For Students

Are you applying to a selective private high school, boarding school or college? Admissions officers read hundreds of applications daily. A compelling personal essay makes all the difference. We can help you craft an outstanding, authentic, well-written story.

We are not an admissions advisory platform. We focus on what we do best: working with you and your family to successfully land your message in your personal statement and supplemental essays. 

Given the stresses of any school application process, it can be challenging to articulate what makes you a compelling candidate. That’s where we come in.

Our Approach

First, we help you identify what makes you special and unique through a series of prompts and short exercises. Once we’ve defined your personal value proposition, we come up with a content strategy to determine what stories you want to tell through your personal statement and supplemental essays. Then we work alongside you, draft after draft after draft, for as long as you need, to write and polish your work.

Our Services

  • Defining your value proposition and key messages

  • Personal statements

  • Supplemental essays

Five reasons why you shouldn’t use AI for your school applications:

  1. Many admissions officers now have tools to identify machine-written essays.

  2. AI produces generic, predictable content that doesn’t get across your tone and personality as well as you can with your own writing. Or worse, AI can hallucinate and tell stories that just aren’t true.

  3. Schools want to get to know you and how you think, not how AI thinks.

  4. Schools require that you represent your submission as your own work. If you are found to have misrepresented yourself, your acceptance could be rescinded.

  5. High school applicants: you may get asked to talk in depth about something you’ve shared in your essays. If you haven’t actually written your essays, you may not be able to speak authentically about your topic.

Our Results

Our students have been accepted to top private schools, boarding schools and colleges. They’ve also learned how to shape their ideas clearly and confidently in writing, a critical skill they will carry forward into high school, college and the workforce.
