Ensure your story stands out
Admissions officers read thousands of applications every year. Your grades may get your foot in the door, but to gain admission to top universities, your story matters. Having memorable essays is essential. Emily’s specialty is helping students craft essays that convey their unique strengths and personal voice.
Storytelling is at the heart of Emily’s interest in college admissions consulting. Her first role in the industry was as an essay coach and writing is at the center of her comprehensive packages. In fact, Emily’s passion for writing led her to complete her B.A. in Literary Arts at Brown University. She applies the same skills she honed in college-level writing classes, collaborative workshops (in which she gave feedback to others), and independent writing projects to support students writing their college essays. Beyond helping students add depth and dimension to their applications, Emily’s college essay coaching helps students foster vital writing skills, develop their unique voices, and build confidence in their communication skills.
Emily provides support at all stages of the writing process. Whether you need help generating ideas or polishing a final draft, Emily can help ensure that your story stands out. Emily’s extensive toolbox of brainstorming techniques and writing exercises draw out reluctant writers and elevate sophisticated writers. Her kind yet constructive feedback on written drafts will not only strengthen the essays themselves but will also nourish student confidence and help reinforce essential writing skills. Throughout it all, Emily’s deep knowledge of college admissions allows her to help students write essays that are not just well-written, but that will add value to the student’s application.
“My essays were honestly a hot mess when I started working with Emily. She helped me improve them so much and never made me feel bad about them. I think my common app essay ended up being the best thing I’ve EVER written.”
