When can I start?
We can brainstorm most essays, complete the main Common Application Essay, plan for short/ long open ended questions, write your resume, and refine recommendations requests the summer prior to Senior Year.
Applications are usually published around the end of August, but generally are very similar from year to year…
How can I prepare for my session?
First Session:
You don’t necessarily have to do anything more than know your standardized test scores, the classes you have taken and the grades earned, and come with an open mind and your computer.
Filling out the forms will help cut down on session time. This information will help me to prepare for the session in advance and hone in on certain characteristics we should highlight. See Forms in this website.
For subsequent sessions
Make accounts to the universities to which you would like to apply.
Start applications
Organize a list of log-ins & passwords.
Advanced preparation at home to save time in sessions
Work on revisions at home & write a list of questions / comments to discuss
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy
I ask that all cancellations be by confirmed text message (I will write you back – if I don’t, call me.. please) and must be a minimum of 10 hours prior to when the session would have taken place. {I want to be able to schedule someone else if you cancel.}
Time Commitment
Time commitment
There is no mandatory time commitment. I work with you on an hourly basis.
I have worked with clients anywhere from 5 to 15 hours. They have worked on their own, as well, in both cases.
A typical session lasts from 2 to 4 hours. In this time we could complete 3-4 applications.
Essay revisions take around 1-3 hours, depending on the candidate.
Essay writing from scratch takes about 3-5 hours. Each draft adds about an hour. (Some of this time is spent at home unless you need consistent guidance).
