“College essay writing is an opportunity to tell your student's story. Who they are, what is important to them, what were opportunities they grabbed or struggles they overcame even their perspective on life. This is your student's BIG chance to peak the interest of an admissions person. This is more than an essay...it is true story telling. Crafting an essay to keep the reader engaged (especially when they have hundreds of essays to read) and making sure to hit all the points of the question prompt while also weaving in nuances about your student. Bottom line...the essay is how you set your self apart!

Dan worked hard with my son to help do just that. Dan asked the probing questions and, with a light touch, directed the narrative. He guided the writing process with my son without making it feel like school work. My son had a unique story to share and Dan helped weave the various elements through the essays...continuing to ask questions that resulted in a strong, focused written response.

My #1 piece of advice for anyone with a high school junior...work on the essays over the summer. This will make first semester senior year much less stressful.

My son is heading to his number one choice university and we are certain that his strong essays really helped set him apart. We know the investment in time/money with Dan was well worth it!”
