SHAPE IT, SHARPEN IT, STRENGTHEN IT

Two Rounds of Expert Feedback to Turn a Good College Admissions Essay Into a Great One

↓

You don’t just want your college essay to be solid—you want it to stick in the minds of admissions officers.

This two-step editing process gives your writing the space and guidance it needs to evolve.

This means a refined structure, tighter storytelling, and layered persuasion techniques that go beyond a surface-level review.

This isn’t just editing.

It’s shaping and sharpening your narrative with intention, so your final draft doesn’t just sound good. It feels saturated with purpose. 

Think of the first round as creative surgery: we dive deep into structure, tone, clarity, rhythm, and story flow.

You’ll get clear, candid feedback that helps you rethink, reframe, and rebuild your essay into something far more compelling.

Then in the second round, we polish.

We layer in rhetorical strategies used in professional writing and advertising—like persuasive framing, narrative hooks, emotional contrast, and rhythm—so your voice comes through with both power and precision.

By the end, your essay won’t just be better.

It will be tighter, bolder, more persuasive, and built to make a lasting impression.

In the professional world, no one submits first drafts.

Writers rewrite.

Copywriters rework hooks and pacing. Storytellers rearrange scenes for maximum effect.

Admissions essays deserve the same kind of care.

I bring years of experience in writing, editing, and persuasive storytelling to every draft, so your ideas aren’t just clear; they’re strategic.

Two rounds of editing means you’re not just cleaning up.

You’re building something that sells your story with intention.

If you’re ready to go beyond “almost there” and aim for unforgettable, this two-step process is built for you.
