What Is a Good Essay?
The admissions essay is perhaps the most intimidating portion of the college application, and with good reason. A poor essay can give an impression of dullness, pretentiousness, or even carelessness. Unless you are a dull, pretentious, and careless person-in which case you might have a tough time getting into college anyway-such an essay is an unfortunate and possibly disastrous addition to your application. We can help you avoid submitting a poor essay.
Although successful college essays vary in both content and in form, they do share some common features: to convey the applicant's personality and background in a manner that is interesting and, above all, well written. Sounds simple, right? Yes and no. It is easy enough to declare your aims, but often much more difficult to adhere to them-the mind is willing but the pen is weak.
How Can We Help You?
In the Gold Package, our experts help you write the best essay possible. We assist you each step of the way, from the initial brainstorming to final draft, and your personal statement stands out from the mass of unimpressive essays that admissions officers must read each year.
To aid you in the intimidating task of beginning your essay, we provide you with a copy of the First Choice Guide to Writing a Winning College Essay, which includes tips, worksheets, and sample essays with critiques. Next is a 30-minute brainstorming session, either at our office or over the phone, in which we help you come up with an essay plan that fits your particular history and personality. Finally, after you have written a draft of your essay, we will edit and critique it within two days so you can add it to your application bundle, confident in the fact that you have put your best foot forward.
