You will have everything included in the points below including 3 hours total dedicated to the college list.

If we begin working together before senior year (always ideal!) I can help your family optimize which extracurricular and volunteer activities to take on to magnify your application.

The list

Together, we create a smart college list chock-full of safety schools, reach schools and realistic schools that each student would thrive in. This can include both Common App and other schools, even UC’s. We can explore Early Decision (binding) and Early Acceptance (non-binding) options of particular interest.

Time to learn

I teach your student how to write essays and activity statements for colleges, which is vastly different than writing for high school English class or research papers.

✓ the student becomes the expert

Let’s get personal

We brainstorm together and work on the personal statement, the highest on the totem pole of college essays. Pick a moment in time, experience or relationship that has changed you and explore what strong lesson (s) stems from this.

Supplemental Essays

Most colleges have at least one, (some have 3+) supplemental essays that support the personal statement. There are a multitude of different essays from the infamous “why” essays, to school missions, religious or other university focal points. We learn how to best support our case for admission, while sharing personal stories that showcase our growth in life thus far and specific interest in the schools.

Waitlist + Deferral + Letters of Continued Interest

Sometimes life has hiccups, and in those instances, strong writing still comes to the rescue! When faced with a waitlist or deferral status, your student can craft a letter of continued interest to stay connected providing one last chance at showcasing commitment to the school.
