The more that you learn, the more places you'll go ~ Dr. Seuss

Finding the right guidance and feedback from a trusted advisor is crucial. Your college essay is a key part of your application—it’s your chance to highlight how you’ll be an outstanding addition to any college community. 

This is your story, not ours. We are here to help guide you on the best one to tell and how to present it. It must be consistent with your letters of recommendation and your interviews.

You have lots of stories that can fit deliberately broad essay prompts, but not all stories are created equal. We help identify the most compelling ones and weave an effective narrative. (you need distinctive and compelling, not shock-and-awe.)

Our approach takes the necessary time to effectively engage with you. Stories are personal and refining them requires building trust and establishing rapport. This is why we partner with you for the whole essay process. 

You're trusting us. We believe it's up to you to decide how you share your essay beyond your application. We do not share examples, excerpts or names.
