It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.
3) Aligning with the Culture of the School
A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school
Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant.
If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work.
I will guide you through the writing process.
I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
In-Person Events
The in-person events for the month feature multiple Coffee Chats, providing one-on-one conversations across several European cities. These sessions will be held in Zurich, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam on 18–19 November, The Hague and Edinburgh on 20–21 November, and Berlin and Leuven on 27 November.
