I can help you craft a phenomenal college essay that will truly "wow" the admissions committee. With admission rates to top-tier colleges at record lows, having a truly impactful essay that set you apart is absolutely essential – it must be nothing less than spectacular.

Students that I've worked with have been accepted to the most preeminent colleges and universities in the country, including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins.

I firmly believe that everyone has a great story deep inside. My job is to help you reveal that story and effectively showcase your accomplishments, achievements, and brilliance to the admissions committee. We want to show them how wonderful, impressive, and talented you really are. I will help present you as not just an excellent candidate, but as an extraordinary one.

I graduated from MIT and was accepted into the MBA program at Columbia University. I spent several years working with the Office of Admissions at MIT, which has given me keen insights into the admissions process. I know what admissions officers look for, and I have a wealth of insider knowledge to help my students stand out from the rest of the application pool. Over the years, I've gained international acclaim for my unrivaled expertise with college admissions essays and personal statements.

I invite you to visit CollegeAdmissionsExperts.com to learn all about me.

I assist high school students with the common app essay and with supplemental essays, and I also work with college students and professionals on personal statements for graduate programs: business, law, medicine and dentistry. I provide strategy, guidance and editing.

As a full time educational consultant, I also help with all other aspects of the admissions process.

I understand how very important college admissions is to you, and I'm committed to helping you gain admission to your dream college. I look forward to collaborating with you to create the perfect college essay!

Brilliant, Knowledgeable, Thoughtful

I reached out to Dennis to get help for my daughter with her college essays, and I’m so very, very happy that I found him. His expertise and experience was invaluable. He was extremely professional, thoughtful, conscientious, and wonderful to work with. He knows what goes on inside the admissions office, and he was able to help her create a great set of essays. Very strongly recommended.

The Best Help I Could’ve Asked For

Before working with Dennis, I had no idea what to write about and felt overwhelmed. He guided me through every step, from brainstorming to outlining to revising, until we got to an essay that I was totally proud of. One thing that stood out was how he helped me dig deep and connect my experiences in a way I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Also, he really understood what colleges are looking for. I can’t thank him enough. Working with Dennis was one of the best decisions I made during this whole college application process! He was awesome!!

I signed up for Wyzant desperate for a miracle. Little did I know that I would find a tutor who would exceed all my expectations. Without a doubt, Dennis is the best of the best. It was evident right away that I was in the hands of someone who knew the subject matter inside out. He helped me transform my medical school personal statement into something remarkable that captured my strengths. Dennis also carefully listened to my needs and went the extra mile to ensure a great outcome. Thank you so much for your genuine caring.

Accommodated a very tight deadline, created awesome personal statement

I sought out help from Dennis to reduce the word count of my personal statement (which was almost double the limit) and also to improve the wording and the flow. I was very stressed since the deadline was coming up soon. Dennis was able to start working with me right away and accommodated my tight schedule. He was amazing to work with. He was pleasant, kind, and patient. We went through the entire personal statement together, and before I knew it, we were not only under the word count but the quality of the writing was just awesome. I felt so proud to submit the personal statement after we were done.
