College Essay Coaching
The stakes for college essays have never been higher. Nowadays, many schools don’t interview applicants, so admissions officers only meet them on the page. Yet most students find the task of writing a personal statement daunting.
That’s where I come in. I’m an award-winning writer and editor who can demystify the process and make writing personal essays fun!
I encourage students to find their authentic voice and help them bring their essays alive with vivid scenes. And as a former brand strategist, I help students position themselves. I make sure their personal statement and supplemental essays strategically work together to tell a coherent, compelling story about who they are and how they will contribute to campus life.
Students I have coached have been admitted to schools including Harvard, Yale, Brown, University of Chicago, Amherst College, Northwestern, Emory University, UNC Chapel Hill, NYU, Washington University in St. Louis, Wesleyan University, Colgate University, Middlebury College, Colby College, Bates College, Tulane University, Denison University, University of Wisconsin at Madison, UC Santa Barbara, and University of St Andrews in Scotland.
“I got into NYU! I’m at a loss for words to express how grateful I am for Elliott’s help. I am so excited to attend my dream school and live in my dream city!!”
