 The College Admissions Essay 

The College Admissions Essay can be daunting, especially as you begin to craft the narratives that will speak to admissions committees about what you will offer to your college of choice.

Now that standardized tests have become optional at some colleges and universities, the admissions essay has become the salient aspect of an applicant’s admission portfolio, and, as such, it is a beautifully unique opportunity for you to express who you are. Over the past decade as a teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy and St. Paul’s School, I have helped many high school juniors and seniors craft their college admissions essays, as they prepare to apply to the top colleges and universities in the country.  I have developed an eye for what works, and what doesn’t, when it comes to the form of the admissions essay, and I would be happy to help you craft an essay that speaks to your individual experiences, interests, goals, and dreams.
