Has the applicant made me feel something — admiration, curiosity, connection? Do I want to advocate for them in committee?

I have been a professional writing teacher since 1989
As a published author and award winning essay writer, I understand how to convey convincing messages on paper
My personal admissions results demonstrate the power of my application strategies. When I applied to college, I was admitted to every school, including Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Princeton, Yale, and UC Berkeley (with a full scholarship)
I continued that 100% success rate by being accepted by Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern and NYU when I applied for my education master's degree
In addition, I leverage my artistic background as a professional musician and actor to help my clients tell stories that will capture and hold an audience's attention
If you are willing to work hard, I might be able to help you find and express your individual voice and unique story to get noticed in a crowded field of highly competitive applicants
