Brigitte Suhr
I believe that your goal as an applicant is to leave the admissions team rooting for you. It means well-written, well-edited essays and addenda that show who you are without drowning the reader in excessive information. I love the editing process and look forward to working with applicants to guide them to a deeper awareness of how their writing presents them to the outside world. I also love the strategy aspect of the application process. I find the admissions process fascinating and love the idea of helping applicants put their best foot forward in their applications.

Most recently, Brigitte learned kintsugi, the Japanese technique of using gold or bronze to repair and improve broken ceramics.

What Do Brigitte’s Clients Say?

Working with Brigitte Suhr was a seamless experience from start to finish. We took the time to establish an understanding of goals and perspective, and I truly feel like Brigitte retained that understanding accurately throughout all of our work together. Every iteration of the review was conducted swiftly and thoroughly. At no point did I feel like I received anything less than 100% of her full attention and support. My personal statement really came to life as a result of my work with Brigitte, and many other ad hoc essays benefited tremendously from her ability to clarify and amplify my voice. Brigitte’s services are of exceptional value and have given me a level of confidence in my applications that I could not have achieved on my own. THANK YOU, BRIGITTE!
