Let’s get those admissions essays right!

College Admissions Counselor

Sapna Sehgal, PhD, MSc (Oxon), PGCE, BCom

Hello! It’s nice to meet you. I’m Sapna and I’m and educational consultant and a college admissions counselor here to help make your (or your student’s) college admissions journey stress-free!

I’ve been working in college admissions counseling for over 7 years, at first for companies and now for individual families and clients. When working with clients, I focus on college list building so your university admissions process is tailor-made for you, taking into consideration your unique needs. I work a lot with personal essay editing to help your individuality shine, but can also help guide you through the rest of the process, including resume writing, supplementary essays, activities sheet descriptions, the Common App application form, and writing samples when needed.

Go ahead and book a free, no-obligation call today. Remember, the earlier you start your university applications, the less stressed you’ll be. I would be thrilled to help you with your college applications process!
