Introduction
I have over 10 years experience helping students apply to college. I can oversee the whole process from picking a slate of schools, to completing applications, to asking for teacher recommendations. I have a particular strength in assisting with the Common App essays, the UC PIQ's, and the varied supplemental essays. I especially love working with ADHD students who are searching to find the ideal place to flourish. Get in touch. Together we can make the college application process enjoyable and stress free!

We used Deirdre to help with college applications, essays as well as general's writing and executive function. My son has difficulty focusing on writing, in particular and has challenges with executive function. Deirdre listened to my concerns, heard my son’s needs, his deep anxiety and she found ways to motivate him as well as teach him some tools to get ideas rolling . My son is exceptionally bright and STEM oriented; Deirdre understood how important it was that his authentic voice came through in his writing. With the 16 applications that we submitted within a relatively short period, Deirdre was a godsend

She was able to guide my son through the process of writing the college essays. She helped him find ‘his voice’ while communicating his thoughts and ideas.
Would highly commend Deirdre to all students looking for help.

We had a fantastic experience with Mrs. Allen. My son was stuck with his essays. Mrs. Allen was very patient; her approach was to "give student the fishing rod instead of the fish". After submitting his EA applications with Deirdre's help, he was able to write twice as many essays on his own for regular admission. Mrs. Allen was always available if he had any questions. I don't know what his essays were about, but he got accepted to several good schools, including an Ivy League one, which he chose to attend.
The college application process was very stressful, and we couldn't do it without Mrs. Allen.
