Setting the Foundation

We start by discussing your goals and crafting a clear plan to make the process manageable and stress-free.

Crafting Your Application Plan

Discuss your experiences and collaborate with your coach to define your core themes to ensure each essay highlights your strengths.

The Personal Statement

Work with your coach to develop a powerful introduction and a structured outline. ubmit your draft through our platform, receive detailed feedback, and revise until you achieve a clear, concise, and impactful final version (typically 3-5 drafts).

Completing Your Application

We ensure your application components align to present a unified narrative. Submit drafts through the platform, and your coach will help you enhance content, clarity, and impact. Work with your coach to efficiently reuse and adapt essays for supplemental essays. We’ll support you through multiple drafts until your first application is complete.
