We’ll think in narratives.
Expert College App Guide
For 8.5 years, I helped hundreds of students land Top 30 acceptances as an Essay Specialist and Director of College Planning at a nationally ranked admissions consultancy. Now, maintaining a strictly limited roster, I provide personalized, empathic coaching that consulting firms or AI chatbots simply can't match.
Calls led exclusively by a summa cum laude USC double-major and MFA graduate from the #1-ranked Iowa Writers' Workshop.
Step 1: Outline
We begin by brainstorming and curating comprehensive activities list entries, strategically framing your experiences to build a larger, cohesive narrative that commands the attention of admissions officers.
Step 2: Draft
Together, we outline, draft, and polish your personal statements, UC Personal Insight Questions, and/or supplemental essays. As a professional writer and editor, I'll ensure your voice remains authentic and powerful.
Step 3: Polish
We craft detailed brag sheets to secure powerful, highly personalized letters of recommendation from your teachers, and meticulously utilize the often-overlooked "Additional Info" sections to provide vital context.
Step 4: Defend
Finally, walk into every college interview with quiet confidence. We'll conduct rigorous mock interview prep informed directly by my firsthand experience serving on USC's merit scholarship panel.
