College Essay & Application Support
Your Words. Your Voice. Your Story.
The 2024/2025 admissions cycle saw an astounding 6% rise in college applications. More than 8.5 million applications were submitted through the Common App alone!
​
Standing out has never been more challenging. That's where your essays come in. They tell your unique story—the one that goes beyond your grades and test scores and shares what makes you, you.
Writing about yourself doesn't come easily for most students. The process takes strategy, reflection, creativity, and patience. Your Personal Statement isn't just another essay. It might be the most important one you'll ever write, and it breaks all the rules you learned in high school.
No pressure, right?
​
That's how I can help. We’ll work together to ensure admissions officers have a genuine sense of who you are, your best traits, and your passions. You have 650 words...make them count.
Essay Coaching at Any Stage
Brainstorming: We'll 'dive deep' to identify what truly matters to you. This journey of self-reflection sets the stage for an authentic essay that's written by you and sounds like you.
Structure: We'll transform your ideas into a working outline that sets you up for success. Your essay is likely your only chance to speak to an admissions officer, so it should be focused, direct, and personal: Who are you and why should they care?​
Editing: We'll find your unique voice and direction with each revision. You never know where the next draft will take you! I will offer suggestions to improve content and prompt you for additional details, context, and reflection.
Polishing: We'll strengthen your hook, narrative, and conclusion, and review tense and grammar to make your words shine. Admissions officers don't like to see careless mistakes.
Submission: When you submit your essays and application, you’ll feel empowered, confident in your writing skills, and proud of your words. Your story will be memorable and 100% you.
Aligning yourself with each college's values is key to standing out in the application review process. Your application should show a college that you 'get' them and have what it takes to thrive in their community and academic program. With thoughtful planning, your Personal Statement, Activities List, and Supplemental Essays will demonstrate why and how you are a great fit with each school on your list.​
