Package 1 ($600): Common App Essay

Individually tailored to a rising senior’s schedule, this package includes:

  • a one-hour brainstorm session (either in person or by Zoom, depending on mutual availability) to review the Common App essay prompts and identify an engaging topic.
  • unlimited support for theme-development, drafting, and copy-editing by email and/or Zoom until the final draft is completed.

Students typically complete a compelling personal statement within three to five weeks in the summer and one to two months during the school year.

Package 2 ($1,000): Common App Essay + 3 Supplemental Essays

This package includes:

  • a one-hour brainstorming session for a Common App essay topic, plus theme-development, drafting, and copy-editing by email and/or Zoom until the final draft is complete.
  • brainstorming, drafting, and copy-editing of three supplemental essays (each fewer than 350 words).

NOTE: I recommend this package if your child is targeting one college for Early Decision.

Package 3 ($1,200): Common App Essay + 3 Supplemental Essays + Comprehensive Application Review

This package includes:

  • a one-hour brainstorming session for a Common App essay topic, plus theme-development, drafting, and copy-editing by email and/or Zoom until the final draft is complete.
  • Brainstorming, drafting, and copy-editing of three supplemental essays (each fewer than 350 words)
  • Detailed review and edit of the complete Common Application to ensure each element (including the essay, activity section, resume, and supplements) makes the maximum impact within the strict character and word limits.

A La Carte

Comprehensive Application Review ($200)

This package includes a detailed review and edit of the complete Common Application (excluding essays) to ensure each element makes the maximum impact within the strict character and word limits.

Additional Supplemental Essays ($100-$200 per essay, depending on word count)

Topic development and unlimited online support and editing for each school-specific supplemental essay.

Review of Completed Essay ($100+)

I can provide written feedback on an essay that has already been completed by a student. The cost for additional editing (after the initial evaluation) until completion varies, depending on how many sessions I anticipate will be needed to complete a final draft.

Note: Essays tend to be more effective when I have an opportunity to weigh in on the topic and direction from the beginning (see Package #1).
