Create A Stand Out Profile
Many applicants don't feel confident in their "resume". We will work step by step to put your purpose into action, build your confidence, and create a profile you will be proud to write about!
Create A Story You Are Excited About
Most students worry, "Have I done enough?" We will work together to create an authentic narrative you are excited to share and proud to carry with you in college and beyond.
All Before You Start Your Application.
How The Pre-Essay Academy Works
Step 1: The Deep Dive
In my course pre-work we will complete an exercise designed to get everything you've EVER done on paper. We then go through all the details, and brainstorm to discover...
1. Your Value
2. Your Direction
3. Your Purpose
Once you have completed the Deep Dive we then....
Step 2: Catch the Vision
After we've gone over all of your accomplishments and aspirations, we then reframe your future purpose in a way that is engineered to make you stand out from 80% of the competition. That's right, you and me. 1-1. Not a class of other students listening in, not just communicating through a chat bot, no generic pre-recorded videos... its you and me changing the course of your life.
With your life vision created, we then...
Step 3: Your Customized Plan
This is where the rubber meets the road! With you purpose defined, and your vision on paper, we then create a customized game plan on how you can put your purpose into action. We will brainstorm ways you can have an impact and create a profile you will be excited to share with colleges.
Then we move on to...
Step 4: Progress Checkins
With all our prep work done, you are ready to write! In the academy there are three draft revision stages and each stage includes two weeks where you will write the drafts of all your essays. Then, you'll submit them to me and I'll do a hybrid essay review and provide helpful suggestions, insights, and personalized feedback. Once you have a clear vision of what to do for improvement, you move on to the next stage of writing.
Step 5: Get Ready for the Essay Academy
You've done it! All your hard work has paid off! After all the draft revision stages, we will do a final essay review and you'll get the "all clear" to submit. But this isn't just a normal essay review, we will run through your entire application to make sure the messaging is on point and telling YOUR story.
And just like that, you can start Senior year confident you have written the best essay of your life!
