Package Description:
This package is designed for high school students wanting extra guidance and support for Common App AND BYU application essays. If you are comfortable drafting your application essays on your own but looking for an admissions application expert to review your essays--this is the package for you! Your essays will be reviewed for effectiveness in answering prompts, making sure your essays contain content unique to you that will convey meaning to admissions readers, and editing suggestions to give you the best shot at admissions. With this package, you'll receive a detailed review of one Common App essay of your choice (note: two of the Common App prompts are also included in the BYU application). You’re welcome to use this essay for other schools and adapt it as needed for BYU. You'll also get one full review of all of your BYU essays—completely free. Please note that this package is in compliance with BYU's application guidelines. BYU's application includes the following language: - "You may not use generative AI tools (like ChatGPT) as you compose your responses" - "You may not pay anyone to help you with your application." — Coaches have agreed to provide all BYU support 100% for FREE for students who work with them through this package. - "You may ask others to read and review your essays to ensure that you are answering the prompt clearly and effectively." — Your coach will provide free essay revisions in line with this guidance - "Although it is acceptable to have others review your essays prior to submission, the words and ideas must be your own." — Your coach will never write essays for you, but they will support you as you craft a winning essay that resonates with the admissions team. In summary, this package is in compliance with BYU's application guidance. We've helped thousands of students with their BYU and other college applications and are excited to support you as you pursue this important goal. We are also deeply grateful to our BYU experts who have offered to provide BYU coaching for free for their clients who work with them on other schools.

From UPenn to the White House | Essay Coach | 100+ Admits at Top Unis
The college essay is the one part of your application that's entirely yours: no GPA, no test score, and no class rank. Just your story. And how you tell it changes everything. I know this firsthand. I went through the same high-stakes process you're facing, earned my degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and went on to work in the White House, an experience that sharpened my writing, my ability to communicate under pressure, and my understanding of what it takes to stand out in rooms full of exceptional people. That's exactly the challenge you're facing now. Over the past 5+ years of college admissions coaching, I've helped 100+ students earn admission to schools like Northwestern, Brown, UPenn, Berkeley, NYU, Wesleyan, and the LSE not by making their essays sound impressive, but by making them sound true. There's a difference, and admissions officers can feel it instantly. My approach is simple: I dig into who you actually are — your experiences, contradictions, obsessions, and blind spots — and help you build an essay around the version of yourself that's most worth knowing. I won't write a word of it for you. But I will push you, question you, and edit you until the essay sounds like the best, most honest version of your voice on the page. If you're ready to stop stressing and start writing something you're proud of, let's talk.
