FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I approach the college application in a comprehensive manner. Grades are very important, but so are all of the other categories: activities, awards, supplemental essays. We need to build an application that showcases all of the work students do, even if they seem insignificant. Are you a caretaker or do you have a small hobby? That is amazing and needs to be incorporated!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For the past 10 years, I have helped students apply to undergraduate and graduate programs by helping them build their application profile.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Most parents and students want to find the “right” ways to get into their dream schools. They want to know what they have to do, but the what depends on student interests, passions, and work ethic. Instead, focus on the how: how do the interests, passions, and work ethic of the student represent an idea student for their dream school. How can you craft a narrative that highlights their amazing qualities?
