Library to create award-winning historical writing. By 18 I was a student at Columbia University, and by 19 I was doing investigative journalism with the Columbia Journalism Review. While I was on a fast-track for a successful media career, my values pulled me towards student mentorship and education. After graduation I was honored to become a New York City Teaching Fellow. I taught writing to high school students, always focusing on student development and outcomes. I later founded GRADCRAFT in order to help exceptional students obtain the admissions results that they deserve.
As a graduate of Columbia University and a former Ivy League admissions interviewer, I know firsthand what top colleges seek in applicants. I’ve worked with students accepted at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Columbia and many other elite institutions.
Why GRADCRAFT?
I believe that strong applicants are not just high achievers—they are individuals who pursue their interests with depth, passion, and authenticity. That’s the philosophy I live by, too. When I’m not coaching students, you’ll often find me skiing, adventure cycling, or trail running—activities that require the same dedication, resilience, and careful planning that I encourage in my students.
