College Essay Program

 After grades, the college essay is the most important element of your application

After academics, the next most important factors in admissions decisions are character traits and the college essay (the ideal place to demonstrate character traits and values). This data, based on a survey by the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC), indicates just how important the essay is in the college process. Why? Because the essay provides a key glimpse into who you are and the type of student and community member you will be on campus.

This package covers the Common App Personal Statement (AKA “college essay”) from start to finish with education & coaching that takes students from a blank page to a polished effective personal statement with an unlimited number of revisions until student and consultant agree it is done. Includes one-on-one sessions with Aletta plus asynchronous professional review and feedback.

As a WOW Writing Workshop Certified Essay Coach, my model is based on their 10-step method that breaks the process and plan down into manageable, efficient, and productive steps towards the final product that showcases each student’s story in their own unique voice.

My regular engagement with college admissions professionals - on campuses and virtually - keep me abreast of trends, changes, and developments in college admissions - as well as developing a strong understanding of how to identify and communicate student fit with colleges and academic programs.
