Common Questions

FAQ: Everything Parents Ask

Can't find what you need? Our academic advisors are available across all US time zones.

Do you write the essay for my child?+
No. Coaches use questioning and feedback so the essay remains the student's own work - anything else risks the application.
When should we start?+
Summer before senior year is ideal. Starting in the fall is workable but tighter.
How many drafts are typical?+
Three to five for the main essay, with structural revision before any line editing.
Do you help with supplements too?+
Yes. Supplements often matter more than the main essay, and we cover both.
