YOU ARE UNIQUE...
We believe that EVERY student is noteworthy and capable of an outstanding application. You have individual strengths, distinctive talents, memorable life experiences, and your own particular voice. You have what it takes to create an exceptional college application—and we can help you get there.
...AND SO ARE WE.
We are different from other admissions consultants. We don’t aim to reshape your identity. We aren’t trying to turn you into someone you’re not. We believe that colleges aren’t looking for superhero candidates. Instead, we understand that colleges simply want to know what is already extraordinary about you. Our approach is designed to help you present the best possible version of yourself in your application.
All of our students complete our introspection worksheet (which has over 100 questions designed to help us identify meaningful personal insights worth sharing – get a free copy here). We go through it and find the stories, examples, anecdotes, conversations, memories, relationships, and other things from their life that will help us craft a strong and personally insightful narrative. We also make lists of the values, strengths, and key personal qualities we want to showcase. Once we have some topics, outlines, abstracts, or rough drafts, we talk about which stories to tell where, how to tell them well, and what details to include to present the best they have to offer. Then we refine, edit, polish, and enhance over and over until the story sings, but more importantly shows their heart and soul.
We offer services a la carte, so you can get the help you need without paying a semester’s worth of college tuition. Our services range from the comprehensive Complete Application Consult to a single essay review. We also help with transfer applications, gap year applications, supplemental essays, letters of continued interest, or even postmortem application analysis.
