Marie Todd
I understand in great detail all the pieces that go into a successful college application – from student essays and transcripts to letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities. Your essay responses are your opportunity to truly distinguish yourself from your peers. They provide a perspective that goes beyond the numbers of GPA and standardized test scores to give insight into your motivations, interests, and unique experiences. I look forward to helping you generate your strongest possible application!
