The summer before senior year is when everything gets really real! You’ve taken your standardized tests (or not), you’ve built your resume, and now it’s actually time to start applying. It can feel overwhelming, but we have this down to a (personalized) science. No matter what level of support you choose, you’ll know what to do and when to do it — and our expert team will have your back.
When you’re staring at a blank screen, it can be hard to know where to start your personal statement essay, those few paragraphs that will introduce you to admissions committees. Our full service, small group, and bootcamps options help you brainstorm, develop, and polish your personal statement and supplemental essays. There's no need to compete in the tragedy olympics in these essays; instead, you’ll sound like your best, most interesting, and unique self, and the topic you choose will be relevant to who you are today and who you want to be
Many levels of service also include support for resume writing and activity lists, common app review, and deferral/waitlist support with letters of continued interest and appeals if needed. We'll even help you decide where you want to commit, if you need help narrowing down your choices!
