Guiding students into the world's most competitive programs with expert, personalized admissions consulting.
Get StartedAt Adams Admissions Consulting, we believe every student deserves access to thoughtful mentorship, meaningful guidance, and opportunities to pursue their educational goals with confidence. As first-generation and lower-income college students ourselves, we understand how transformative access to higher education can be, and those experiences continue to shape the way we support students and families from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
While we primarily work with families through individualized consulting services, we remain committed to expanding access to high-quality admissions support through select pro-bono initiatives, flexible support options in certain circumstances, partnerships with educational organizations, and accessible admissions resources. At the core of our work is a belief that every student has a unique story worth telling, and our goal is to help students navigate the admissions process with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
started Adams Admissions Consulting in 2024 with his wife, Rocio Mendez-Rozo. With over a decade of admissions experience, Skyler has read and rendered admissions decisions for some of the most competitive academic programs in the world. Skyler previously served as associate director of admissions at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and assistant director of admissions in Northwestern University's undergraduate admissions office. He also has a Master's in Higher Education Administration and Policy with an emphasis on university admissions.
Skyler has extensive experience in admissions consulting, taking a personal approach to advising and supporting candidates and families as they navigate the university admissions process. Skyler has successfully helped students get admitted to Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Yale, Berkeley, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, and more.
Skyler is also passionate about college access, and from Adams Admissions Consulting's inception, supporting low-income, first-generation students has always been core to the company's mission.
When Skyler is not helping students on their applications, he loves hanging out with his two pups and his amazing wife, Rocio.
I believe every student, no matter who they are, no matter their circumstances, has the ability to be successful in this process. There is a school and program out there for every student.

started Adams Admissions Consulting to help build support and services for high school students with minoritized identities, particularly those who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), first generation, and lower income. As a first-generation college student who came from a lower-income background herself, navigating the college admission process was overwhelming and at times, alienating. With the help of mentors and other professors of color, she found her calling in higher education and later went on to receive her Master's in Higher Education Administration and Policy at Northwestern University, where she also completed her undergraduate degree in English and Latinx Studies.
Rocio has worked in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors, specializing in copywriting, and more recently, working as a director for an experiential education nonprofit in Chicago called Chicago Semester. During her time at Chicago Semester, she has had the privilege of working as a professor in a professional seminar course, a DEI course on racial segregation in Chicago, as well as a course on creativity and calling at Trinity Christian College.
During her free time, she loves spending time outside with her pups and husband Skyler, and going salsa dancing.
