Personal Statement and Essays
The college admission counselors want to see a glimpse of the real person beyond the grades, standardized test scores and activities. Your personal statement and essays are like a cover letter to the admission counselors introducing yourself as ‘who’ you really are. The words, stories and the history you share about yourself paints them a very clear picture of your personality.
Therefore, when you work on this aspect of the application with me, I support you from start to finish in finding your own voice. We will brainstorm and decide what you want to write about; what you are passionate about, and what makes you tick. The words will be yours, but I will nudge you towards revising, editing, and finalizing the essays that represent and showcase you best.
Your essays are like the colors on a blank canvas, and it is up to you to paint the admission counselors a painting that is truly representative of your essence and energy. I cannot stress the importance of this facet enough.
