College Application Consulting
Strategy, storytelling, and the essays that get you in.
What This Is About
College admissions isn't about being well-rounded. It's about having a clear, compelling story: a singular hook that makes you memorable. The students who stand out aren't the ones who did everything; they're the ones who did something with intention and can articulate why it matters.
I focus on what I know best: writing. Essays are where applications are won or lost, and most students underestimate how much their words matter. A strong narrative doesn't just describe who you are. It connects your essays, your extracurriculars, and your interests into a single, coherent picture that admissions officers can see and remember.
This isn't about gaming the system or manufacturing authenticity. It's about finding the truth in your story and presenting it with clarity, voice, and purpose.
