Accepted to every college. $600K in scholarships. 1,000+ students helped.

Common App + Supplementals Complete Package

Common App + Supplementals Complete Package

$599$699

You do not have to be the most accomplished student to get into top schools, but you do have to know how to write a great essay. My story is proof.

I got into EVERY college I applied to, earned $600k in scholarships (including a full ride to Vanderbilt), and became a U.S. Presidential Scholar.

Yet I didn't found a nonprofit OR win national STEM awards.

What I DID do was write great essays that convinced colleges of my value.

And now I have helped 1,000+ students do the same, getting them into schools like Penn, Cornell, NYU, Rice, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, UCLA, and Georgetown.

What is the Common App + Supplementals Complete Package?

The college application essay process is a lot. Your Common App essay. Your Why Us essays. Your Why This Major essays. Your diversity essays. All of it, for every school on your list, all at the same time.

This package takes all of it off your plate.

In eight sessions plus unlimited email support, we work through your essays together, from your first brainstorm to your final submission. Once your Common App essay is done, I give you a blueprint for how to write the supplementals for every school on your list, and we do line-by-line edits on as many of them as we have time for.

You do not have to figure any of this out alone. I have done this 1,000+ times, and I would love to give you the peace of mind of knowing exactly how to approach every essay on your list.

What Your Sessions Look Like:

Most students complete one session per week, but sessions can be scheduled at whatever pace your timeline requires. If your deadlines are tight, sessions can also be interleaved between Common App and supplemental work as needed.

Sessions 1-4: Your Common App Essay

Session 1: Find Your Story

We dig into your experiences, your mindset, and what makes you uniquely you. By the end of this session you will have a clear, compelling essay topic and a complete outline ready to write from.

Session 2: Build Your Draft

You write your first draft using the blueprint we built together. I am available via email between sessions for any questions or moments where you get stuck. Our second session is a deep review of your draft and a clear map of exactly what needs to change.

Session 3: Revise and Strengthen

You revise based on our feedback, and you can email me quick questions while you work. Our third session is a deep edit together, sharpening your language, cutting what is not working, and making every word count.

Session 4: Polish and Perfect

Final revisions. Final session on your Common App essay. We go through it line by line until it is exactly where it needs to be. You move into your supplementals knowing your main essay is done and strong.

Sessions 5-8: Your Supplemental Essays

Session 5: Build Your Supplemental Strategy

We map out every supplement you need, prioritize your most important schools, and build a clear strategy for each essay type. By the end of this session you know exactly what you need to write and how to approach each one.

Session 6: Tackle the Most Important Supplements

We focus on your highest priority essays, typically the Why Us, Why This Major, and diversity or community essays. You draft them using the frameworks we built in session five, and I am available via email between sessions when you get stuck. Our sixth session is a deep edit on everything you have written.

Session 7: Cover Your Remaining Schools

You draft supplementals for the rest of your school list using the blueprint we built, and you can email me quick questions as you go. Our seventh session is another deep edit on as many of them as we have time for, making sure each one feels specific to that school and not like a copy paste response.

Session 8: Polish and Perfect

Final session. We do line-by-line edits on as many of your remaining supplements as we have time for, starting with your most important schools, and you leave with a blueprint for every school still on your list. You submit knowing your entire application tells one powerful, cohesive story.

What is Included:

  • Eight 30 minute 1:1 sessions, one per week or scheduled at your pace

  • Unlimited email support for quick questions and guidance between sessions.

  • A complete Common App essay topic and outline developed specifically for you in session one

  • A complete supplemental strategy built specifically for your school list in session five

  • A blueprint for every school on your list, plus line-by-line edits on as many supplementals as we have time for once your Common App essay is done

  • The exact strategies and frameworks I used to get into every college I applied to and earn $600K+ in scholarships

  • A PDF document after every call with all the research, outlines, frameworks, and edits we worked on so nothing gets lost

College essays matter more than you think:

At highly selective colleges, many applicants have strong grades and test scores, so essays help admissions readers tell students apart.

  • 84 of the top 100 schools rate essays as “very important” or “important" to admissions decisions (Forbes)

  • Essays can get students into reach schools; 3 in 4 students with strong essays get accepted at one or more selective colleges where their academic profile is below the average admitted student (Prompt Admissions Counseling)

  • Essays play a big role in students receiving merit scholarships or honors like becoming a National Merit Finalist or U.S. Presidential Scholar

A strong essay can be the factor that helps one qualified student stand out from another.

Why Work With Me?

I get results. I have helped 1,000+ students write essays that got them into their dream schools like Cornell, Penn, NYU, Rice, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Georgetown.

Here is what my strategy got me:

  • Accepted into EVERY college I applied to, including highly selective schools like NYU (7.7%), Rice (7.9%), and Georgia Tech (10% OOS)

  • $260K full ride scholarship to Vanderbilt University, awarded to only a few applicants across the entire pool of students who apply to Vanderbilt

  • $25K/year Presidential Scholarship at the University of Miami

  • $20K/year Gator Nation Scholarship at the University of Florida + accepted to the UF Honors Program (6% acceptance)

  • $2,500 National Merit Scholarship, only given to 2,500 of the 15,000 National Merit Finalists based on an essay-based application submitted by Finalists

  • Named one of 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars by the Department of Education, the highest honor a high school student can receive in the United States

And it is not just me. Here is what my students have to say:

Sent in by a student

“My essay went from a thousand words to 650 words in one session. She knows exactly what she’s talking about.”

She filmed this herself and sent it in, unprompted.

Are you ready to make the process simple and effective?

After coaching 1,000+ students through this process, I know how overwhelming it feels to wonder whether your essays are good enough, whether you picked the right topic, whether your supplements are saying the right things to the right schools.

By the time we are done, you will not have to wonder. Your Common App essay will be polished and ready to submit, and you will know exactly how to write every supplement on your list.

That is the peace of mind I would love to give you.

I was applying to 12 schools and the number of essays felt completely overwhelming. Avigail helped me tackle everything systematically. We did my Common App essay first then worked through all my supplements. I got into Cornell and UCLA. I genuinely do not think I would have gotten in without her help. Thanks, Avigail!

My daughter had no idea where to start with either her Common App essay or her supplements. Avigail walked her through the entire process from finding her topic all the way to polishing her last supplemental. She got into Georgetown and Vanderbilt. Having someone guide us through the whole thing was worth every penny.

I was pleased with what my daughter and Avigail were able to create together. My daughter had no idea how to start her essay, but now she has multiple drafts written, and I'm happy with the way that each of them advertises the extracurriculars she's worked so hard on during her high school years. I'm impressed by how wise and professional Avigail. We would definitely recommend her services to other families looking to figure out the essay-writing process!
