4 spots per sprint · completion by agreed deadline or money back
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
- 30-minute kickoff call to find the topic only your student can write
- 3 revision rounds on the personal statement (Common App, up to 650 words)
- 1 revision round each on up to 2 supplemental essays
- 48-hour turnaround on every round

Is this the right fit?
- High school seniors applying early action or early decision (Nov 1 deadlines)
- Students staring at a blank Common App doc, or sitting on a draft they know isn't good enough
- Parents who want this off the family to-do list and handled by someone who has done it before
- ✕Students who need full application help (school list, activities, interview prep). That's the full Meridian package, ask me about it.
- ✕Anyone who wants someone to write the essays for them. I coach, your student writes. That's what makes the essays work.

Frequently asked questions.
Can't my kid just use ChatGPT?
AI essays read flat, and admissions officers read thousands of them. Several schools now ask applicants directly about AI use. I coach your student to write in their own real voice, which is the one thing AI can't fake and the one thing readers remember.
Is $650 worth it for a few essays?
Grades and test scores are already set. Essays are the one part of the application your student fully controls, and for early deadlines they're due in weeks. This is the highest-leverage $650 in the whole application.
Will this actually be finished before November 1?
Yes. The sprint is 10 days, the deadline is agreed in writing at kickoff, and if I miss it you get a full refund. I only take 4 students at a time so nobody waits in line.
Do you write the essays for them?
No. I coach, they write. Every round makes their draft sharper until it's genuinely theirs and genuinely good. That's what holds up in admissions and it's the only way I work.
