Profile Review & Strategic Planning
Selecting Your PIQs
Idea Brainstorming & Outlining
We begin by analyzing your academic and extracurricular profile. We provide initial recommendations to ensure your application presents a cohesive and powerful narrative to the admissions committee.
Not every prompt is right for every student. We help you select the four Personal Insight Questions (or Transfer-specific prompts) that offer the highest leverage for your specific background.
Through dedicated video sessions, we dig deep into your story. For those in the Full Package, we provide one hour of 1-on-1 consultation per essay to move from initial ideas to a structured, detailed outline.

High-Level Editing & Critique
Refinement & Final Polish
Once your drafts are ready, our editors provide comprehensive feedback. We don't just fix grammar; we critique the substance, tone, and clarity of your arguments to ensure your voice resonates.
Every package includes a second round of editing. This ensures that every piece of feedback has been integrated correctly and that your final submission is as sharp and compelling as possible.
