Getting Into Your Dream School
The Process
The college admission process can be overwhelming and stressful, but having a college counselor with the right strategy can maximize your chances of getting into your top choice of schools. An individualized and detailed plan of action will leave you confident that you have taken advantage of every strategy possible. I'll alleviate the stress of wondering if you truly did everything possible for acceptance.
I will help you understand the complex admissions process by clearly laying out what needs to be done, while supporting you each step of the way. I'm happy to share as much information with you as possible! I look forward to the opportunity to help you get into a school of your choice. It's never too late (or too early) to start preparing for the next phase of your education!
THE Essay
This is not your typical English essay! A unique and interesting personal statement is critical for THE college essay. Depending upon the individual goals of the student, we will create an authentic and memorable essay while keeping in mind that certain structural and grammatical standards always apply. We will review other successful essays, so you can better understand how to shape your own. I work with each student individually, from addressing the prompt to final submission. The college application process is complex; together we'll ensure this one is absolutely perfect before it is submitted.
The Truth
True Story:
When I applied to college, I plugged in my typewriter (technically an early word processor) the night before they were due, wrote some essays, included a few letters of recommendation, and got into five of my five schools. NEVER would that happen today!
The reality is that it's a different era, one that requires careful planning and strategizing. Needless to say, this is not your parents' application process!
