About
Your graduate school statement of purpose is too important not to be reviewed by an experienced professional. As a former undergraduate and graduate school dean, I have counseled and mentored innumerable students. I am ready to help you. I will encourage you to expand ideas or add information that will show you to better advantage. I will suggest changes in wording, grammar or organization, and I can help you to rethink and reimagine your entire essay. My goal is to help you to persuade an admissions committee that you are one of the students who they want for next year's entering class. In addition to graduate school application essays I also help students and professionals with all aspects of their writing. My goal is to help you become a stronger and self-sufficient editor of your own work. I have helped high school seniors who are applying to college with their application essays, graduate and undergraduate students with their assignments, as well as advanced graduate students who are writing their dissertations. My focus, obviously, has been in the academic realm. If this is where you need help, I am sure that I can provide the support you need. Here is a recent testimonial from one of my clients: "Dr. Kornfeld was invaluable in my application to business school. His experience and perspective helped to sharpen and clarify my essays and my ideas. He was able to make concrete and helpful suggestions that I used to keep my essays on point. And his turn-around time was amazing! I would send him an essay and he would send it back with really thoughtful corrections in no time at all. I have no doubt that Dr. Kornfeld's advice made my essays stronger and clearer than they would have been without his help, and I am so grateful that I could gain such useful insight from someone with such a strong background in academia. Thank you Dr. Kornfeld! I am going to business school!"

I retained Milton to assist with three graduate school personal statements. I immediately appreciated his integrity--he makes it clear that he does not "ghost write." While my essays were very much my own, they benefited significantly from his editing expertise. But perhaps what I most value is Milton's invaluable insight--developed over a long career as a graduate dean--to know instinctively how an essay will impact an admissions committee, and how it can be improved to communicate in a way that lets your strengths and talents shine through. His rates are extremely reasonable for someone able to provide that type of rare and valuable insight. I was accepted to the programs and have no doubt that his guidance as I developed my personal statements contributed to those decisions. He is well-worth hiring!

Working with Dean Kornfield was one of the best decisions I have made so far in preparing for transferring to a four-year college! Milton provided clear direction for writing my essays, as well as giving thoughtful insight to assist in making the writings stand out. Milton provided a feeling of having a personal mentor and his quick response and task oriented approach kept me on track. Not only did I get into Pepperdine, I was also accepted at Loyola Marymount. I highly recommend using yourdean.com and when the time comes, I will be back for my letters for grad school. Thanks for all your help!! Pepperdine Class of 2014.
