Sebastien’s intro
Bizybear started as a group chat and became an AI study platform I helped grow to over 50,000 users. I study business at UC Berkeley's Haas School through the Spieker Program as a Regent's and Chancellor's Scholar, and I'm adding a Public Health major because I care about where business and healthcare meet.
In high school, I led FBLA at the national level, spent a year in a trauma center with the Chief of Emergency Medicine, worked on a chocolate brand launch in Morocco, sat on my local Chamber of Commerce board, and led my school's cultural festival. Berkeley said yes because I told a story with all of it, showing the passion I put into every single thing I did. I didn't just list what I'd done. I made the readers see who was doing it and why.
My biggest strength is solidifying the activities and programs your child should follow to narrow down a major and build a file that points toward it. I can tell what's working, what isn't, and what opportunities to pursue. I'll stay with your child through every essay, building their narrative and their passion so the admissions officer knows exactly who they're reading about. If you're interested, book me for free and I'll give you your child's read.
Common questions
Before you book
What does this cost?
We are flexible, and there is a plan here that fits your family. You hear your number on the first call, before anything is agreed. What changes between plans is the kind of experience in the room: a current undergraduate at a school your student is applying to, someone who interviewed applicants for a university as an alumni volunteer, or a former admissions officer who read files and sat in committee. Every one of them is somebody we would put in front of our own family.
Do we need to know what we want before the call?
No, and most families book before they have decided anything. That is the useful time to talk. An hour, no charge, and you will come off the call knowing what we can do for your student.
How many students does one counselor take?
Few enough that the person you meet is the person who reads the drafts. Every counselor sets their own cap and prints it on their page, so you know exactly how much of their year you are getting. If your first choice is full we will introduce you to someone on the roster who suits your student just as well.
Our student is already a senior. Is it too late?
It is not too late. Several counselors here run compressed engagements and take seniors into the autumn, and there is usually more still open in a file than a family expects. Tell us where your student is on the call and we will tell you what we can do with it.

If something changes
The agreement is held by Aristo Scholars rather than by Sebastien personally. If Sebastien cannot finish the cycle we move your student to another counselor on this roster at the price you were already quoted, and everything written down so far moves with them.
