Personal Statement Essay Coaching
The personal statement is a 650-word essay submitted to most colleges and is one of the most important, and often most challenging, components of the application. It requires deep reflection and a thoughtful approach to showcasing your voice, experiences, and values in a compelling and authentic way. You'll receive step-by-step support throughout the entire writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and polishing your final piece. This package includes five 50-minute sessions, detailed feedback and editing at every stage, and unlimited editing. Note: students will be expected to spend significant time reflecting and writing in between sessions. Failure to complete assigned work between sessions may result in a need for additional sessions.
