Admissions coaching from a professor who wrote the rubric
Strong essays are key to college admissions' holistic review
Good grades and extracurriculars are simply not enough anymore! Colleges want to see students who can truly express themselves and their interests in 200 words or less. Professor Berent's research grant history demonstrates his skilled wordcrafting that has helped many students get into their dream schools.
The key to a good essay is giving it enough time. Most students start their essay in September, leading to lackluster admissions. Prof Berent keeps students motivated and on track to work through an essay, leading to higher acceptances.
Students who start their essay early are more likely to get into their top 1 and top 3 schools.
What makes Professor Berent's approach unique?
Working in the classroom every day shows me what admissions is looking for in a way that admission's officers stuck in an office cannot see. I map out the trajectory of high school senior to a first-year student and evaluate what they would need to succeed in college. By treating the essay as a critical piece of intellectual branding, Prof Berent transforms raw experiences into a sophisticated academic profile. This method doesn't just help students get into college; it prepares them to thrive once they arrive.
Most college essay coaching services charge by the hour or per essay - that doesn't make sense to me - I work until you are satisfied. Writing a strong essay is an iterative process, and I am here for you through every iteration until you press SUBMIT. Your essays are reviewed holistically; a proper review needs to see them all together as one package.
Further, Prof Berent has worked to not just to review admissions profiles, but he's actually written the criteria for admission. Most essay coaching services cannot say that. This insight allows Prof Berent to describe the 'why behind the what', leading to stronger essays and higher admissions decisions.
