Early Decision Results: Harvard, Cornell, Tufts, NYU Stern, Hamilton ~

Maybe it's time to pull up a chair

The initial results are in. This week, the students I worked with gained Early Decision Admission to Cornell, Harvard, NYU Stern, Tufts, and Hamilton.

How’d they do it? Three years of hard work in school and  applications that stood out.

With my experience as a coach, author, and Ivy League writing professor, I help students brainstorm and formulate their application essays:  personal statements, Common App, and supplements. I provide support and answer many questions about the application process. The mother of a new Cornell admit just sent me this:

My son was just accepted to Cornell Early Decision.  Liz was an integral part of his success in getting there. She worked tirelessly with him on his essays, and they were perfect by application time.  She is an incredible writer and her advice and guidance were spot on. Best of all, Liz supported my son (and our family) throughout this whole process.  As we all know, college applications are  stressful.  Liz always answered our questions and reassured us we were on the right track to getting my son accepted to a very selective school. Quite frankly, I’m not sure how we would have made it through without her. Her services were an investment in my son’s future. It has already paid off.

If your Early Decision dream was a “no,” please contact me about Plan B. If you were “Deferred,” there’s a letter you might want to write restating your interest.

And if you’re at a different point in your application journey and need help with essays, my recent articles might spark an idea or three: “The College Admissions Essay Prompts Are Your Friends.” and “A Great College Essay: Wanna Write One?”
