Supplemental Essay Support
Best for: Students seeking support from on school-specific supplemental essays
Price: $400/essay
Timeline: Typically completed over 2–3 weeks
Typically, schools ask for two additional, shorter essays. Don’t overlook the importance of these questions: the supplemental essays need to be of the same quality as the core essay. Furthermore, they offer an opportunity to highlight different aspects of who you are—academic passions, extracurriculars, or goals—that might not have fit into your main essay. Done well, these responses can help you distinguish yourself and ensure your application moves from the ‘Maybe’ pile into the ‘Yes’ pile.
Includes:
Brainstorming
Topic selection & outlining
One check-ins with written feedback
Final polish and proofreading
