No two students, projects, application profiles, and universities are the same. For example, working on supplementals for your state's flagship university, usually 1 or 2 questions, is a fundamentally different job than it is to do the same thing for Stanford University, which has roughly 11. 

There is no singular process. My services are tailored to each client and their specific situation. Additionally, everything that I do is dependent upon students making their deliverables to me.  A realistic timeframe to complete the Common App essay is between 4 - 6 weeks, which assumes the writer is in school and has significant extracurriculars and homework. 

I work with clients on essays only, their entire search process, list creation, fit, and more.  I stay out of the FAFSA and financial aspect of the process entirely. This means that my client load from year-to-year is not stagnant.  The number depends entirely on the proportion of writing-intensive students to non-writing.

Yes you can. My hourly rate depends upon the type of services being conducted. Proofing a 250 page manuscript is different work than helping someone identify their topic. 

We talk...a lot. Subjects include schools, favorite subjects, hardest teacher, fears about the process itself, and crunchy or soft tacos. No kidding...my job is to help students present themselves for college and I am looking for any unique angle.   

Parents and/or guardians are kept informed throughout the entire process. I do ask that the moderation of work, constructive feedback, and any concerns funnel from the parent(s), through me, and onto the student. The process is stressful and I am here to help minimize it for all parties. 

In most cases, payment plans are acceptable; especially for higher priced services.  Valid forms of payment include, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, wire transfer, bank draft, or cash.
