About Clay

Hi! My name is Clay Socas, and I’m thrilled to help guide you through the college admissions journey. I’m currently studying Economics and English at Dartmouth College, where I’ve had the privilege of learning from world-class professors, participating in programs at Oxford and the London School of Economics, and contributing as a writing tutor and tour guide. As a paid writing tutor at Dartmouth, I’ve worked closely with students to strengthen their storytelling, refine their writing style, and communicate their ideas with clarity and confidence—skills that are essential for standout college essays. I’ve also spent time studying the college admissions landscape, from holistic review to essay strategy, and have successfully mentored students who were admitted to top 10 universities. Whether you're crafting compelling essays, building a standout extracurricular narrative, or navigating school lists and scholarships, I'm here to help you bring out your best.
