College Essay Coaching
1-on-1 coaching by current students and recent grads who wrote essays that got them in. Starting at $69. Free 30-min consult.
What we know
The essays that get students into top schools aren't about big accomplishments — they're about a detail, a moment, a specific thing that makes the reader feel like they know you. We help you find that and build around it.
The difference our editing makes
What we cover
The main Common App essay (650 words). We help you find the right angle, cut what doesn't serve you, and make every word count.
"Why us," "What will you contribute," activities essay, additional info — we cover all of them. Most packages include 2-3 supplements.
Stuck on what to write about? We run a structured brainstorm session — most students leave with 3-5 strong topic directions they hadn't considered.
Every edit comes with written comments explaining the "why." You'll learn what to fix AND why it matters — so the next draft is yours.
How it works
Send us what you have — a rough draft, bullet points, or a blank page. No judgment. We'll meet you where you are.
Within 48 hours you get back a Google Doc with tracked changes and comments — not just edits, but explanations for every suggestion.
One revision round is included in every package. You take our feedback, revise, and send it back — we do a final polish pass.
Your essay is still 100% yours. We just helped it become the best version of itself. Submit knowing it represents you well.
Packages
No contracts, no hidden fees. If you need more after your package, we're flexible.
Just need one essay edited? Essay Starter is $69 — no package required.
Who reviews your essay
Your essay is reviewed by a current student or recent grad from a top school — not a professional consultant who went to college 20 years ago. They remember exactly what worked.
+ 40 more schools. Not clicking with your reviewer? Ask to switch — free, no questions asked.
Common questions
Yes — always. We edit and give feedback; you write. We never put words in your mouth or rewrite your essay from scratch. The voice, the story, the ideas — all yours. We just help you see where it can be stronger and show you how.
No problem. Our Essay Plus package starts with a coaching session — we brainstorm topic ideas together, talk through what's worked for students at your target schools, and you leave with a direction (or two) you feel good about. Then you draft, we edit.
Essay Starter: 48 hours. Essay Plus: 24 hours for each round. If you're on a tight deadline, email us first and we'll let you know if we can accommodate a faster turnaround.
Our network includes current students and recent grads from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, MIT, Stanford, Duke, Georgetown, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Emory, Tufts, Northeastern, BU, and more — 50+ schools total.
It depends. If you have one essay you want a second set of eyes on, the Essay Starter ($69) is perfect. If you're working on your personal statement and need multiple supplementals, Essay Plus ($149) covers that. We'll tell you honestly what you need when you book the free consult.
