From the students who used TalkColleges to get in.
I talked to Sarah for an hour about my Common App essay and completely rewrote it. I got into Cornell ED. Best decision I made all of senior year.
Marcus helped me figure out how to frame my robotics club experience. I didn't realize how strong my application actually was until he walked me through it.
I was stressed about interviews and Aisha ran me through the whole thing. Felt so much more confident walking in. Got into my top three schools.
