College Application Essays

Ideally, I work with a student from the brainstorming phase until they have polished essays, beginning the summer before their senior year.

However, as needs and timing are different for everyone, students can choose which services they need from the list on the right.

Additional Services

In addition to helping with college application essays, I am also available to help with scholarship essays and high school and graduate school application essays. I also proofread senior, masters, and doctorate theses.

Planning and Schedule Management

This process does not have to be stressful. If you start in the summer, there is ample time to get all of your essays done with time to spare. I can map out a schedule for you and check in with gentle reminders to keep you on track and get you unstuck if you are having trouble making progress.

Brainstorming

Before you can start writing, you need ideas. There are many ways I can help kick-start the process, mine your experiences for unique topics, help you outline, and support you in the process until you are ready to write.

Draft Editing

You should expect to write about three to five drafts of each essay. Once you have written your first drafts, I will review them and give you considerate and constructive feedback that you can use as you write your next drafts. We will focus on content at this stage, making sure that you are answering the prompts, including memorable details, and telling a unique story.

Polishing and Proofreading

Once you have solid drafts of your essays, it’s time to polish and proofread them one last time.

Activities List Editing

Your activities list is just as important as your essays. There is an art to maximizing the space you are given for your list. I can point you in the right direction.
