Introduction: Over the course of my writing and editing history, I have helped students earn acceptance into the most difficult programs--Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, NYU, among other top-tier schools. From undergraduate BA/BS (including early admission and early action) to JD, PhD, MD, MA/MS, and (E)MBA applicants, my clients receive one-on-one assistance from beginning to end. Top tier not in the cards? Gap year? No problem! Every client is important and treated with the utmost presence and respect. And, results are the same irrespective of target program...you will receive college / university acceptance offers. One of the best investments you can make is to have your admissions process spearheaded by me. I not only provide the services that will result in the academic program acceptance letters you desire, but equally important, you will be supported by a new-found level of confidence in yourself and your abilities. I'll catapult your academic trajectory while assisting you in igniting self-efficacy, mastery, and resilience to increase your success in all life areas. I have spent 20+ years perfecting my craft. I consider myself an artisan. I don't farm work out—it is all me throughout the project’s lifecycle—initial phone call to project completion. I put my extensive doctoral background to work for you, for I have a vested interest in seamlessly ushering you to the next phase of your life with as little stress as possible. I'll even go so far as to state I make the process is fun! A keen eye for bringing out one's uniqueness, I also leverage my admissions process expertise and seasoned intuition inform my work. If you are reading these words, you are being guided to take the next best steps for you. Contact me; I will assist you in your journey so you can realize your academic, and ultimately professional dreams. With me, you have an editor, advisor, and advocate for life! Remember, there is a big difference between price and value. My clients understand and appreciate that difference. And, as the process is lengthy and intense, I can only onboard a limited number of students. NOTE: If you would like to schedule an initial consult, please refrain from using this platform. You've been training your whole life for this! Best, Rebecca Kovan, PhD

Rebecca is the best. My child had extreme anxiety dealing with the college application process. We all did. Rebecca stepped in and helped organize the process, kept my daughter accountable and on task, guided my daughter and worked magic with the essays, and overall made the process pretty easy. Ten schools were targeted and not only did my daughter get into all ten, but she got her early decision choice of NYU. She's a few weeks in to her NYU academics and could not be happier. If you want results, contact Rebecca. She's truly a college admissions angel.

Rebecca is the best! I got early college admissions decision for Stanford University. I could not have done it without her. Her counseling skill is amazing. She alleviated my nervousness and actually made the process fun. Her writing skills, the best. I will be forever grateful!

Our family hired Rebecca to help my son finalize his college essays and to work on his resume. She responded quickly, worked with our busy schedule, and did the job promptly. After visiting with her on the phone, she set our minds at ease about the process. I can recommend her without hesitation. We plan to use her again in the future.

This review is long overdue as I waited to see what types of attention my resume would draw before I left a comment. Since Rebecca completed my resume in a quick and efficient manner, I have had numerous contact opportunities and interview offers since I started actively job searching with the new resume. My old resume was outdated and I received zero attention on my original resume that I created in college. Rebecca's work is impeccable and she deserves every bit of the 5 stars (and then some) that I gave her. The new resume has given me hope that I will find the perfect job more sooner than later. Thank you Rebecca!

Yay! Part of my job is accepting that I don't typically hear back from my clients, which means they have moved on to bigger and better careers. That said, it sure feels good to know I continue to deliver. Thanks for the confirmation. Best, Rebecca Job: Resume & Cover Letter, Training Coordinator / Program Manager

The Edit Guru did a great job editing my graduate admissions writing prompts. She helped me see the view point of the admissions officer and helped me clean up language which was too specialized or 'industry-specific' -- I will definitely reach out again if I have new writing projects.
