The Amazing Results Our Students Are Getting

Over the last 10 years students have used the Write Your Way Into College method to draft thousands of essays.  Here’s what a few of our students had to say: 

Harvard University
Rated 5 out of 5
“I developed a stronger sense of self; I learned how to place an emphasis on authenticity and how to tell my story in a way that revealed who I am. Most importantly, I came to understand that it’s ok to admit weakness and be vulnerable in my application essays, that universities don’t expect a superhuman applicant.”
Ben D.
Attending Harvard
Princeton University
Rated 5 out of 5
"The opportunity to discuss ideas with an experienced counselor who helped me think through a series of steps so I could develop essays that were personal, intellectually complex, and unique was invaluable."
Neil S.
Attending Princeton
Drexel University
Rated 5 out of 5
"You taught me how to tell my authentic story across all facets of the application process and especially my essays. The essays you helped me write would not have been so authentically personal and specific to me if it weren’t for your guidance and expertise. Princeton College Consulting pushed me to be my best and you believed that I would achieve my goal as long as I put in the work."
AnnMarie M.
Attending Drexel 7-Year BS / MD Program
