Essays and Personal Statements
Parents and students often focus on the importance of high school coursework and extracurriculars and forget that a well-written essay is also a crucial part of the college admissions review. We work with students throughout the writing process, from brainstorming to final submission. Our goal is to support the student in finding their voice through the writing of a solid and authentic essay. We also help students as they tackle answering university-specific short-answer questions.
