The Admissions Essay


or


“If I had known about this when I was thinking of having children...


The admissions essay is without doubt one of the most stressful hurdles to overcome in the application process and certainly one of the most important elements of a student’s application package. Perhaps this is why the specter of the essay wreaks havoc on parent/child relationships. I’ve seen it hundreds of times – been there, in fact: the parent descends into raving lunacy as the child takes refuge in the teenager’s favorite defense mechanism: avoidance.


Fortunately, what is a nightmare for parents is, for me, a great pleasure! My essay assistance service has rapidly grown through word of mouth. Each year I facilitate more and more undergraduate and graduate students with this most important task. I will even work with out of town students telephonically and through email to create wonderful essays.


My essay assistance service can greatly reduce the tension between parent and child because I:


- Help the student writer to brainstorm topics

  1. -Help the student writer to create outlines from which he/she will

  write rough drafts

- Set deadlines for completion of rough draft.

- Collaborate with the student writer on editing of final drafts

- Final review of finished drafts
