College Essay Virtual Bootcamp

The Virtual Essay Bootcamp Package is for students and families who want to get their Common Application essay done and dusted. This package is done 100% remotely, via phone and video calls. Students are paired 1:1 with our expert essay consultants. We then guide them through every step of the essay-writing process, from initial brainstorming and exploring essay topics to drafting, editing, revising, and finalizing. 

We work with students all over the world to produce both a high-quality piece of writing and a unique story that reflects their personality, accomplishments, and strengths. The deliverable on this package is the hardest and most important component of your application -- your Common App essay -- completely finished before the start of your senior year. The earlier you start, the earlier it’s done.

Every single year, our students receive a personalized note tacked onto their acceptance letters that essentially says, “Your essay was one of the most unique we read all season.” In our opinion, that’s an indicator that our approaches aren’t just successful, but differentiating.

So, why should you invest your time in this bootcamp? We’ve written about this in countless blog posts, but the essay is the one component of your application that students have complete control over. You can’t go back and change that B in Pre-Calculus to an A, but you can write an essay that makes application readers sit up, pay attention, and say, “we want this person at our college.” A great college essay tells a story while it highlights a student’s personality. Without it, your application is just facts and numbers. The essay has the potential to make you stand out, and get that acceptance letter.
