I’ve got you covered
I love working with teens and can help you learn to write a college admissions essay that reflects you perfectly. I’ll guide you through from choosing colleges to making a decision where to attend.
I’ve also worked in Oxford’s Graduate Admissions & Funding Office, lent my skills to the corporate marketing world for 5 years, and worked in academic research and university coordination.
Most of all, I love to teach students to write essays – and the essay is the one place on your college applications where you can truly shine.
Let’s get those essays right.
5 Top Tips for your Common App Personal Statement
Be authentic – No matter which college application you’re writing, Admissions Officers genuinely want to hear about you. The Common App Personal Statement is supposed to be exactly that – personal!
Be creative – Yes, you do have a story to tell (and our signature brainstorming session with a college admissions counselor can help you find it within you!) Need help with your creative writing? Junior and sophomore (Grade 10 and 11) writing workshops are coming soon! Juniors/Sophomore page
Be specific – That’s right, college and university applications are asking for details. Describe your experience in a way that helps admissions officers understand the experience you went through and how it impacted you.
Reflect honestly – Read the above line one more time – how did the experience you’re writing about in your college application impact you? A personal essay editor can help ensure your narrative flows and your admissions essay is clear, but you need to do the self-reflection and reflect honestly on your experiences. (Don’t worry, our signature brainstorming sessions can help!) Book a call or contact us to find out more.
Answer the question fully – While this sounds like a little obvious, as college admissions counselors, we often see that students miss this one. Really read the whole prompt – are you answering the whole question? All of the sub-questions? Whether you’re looking for admissions essay editing for the Common App Personal Statement or for Supplemental Essays for individual college applications, answering the question fully is key!
Why hire an educational consultant or college admissions counselor to help?
Well, a personal essay editor is not only a second set of eyes. (Of course, that helps, too). When you have a professional essay editor look at your Common App Personal Statement and college applications, you’ll get insight on how to fully answer the question well.
