• Designing an individualized time-line and checklist for the college application process
• Creating an organizational system that provides each student with a clear-cut method of managing time and tasks efficiently
• Helping students brainstorm for college essays and organize thoughts effectively
  
• Assisting in preparation for college admissions interviews
• Reviewing completed applications before submission
• Assisting in making the final decision after acceptances

 

Essay Assistance Only
For students who solely need assistance in completing their college essays, we offer the Essay Assistance Program where we help students brainstorm relevant topics, organize thoughts effectively and manage their time efficiently to allow for sufficient reflection and revisions. While we will not write essays, we provide critique as to word choice, vocabulary, sentence structure, and content in order to empower students to convey their feelings in their own personal voice.

Essay Writing Workshops
Our essay writing workshops are one-day events where 4-6 students work with a consultant to formulate ideas, organize thoughts and structure their work. The workshops are a valuable way to jump-start the essay writing process and allow students concentrated time to focus upon certain topics of personal importance.
