We all know that grades are an important part of your college or high school application. But they are not enough. Everyone who wants a spot at the school of your dreams has a high GPA and great SAT/ACT/SSAT scores. Standing out to admissions officers, then, is about what you do between report cards. It's about showing them your best you -- in a way that is captivating and genuine. It's about making them want to meet you, so they can learn just a little more. Picture I know -- I have worked and studied with admissions officers at both Stanford University and Phillips Exeter Academy. Through my conversations with them, I learned what kinds of essays elite institutions are really looking for. What makes them say wow... and what makes them yawn. To me, application season is a time to reflect and connect all of your experiences and accomplishments in a meaningful and engaging way. You'll be surprised at just how interesting your story is -- and perhaps you'll realize that your life reads kind of like a novel. That's why I want to help you craft an outstanding admissions essay. From in-depth discussions about your extracurriculars to brainstorming sessions to your final draft, I will help you see and convey the bigger picture. Every student has their own story to tell, and I am genuinely excited to get started on yours.
