College Coach® Launches EssayExpress™ College Application Essay Review Service
With EssayExpress, high school seniors can access College Coach’s team of former admissions officers from the nation’s top colleges and universities to review and critique their college admissions essays before the January 1 college application deadline. These experts know exactly what admissions officers are looking for, what pitfalls to avoid, and how an essay can make one applicant stand out from the rest. They will share expert guidance on topic selection, content development, grammar, spelling, and style, as well as their insider advice on the right approach for the targeted college or colleges. Last year, College Coach helped students get accepted to more than 400 different U.S. colleges and universities.
Patrick Donovan, General Manager of College Coach, said, “Colleges rate the essay as a more important acceptance criterion than extracurricular activities or recommendations. Having an essay that best represents your talents and strengths can be the crucial differentiator that helps you get into the college of your choice.”
The need for a well-written college essay is more paramount today than in the past. Today, more than 450 colleges and universities in the U.S. use the Common Application in their undergraduate student selection process. In 2011, the Common Application limited the college essay component to 250 - 500 words and prior to this change, there was no word limit. In today’s world, essays need to be concise, yet still showcase the student’s unique voice.
The EssayExpress package includes:
- Questionnaire to provide context for target colleges and academic and extracurricular strengths
- Written critique by a team consisting of former admissions officers
- Up to five reviews/revisions (additional revisions at an added cost)
- Guaranteed turnaround within three days from date of submission
- 24-hour turnaround available for an additional fee
