College Essay Counseling
An essay that makes them feel you're spectacular, without saying it
Brainstorming, structural feedback, and line-by-line editing across every draft, so the reader draws their own conclusion.
The process
Four stages. Every package.
Brainstorming & topic development
A guided conversation that uncovers a topic specific to the student, no worksheets required.
Structural feedback across drafts
Does the structure serve the story? Does it open strong and land the ending? Checked across multiple rounds, from first draft to final draft.
Line-by-line editing
Word choice, rhythm, clarity, and voice, marked up directly on the student's own draft.
Supplemental essays
"Why us" essays, activity essays, and more, each brainstormed and edited for its specific prompt.
What's included in every package
5 rounds of edits
Enough room for the essay to improve.
Direct, written feedback
Marked up on the student's own draft.
A student-led final draft
A final draft that still sounds like the student, sentence by sentence.

Questions we hear a lot
How long does the process take?
4-6 weeks for all five rounds, faster if you're close to a deadline.
What if I need more than 5 rounds?
Extra rounds can be added at a fair additional rate.
When should we start?
It's never too early. A single session in ninth grade can map out a plan for each year of high school, including which classes to take and how to make use of the opportunities available at school.
