We provide ways for you to take advantage of recent US Supreme Court guidance on using your race and culture to personalize your essay.
We compare your essay draft with essays of admitted students that admissions officers viewed favorably, and make recommendations on how you can improve the favorability of your essay.
We help you analyze essay topics that resonate with college admissions officers, which should improve your decision-making process about the topic to use in your essay.
We help you sift through “prompts” (topic suggestions from the college), to match your interests to a topic that improves your opportunity for admission.
We suggest “action” verbs to replace “passive” verbs which enhances your essay in the view of admissions officers.
We look for opportunities for you to add clarity to your essay, which admissions officers want to see.
We will propose “CCWs” – customized college words that can have a favorable influence on admissions officers. We also review how to use those words in the proper context. (e.g. “I had an epiphany”).
We examine your draft essay to add “transitional sentences” to increase consistency in your theme from one paragraph to another.
We make recommendations when appropriate to infuse your personality into your essay.
We examine your draft essay to see whether you have an “essay arc”, showing a clear beginning, a meaningful and bigger middle, and a concise conclusion.
