Admissions Essays
In today's landscape, admissions essays have never mattered more. The essay is one of the few places admissions officers can see your student as a person — not just as a resume. Our tutors can help your child write unique, well-structured, and emotionally compelling college or independant school admissions essays that tell their story — and get them noticed.
Mock Interviews
Two big secrets:
1) The admissions interview is much more important than many admissions officers let on. It’s a way for schools to filter out students who lack deep passions or self-awareness. (A Harvard admissions officer once described the interview as a “jerk test.”) A good interview won’t get you in, but a bad interview will keep you out.
2) You MUST prepare for the interview. Our unique Mock Interview Session is split into two parts: A 30 minute Mock Interview followed by a 30-45 minute debrief. For younger students applying for middle school admission, we invite parents to attend a portion of the debrief so they can help a student with further preparation for the interview. Co-founder Michael Robin conducts all Mock Interviews himself, drawing on his experience as a former admissions interviewer for Harvard.
