I talk to your student about thier interests, goals, and experinces to find a compelling narrative. Sports injuries and dead pets won't cut. Colleges want to know what is unique about your student.
I make the essay distinctive. College admissions officers read thousands of application essays. A unique voice is more compelling than any resumé line ever could. That's what helped me get into Brown and that's what can help your kid get into their dream school.
Who is your student and what will they bring to their college campus? I turn details and stoires into a narrative that makes clear what your student has to offer.
I provide detailed editorial feedback and work through successive drafts. Writing is revising. You never get it right the first time. Through sustained attention, I can help your student craft not just a good college essay, but a peice of writing they can feel proud of.
Through sentence-level editing, structure, clarity, rhythm, grammar, I ensure that the essay is as tight as it can be. The common app essay word limit is 650 words. That doesn't leave even a comma to waste.
The best application essays aren't résumés disguised as prose. They're small pieces of writing that allow another person to see how a student thinks, notices, remembers, and understands the world. AI can't help you tell in your story in a compelling, unique way. I can help you cut through the ChatGPT slop and stand out to admissions officers.
