College Essay Consultation
The college essay is one of the most important documents that a high school student will write. As Johns Hopkins University explains on their website, Essays That Worked, "It's a chance to add depth to something that is important to you and tell the admission committee more about your background or goals. Test scores only tell part of your story, and we want to know more than just how well you work. We want to see how you actually think."
I will work with you to figure out what story to tell, as well as the best way to tell it. My college essay consultation will preserve your integrity by keeping you in control of your essay, but with my guidance, you will be sure to discover your voice and correct any and all errors in spelling, grammar, and mechanics. In our first sessions, we will study college essay exemplars, unpack the prompts (click here for the 2021-2022 Common App set), brainstorm ideas, and engage in creative writing -- all to get you in a state of writing flow. In our subsequent sessions, we will outline your essay, revise your drafts, and tackle the supplementary questions for all of your college applications.
