Admits to All 8 Ivies | $1.5M+ in Scholarships | Let's Transform Your App!
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!
