College Essays


Just a reminder that this summer is the time your rising senior should be working on and completing college essays and applications. It might seem early; however, the goal is to complete all of this work before school starts in September. History has shown that fall of senior year is extremely hectic (testing, homework, sports, college visits, etc.) and since many schools review applications in the order they are received, we want to be at the "head of the pack."
 
After many years of working on college essays and applications, I am able to help my students organize and complete this sometimes daunting task with the least amount of stress. What you should know:
  • No, your school list does not need to be finalized to do this during the summer.
  • Most of the work will be done at home with periodic appointments to refine the essays.
  • This work meshes perfectly with your irregular, spur-of-the-moment, busy summer.
I am now scheduling these sessions. You can reach me at the office (973-425-1774) or on my cell (973-479-6749) with any questions and to set up an initial appointment. I am excited to work with your rising senior!
