“Dan pushed me to create a balanced college list that fit not only my academic goals but financial needs as well. Besides supporting me with my college list, Dan helped me brainstorm and edit my Common App and supplemental essays. He gave me insightful feedback on my writing that pushed me to continuously improve my essays until it was time to submit. Without Dan’s advising, I would have never seen the University of Pennsylvania as a realistic option for myself. I am grateful every day for his help!”

“When Dan sent me that first email letting me know that he was going to be by my side on this crazy, unforgettable process, I felt comfortable and ready to share my story. Dan was able to help me organize 17 years of my life into a few pages… Dan would always communicate with me whenever I needed it.”

“Dan’s expert essay review allowed me to stand out amongst my peers and get accepted at my dream college… He taught me how to tell my story in an essay. His guidance in strengthening themes, sharpening key points, and creating strong conclusions made my essay flow better than I could have ever imagined.”

“Before I worked with Dan, my college application essays largely consisted of anecdotes stitched together… He broke my essay down and reorganized it into a flowchart, helping me build a more cohesive and personal story. Dan helped me restructure not only my essay but also the way I viewed myself as a holistic applicant, allowing me to gain a better sense of what my priorities and interests were as I navigated college applications.”
