Why It Matters

 

In today's competitive admissions environment, your application may be evaluated in a matter of minutes.  At colleges that evaluate thousands of applicants with high GPAs and test scores, your essay is an important opportunity to set your story apart.  Our Common App Personal Statement Package will empower you to craft a polished, strategic personal statement—a story only you could tell—to give yourself the best shot at success.

 

 

How It Works

 

During this process, you will work directly with Kimberly Hewitt, director of our college counseling practice, to draft your Common App essay (or another essay of your choice).  Here's what's included:

 

  • A brainstorming exercise to get your ideas flowing and identify compelling topics for the Common Application (or other application) essay prompt of your choice.  We recommend completing this exercise before your first session.

 

  • Three live online sessions:
