As a French speaker needing to sound sophisticated in English, I ask Donna to “work her magic” on my diplomatic statements and articles, and she does so while retaining my voice. She also was invaluable for my two daughters when they applied to university in London and the US.

I worked with Donna Pelletier while still deployed in the Middle East but applying to business schools stateside. I desperately needed a quick turnaround on my essays and she came through for me. I saw by her edits that she worked on them until 3:00 am her time and, overall, went above and beyond my expectations.

My stepfather is a fan of Donna Pelletier’s work on his MBA applications, business statements for our dairy farm and website, and gave me her contact information when I was wrestling with my college essays. Donna’s list of questions made me focus on past achievements I had minimized and resulted in cohesive essays I could not have written on my own.

My personal story began with a whitewashed version of my background because I felt too embarrassed to describe my life with an alcoholic and abusive father. The outcome was that I was finally able to forgive my dad, support him in his recovery, and become his friend. With Donna’s encouragement and assurance that the pain I lived through would be relatable and the forgiveness inspirational, I got real about who I was.

Claire is prompt and responsive to my questions. Even when she was traveling and her schedule was packed, she managed to quickly answer my questions as I approached deadlines.

Shannon was extremely helpful to me in my law school application process. Her advice on focusing on the LSAT and taking time with choosing when to enroll was instrumental in my success during my first year. As a 3L, I couldn't be happier with my outcome and I am lucky that Shannon took the time to share her wisdom with me.

I had the privilege of working with Shannon P. Bartlett for several years, first at the University of Chicago Law School and then at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Shannon brings a comprehensive understanding of the law school experience, shaped by her background as a former practicing attorney and her leadership roles as Associate Dean at two top-tier institutions. Shannon is especially insightful when it comes to the law school admissions process, particularly in supporting first-generation and historically excluded students. She brings not only technical knowledge of the admissions process and institutional policies but also a deep understanding of the structural and cultural barriers that many of these students encounter.

Krysta was consistently responsive and provided invaluable guidance throughout my medical school application process. She assisted me in editing and refining essays for over 10 medical schools, offering thoughtful feedback through every revision. I also met with her to prepare for my first interview, which proved to be extremely beneficial. Her ability to enhance a narrative while preserving the writer’s authentic voice and personal story is exceptional. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking application support.
