Admissions essay editing
The essay is a notoriously difficult and dreaded part of the process when applying for anything selective—college, high school, summer programs, law school, and even kindergarten. But Elizabeth loves working with applicants on their admissions essays. She encourages applicants to tell their own stories in their own words and with their own voices, then helps shape their writing into polished, attention-grabbing essays that consistently make admissions officers sit up and take notice.Elizabeth works closely with applicants and their families (as appropriate) at every step of the process from brainstorming to first draft to readying an admissions essay her clients are proud to submit. She welcomes and has extensive experience with applicants whose first language is not English, as well as STEM-focused applicants who lack confidence in their writing.
Admissions essay editing packages include: developmental, line, and copy editing of main admissions essay + other short essays/short answers/supplemental essays + final proofreading of all essays.
