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.

Every year, I see high-achieving students grapple with the same challenge. They know they have a compelling story, but struggle to figure out exactly how to tell it. Here's the truth: you're already an expert in your own story. My job is helping you discover how to tell it in a way that makes admissions officers say, "Wow." I'm Dr. Erica, an admissions essay coach and Fulbright Scholar. My clients have gained acceptance to some of the most selective undergraduate institutions in the country, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UPenn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, UChicago, Georgetown, Northwestern, and UMichigan. I've also guided students to win over $1.5 million in scholarships and awards. I earned my doctorate from UNC-Chapel Hill as a member of the Royster Society of Fellows (the university's most selective doctoral fellowship), and have held faculty appointments at UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC School of the Arts. I also serve as an Essay Specialist with College Essay Guy, an industry leader in college admissions coaching. I work with students on: • Common App, Coalition, and QuestBridge: personal statement, activities list, and supplemental essays • UC PIQs • Supplemental essay strategy: making sure you have enough strong ideas to fuel every essay (not just your personal statement!) • Project management: building a structured, organized approach to applications My core beliefs: Excellence and encouragement aren't in conflict. Instead, they fuel each other. I create a space where you can brainstorm, draft, and revise without fear of judgment, while holding your work to the highest standard. The result is essays that reflect you at your absolute best. I offer a free 15-minute intro call—let's talk about your college applications and how we can tackle them together!
