How It Works
  1. Free 30-minute consultation

    We'll talk about your background, your goals, and where you are in the application process. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a conversation to see if we're a fit. Book on Calendly →

  2. You send your drafts

    Personal statement, diversity statement, optional essays, resume, addenda. Whatever you need reviewed.

  3. I send back two things

    First, the document itself with comprehensive line-by-line edits covering pacing, word choice, structure, and tone. Second, a separate detailed memo analyzing the piece as a whole: what's working, what's not, and specific suggestions for strengthening your narrative.

  4. We meet again to talk it through

    Once you've had time to sit with the edits and memo, we hop back on a call to walk through everything together. I'll explain my reasoning, you'll push back where you want to, and we'll figure out exactly what your next draft needs to do. Book the follow-up →

Why Trust Me With Your Essays

My stats were not the reason I got in.

I went to a T60 undergrad. I have T4 softs, nothing flashy. I am a straight-through applicant with no gap years.

I applied to 16 schools and got into 13, including Yale, Harvard, Chicago, UChicago and many other T14s with full ride offers.

Storytelling got me in. I spent months on my personal statement, rewriting well over 10 times. I'll work as hard to tell your story, too.

Law school application results: 16 applications, 13 acceptances, including Yale, Harvard, Chicago, Penn, UVA, NYU, Berkeley, Duke, Northwestern, UCLA, Cornell, Georgetown, WUSTL, and Georgia.

What "Line-by-Line" Means

Every piece of writing I review gets two deliverables. The first is the document itself, marked up with edits on every paragraph: tightening language, improving pacing, cutting filler, strengthening transitions. The second is a memo, typically 1-2 pages, that steps back and addresses the piece as a whole.
