Admissions, Scholarship, & Fellowship Essay Coaching

Are you struggling with your admissions or fellowship essays or graduate school?

Is it taking too many words to squeeze your background, goals, and fit with a school into just a few paragraphs?

I love to work with clients as a graduate school personal statement coach. Not only do I get to find out about new fields and interests, but I get to learn about you, the client: your passions, your background, and of course, your goals.

graduation diploma and capAs a graduate school admissions essay coach, I work with applicants for a wide range of fields, including:

  • Religious studies, theology, seminary, and theological school programs
  • Psychology, mental health, counseling, therapy, and social work programs
  • Physical therapy, nursing school, CRNA applications, and other hands-on medical fields
  • Law, business, and other professional programs
  • STEM, business, economics, and computer science programs
  • Environmental studies and environmental management
  • PhD programs in the humanities, social sciences, and other fields

Emily’s feedback on my PhD personal statements allowed me to improve my logic and flow while retaining my own voice. I am confident that she played a big role in my admission to schools like Yale, Columbia, and Stanford.

Working with a coach can make writing your admissions essays so much less stressful.

I’ll work with you to find just the right words, in just the right length. I have an eye for finding the gem of what you’re saying, and I’ll help that gem shine clearly. I love coaching prospective students on their writing and watching them discover their own stories. Together, we’ll think through how to tell your story best, and how to get the right point across with style.

Admissions essay editing and coaching is an art, not a science.

In other words, I’ll do more than just line-edit your essays, catching typos or grammatical mistakes. We’ll work together to fine-tune your essays. I’ll help you highlight the stories in your background that speak directly to why a particular degree, topic, or program interests you. Together, we’ll work those ideas into your essay so that your fit with the school of your choice seems natural.

Emily’s writing coaching skills are second to none. She has the rare ability to both understand the point you are trying to make as well as aid you in constructing the appropriate syntax to make that point completely, efficiently, and with engaging prose.

I tailor my graduate school admissions editing and coaching services to your needs. No matter the field, you’ll find quality attention, a listening ear, and a careful eye for detail. Find out more by contacting me below, or learn more about the graduate school essay coaching process.
