Common App & Supplemental Essays
We provide comprehensive support for both the Common App personal essay and school-specific supplemental essays.

We guide you through brainstorming topics, structuring your narrative, and refining your writing to create a compelling and authentic personal essay. In addition to the Common App essay, many universities require supplemental essays that address specific prompts. These essays demonstrate your interest in a particular institution, your understanding of its offerings, and how you would contribute to its community. We offer tailored guidance on tackling these supplemental essays, ensuring you effectively articulate your fit for each specific university.
