Supplementals Done in 30 Days (4 Sessions + Email)

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.

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.

What is Supplementals Done in 30 Days?

Most students treat supplemental essays as an afterthought. They rush through them after spending all their energy on the Common App essay, submitting generic answers that could have been written by anyone applying to that school.

Admissions officers notice. And it costs students their spot.

This package changes that.

In four sessions plus unlimited email support, we tackle your supplemental essays strategically. You will learn exactly how to research each school, identify what they are actually looking for, and write responses that make admissions officers feel like you were made for their campus.

By the end you will have polished, compelling supplemental essays for your top schools and a repeatable framework you can apply to every school on your list.

Don't Have 30 Days? You Don't Need Them.

30 days is the MOST this takes, and you can go a lot faster. If your deadline is two weeks away, we'll fit all four sessions into those two weeks. Early Decision or Early Action coming up? Book your sessions closer together, or email me your deadline and I'll help you plan them around it.

What Your 4 Sessions Look Like:

Most students complete one session per week, but sessions can be scheduled at whatever pace your application deadlines require.

Session 1: Build Your Strategy

Most students make the mistake of treating every supplemental the same. We do not do that. In our first session 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 call you know exactly what you need to write and how to approach each one.

Session 2: Tackle the Most Important Supplements

We focus on your highest priority essays, typically the Why Us, Why This Major, and diversity or community essays. These are the ones that move the needle most. You draft them using the frameworks we built in session one, and I am available via email throughout the week when you get stuck. Our second call is a deep edit session on everything you have written.

Session 3: 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 third call is another deep edit session 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 4: Polish and Perfect

Final call. 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 supplementals are just as strong as your Common App essay.

What is Included:

  • Four 30 minute 1:1 video calls, one per week or scheduled at your pace

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

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

  • A blueprint for every school on your list, plus line-by-line edits on as many supplementals as we have time for

  • The exact frameworks I used to write supplements that got me into every college I applied to including highly selective schools

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

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

Want proof? Here's what my students got:

  • Full tuition scholarship to NYU Shanghai, worth $71,500 a year

  • Full ride to NYU, housing included

  • Accepted to Penn, and to UC Berkeley with a Regents Scholarship

  • Accepted to Dartmouth, Cornell, Tufts, Bowdoin, UNC and UT

  • Accepted to Cornell ILR, plus $10K+ scholarships at UF and Indiana Kelley

  • Accepted to Rice

  • Accepted to Michigan, UCLA, UCSD, Emory and Vanderbilt with the Crescere Aude Scholarship

  • Accepted to West Point

  • Accepted to the University of Pittsburgh with a 3.18 GPA, which the student called a reach, and she believes her essay is what got her in

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.

Ready to make the process easy and effective?

Supplemental essays are where most students lose the schools they worked so hard to get a shot at. After helping 1,000+ students through this process, I have seen firsthand how the right supplemental can be the difference between a waitlist and an acceptance, between a merit scholarship and paying full price.

It is not about writing more. It is about writing the right thing for each school, in a way that makes them feel like you genuinely want to be there.

I know how overwhelming it feels to stare down a list of fifteen different essay prompts on top of everything else. But that is exactly what I am here for. Helping students craft supplementals that feel specific, genuine, and compelling is one of my favorite parts of this process. I would love to help you do the same.

each of our 3 sessions was very helpful. she first helped me come up with an idea for what to write my essay about after i told her about some of my interests and clubs, and then we built and edited the essay in the other two sessions. she did some extra work beforehand too making edits to my essay and came prepared to each call. ty!

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 is for her age. We would definitely recommend her services to other families looking to figure out the essay-writing process!
