Application Advising

$250.00

The application process is an opportunity for students to reflect, articulate who they are, and present themselves thoughtfully and authentically. My application advising is designed to support students through that process—helping them think deeply, communicate clearly, and gain confidence in their own voice.

Hourly Application Advising

Application advising is offered on an hourly basis and is tailored to each student’s timeline, experience, and goals. Sessions are collaborative and reflective, supporting students as they develop strong, genuine responses that feel true to who they are.

What Application Advising Includes

  • Brainstorming and refining ideas for application essays and short-answer responses

  • Helping students identify themes, stories, and experiences that best represent them

  • Coaching students on structure, clarity, and organization of responses

  • Asking guiding questions that help students go deeper and think more critically

  • Supporting students in revising their own work to strengthen voice, focus, and impact

  • Helping students manage the application process with confidence and intention

What Application Advising Is Not

To honor the integrity of the admissions process and the student’s authentic voice:

  • I do not write or edit application responses

  • I do not rewrite sentences, correct grammar line-by-line, or polish final drafts

  • I do not alter a student’s voice or content

Instead, students are coached to revise their own work, ensuring that every submission reflects their thinking, effort, and individuality.

A Coaching-Centered Approach

Application advising is rooted in conversation, reflection, and mentorship. The goal is not just a strong application—but a student who understands themselves better, communicates with confidence, and feels ownership over their work.

This approach builds skills that extend beyond admissions, supporting students as writers, thinkers, and self-advocates.
