Description

Developing an essay writing strategy may be used to develop a Common Application essay or to develop a scholarship essay up to 650 words:

  1. Students are provided with a copy of Their Stories Vol I: Inspiring Essays of Students from Challenging Backgrounds, which is a collection of high-quality essays that resulted in the profiled students being offered admission to such selective schools as Amherst, Caltech, Duke, Georgia Tech, Williams, Swarthmore, University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Vassar, and Northeastern, and to such HBCUs (together with full scholarships) as North Carolina A&T, Claflin, Dillard, Benedict, Spelman College, and Xavier University of Louisiana.
  2. Student must submit a copy of their résumé for our review. 
  3. Student must submit a narrative essay describing their high school experiences, in which they provide insight into each area reflected on their résumé.
  4. Student may provide a essay that the student has written or we can make recommendations of 3 essay topics based on our review of the student’s résumé and narrative essay.
  5. We provide 3 reviews and 1 round of editing for a 650-word personal statement (i.e., Common Application Essay) or for a scholarship essay up to 650-words.

The review or editing of additional essays or writing supplements will be at an additional cost.

Note: Writing high quality essays is difficult for even the most academically accomplished students. While students may find ChatGPT helpful, AI cannot generate a high quality personal essay based on a student’s unique experiences or reflective of the student’s writing stye, voice, and ability as reflected in course grades and SAT/ACT Writing scores.
