Do you need help writing College Application Essays that will get you into a top school?
That's my specialty! Every summer and fall, I draw on my professional writing background to help a select group of high school seniors through the college application essay writing process. Areas I assist with include brainstorming topics for the essays; creating outlines; reducing essays to meet word limits; editing, proofreading, and polishing final drafts. I also provide structure to the process, helping students stick to their deadlines and stay on task.
Students of mine have been accepted to Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Davis, Georgetown University, Rice University, Carnegie Mellon University, Notre Dame University, Case Western University, MIT, Purdue University, University of Chicago, NYU, and other top schools.
