This package is designed for high school students wanting extra guidance and support for Common App AND BYU application essays with a live discussion of my suggestions. If you are comfortable drafting your application essays on your own but looking for an admissions application expert to do a back-end review of your essays--this is the package for you! Your essays will be reviewed for effectiveness in answering prompts, ensuring your essays contain content unique to you that will convey meaning to admissions readers, and editing suggestions for grammar and sentence structure to give you the best advantage during the application process. If you need a nudge to get STARTED on your essays, just let me know and I can provide you with a worksheet for brainstorming. After that, submit the Common App and BYU essays to be reviewed (note that two of the Common App essays are included on the BYU application). You may use those Common App essays to apply to other schools and adapt it however you'd like for BYU. 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.

BYU Admissions Expert | 6 Years as Application Reader & Counselor
With six years of hands-on experience as a BYU admissions application reader and admissions counselor, I bring insider knowledge of what truly makes an application great. I've evaluated hundreds of applications, so I’ve seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to essays, activities, and overall presentation. I know this process can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to help students tell their story in a way that’s honest, impressive, and true to who they are!
