Why essays are NOT optional

  • You're More than a Number - You’ve sent in your grades, SAT scores, and class rank—but those are all numbers, and you are more than a number.
  • Show You Belong - Data won't reveal if you'll fit in and thrive on campus. Your essay can show your passion, experience, personal and emotional strength.
  • Set Yourself Apart - Since the SAT is optional at some schools, your college essay is the strongest way to set yourself apart.

Your parents won't stop bugging you until your essays are done.

My specialty is making writing your essay as easy as possible.


Once written, you can enjoy your senior year without nagging about your essay.


I cannot promise you won't be nagged about something else.
