Make my Essay better
” Helping make the blank page less intimidating “
what we do
It’s no secret that the college application process is daunting. To make it worse, how to write a stellar personal narrative is rarely taught in school. But the application essays give your student a chance to stand out and to speak directly to the application reviewers.
It is an opportunity—not a burden.
And still, most students wait until their deadlines are looming, throw something together, and submit a subpar story. We help your student pick their best stories to share with the application panelists. Then we help them revise it until it shines.
