Essay Services

Personal Statement

Meet with an advisor to brainstorm and identify a compelling topic for your Personal Statement. The personal statement for the Common App is a crucial part of the college application where students have the opportunity to present themselves beyond grades and test scores, sharing their unique experiences, perspectives and aspirations with admissions officers.

University of California Essays

Meet with an advisor to brainstorm and identify four compelling topics for your UC Personal Insight Questions, a set of short essay prompts required for admission to the UC system. The UC PIQs are important because they provide applicants with the opportunity to demonstrate their individuality, resilience and potential contributions to the UC community beyond their academic achievements.

Brainstorming for Supplemental Essay Topics for One College

Brainstorm, strategize and incorporate knowledge of college programs, while crafting all supplemental essays for a single college. This involves guidance on how to research the college thoroughly, understand its unique offerings, and demonstrate how your skills and interests fit into their academic and community environments.

Essay Review

Essays are reviewed to provide comprehensive commentary and feedback. Reviewers prioritize evaluating the essay’s content and clarity, as well as coherence in structure and adherence to formatting guidelines.
