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.
Larger networking events include Discover Tuck: Perspectives in Hanover, NH (September 19), Discover Tuck & McCombs Happy Hour in New Orleans (September 25), and Discover Tuck Happy Hour with the Director in Houston, TX (September 27).
