She got into Harvard. Twice.
1) I’ve been in your shoes and made it through rigorous admissions—thrice. 
First it was for undergrad at University of Rochester. Then for grad school at Harvard. Twice.
I know how stressful writing those essays can be: I dreaded it.
Yet, I successfully got into both schools, and—most importantly for you—I learned how to write successful essays—quickly.
2) 100% of my students have gotten into their top choice schools over 7 years—66% of which were Ivy League schools.
After finishing at Harvard, I taught English and Writing at a college preparatory school in Boston where I learned additional tactics for a successful college application.
There, it became strikingly apparent that all things being equal, the student who tells the best story wins. I was determined to help them tell that story.
For that last 7 years, I’ve melded my knowledge of college admissions and teaching with my strength and training in writing to help students write stellar admissions essays—essays that result in that life-changing thrill: receiving the thick response letter from the school of your choice.
I’d love nothing more than to help you get that too.

OK, while true, that has absolutely nothing to do with it. But the success stories below do!
A few Success Stories
1.” Your encouraging attitude was the most helpful thing about working with you. You genuinely wanted me to do well, and I really tried to improve my essays because you had so much faith in me. I wanted to live up to that expectation. Also, the mock interviews were really helpful! Many of the questions you asked were also brought up in the interviews. Like myself, a lot of other students really don’t know themselves that well, and it’s really hard to answer questions like “name your biggest weakness.” But by going through the list of questions with me, and giving tips about stories, etc. that I could share to show my personality really gave me the confidence I lacked before the exercise. Not to mention, the questions we discussed are really helpful outside of just college interviews. They’re helpful when applying for jobs and internships too!” – J.C. UC Berkeley
