Top-Notch College Application Advisor

I am working with Jonathan as a senior in high school applying for undergraduate college admission. Jonathan has been of immense help, guiding me every step of the way from creating a solid college list, to brainstorming essay ideas, all the way to producing exquisite final drafts for application submission. He has helped me take every valuable idea I have and convey it in a positive, impressive manner. More than anything, Jonathan is organized and resourceful, and he ensures I am able to get to where I want to go. The college application process is extremely daunting for every high school senior, and I am extremely grateful for Jonathan's support through every step.

very experienced writing consultant and advisor

Jonathan has been invaluable in the essay drafting process. He is particularly skilled at identifying the issues that each essay from a specific institution is looking to address and using those essay questions to strengthen an applicants overall presentation. He has also been helpful in planning responses to overlap so that they can be used for multiple institutions with as little revision as possible. Additionally, he has a strong understanding and history with specific elite/extremely selective institutions and a solid understanding of the best way to tailor an application to look most attractive for each institution. Finally, he has been helpful in determining which institutions present the best chances of acceptance based on an applicants specific admission package.
