I want to express my gratitude for the time and effort you put in with S on short notice to ‘rescue’ his college essays & applications. He is thrilled with the recent success he had from the selective schools and can’t believe he gets to now choose from Duke, UNC, UVA and Dartmouth!
In full transparency, I was not a big fan of re-doing all his essays and activities when we first spoke on Dec. 15 knowing that he had ~2 weeks to re-work everything he had just spent two months creating. S was mentally exhausted and not in a good spot when he got the deferral notice from Duke. But you helped him re-focus on the engineering aspects that would get noticed and provided him with really good directions and suggestions. The results speak for themselves!
