Writing college applications can be difficult, and on top of that, it is probably THE most important part of your application process. Where do you start? How do make yourself stand out amongst the millions of applicants? How do you balance sounding professional and letting your personality come through?
Here is where I can help. I have had over four years of essay consulting experience and have graded over 500 high school essays. I have a bachelor's degree in writing, taught literature to high school students, and worked alongside a university admissions office, so I know what colleges are looking for.
Getting into the right college is an extremely important step for your future, and having a stellar essay will help you get there!

“I asked Kerry Wade to help me with one of my college application essays when I had a writer’s block. We went through my essay slowly and thoroughly and she helped me identify both detailed words and big structural changes that could make my essay more effective. Her advice was really encouraging and helpful and I’m proud to say one of my best essays resulted from it.”
— Sarah Miller, high school senior, 18

What to expect:
I am not a proofreading or editing service; rather, I want to work with you to produce an essay that reflects you as a person and a writer. When you come for an appointment, expect to engage in a rigorous conversation about your ideas and your writing. Ultimately, while I hope you leave with a better piece of writing, I am more concerned that you leave a better writer.
Why I do what I do:
I love finding the diamonds. Every essay has one: a spark of an idea or a hint of a story waiting to be told well. Some essays come with diamond clearly visible, it just needs some polishing. Some essays come with discouraged writers who believe they cannot write or express themselves. I love helping people find the diamonds in their writing, this not only improves essays, but improves confidence as well.
