But why do I need a writing coach?
To help you stand out from the crowd
Your GPA, test scores, coursework, clubs, athletics, awards, and extracurricular activities show the admissions board that you’re a good candidate for their school.
But your essay is what can make you stand out from the thousands of other applicants whose coursework and grades are just as good as yours.
The more “you” your essay is, the better the admissions board can get to know you. You want your college application essay to be interesting, relatable, and - here’s the hardest part - memorable.
To walk you through the entire process
I know, I know - your favorite aunt edits your high school papers, and she knows where every comma goes. Your dad reads every English paper for run-on sentences. Those are both wonderful skills, and those edits might have really helped you in the past.
But the thing is, you’re going to need more than that this time.
A dozen perfectly placed commas don’t matter to a college admissions board if your essay is completely generic. You need someone who can help you as you plan, as you write, AND as you edit.
You only get one shot at this.
Why not make your essay is the best it can be?
To invest in your future
A well-written essay is a valuable investment in your future.
Why? Because the beauty of your college application essay is that, normally, you only need one really strong essay.
One beautifully-crafted essay will work hard for you. It can be used in a couple of ways:
Use it for your Common App essay (this goes out to almost every university).
Use it to answer other, non-Common App colleges’ essay prompts.
Use it strategically to apply for scholarships.
Writing one strong essay that gets you noticed is a worthwhile investment of your time and money. And there’s no better way to write a strong essay than to hire a writing coach.
Every college you’re accepted to, every scholarship dollar you earn - those opportunities are worth the up-front cost of coaching.
