UC Berkeley Haas Admit | Expert in Transfer Essays & Narratives
I overcame a 5% acceptance rate to the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business as a community college transfer. Since my own admittance, I have been deeply involved in helping several transfer students make their own jump to a 4 year university. I have expertise in helping students craft a compelling personal narrative and package together an application that will catch the eye of an admissions team. I also came from a single mother background, and finding scholarships to supplement my financial aid was crucial for me to attend univeristy. I can share my tips and tricks for securing over $20k in independent scholarships, from the sourcing process to the actual application (which often includes an essay).
