#college essays
One of the most daunting aspects of applying to college is the sheer number of essays you have (wait, get to!) write.
What do I mean? Say you’re applying to eight to ten schools. Each has anywhere from one to five (hi, MIT!) supplemental essays. Quick math tells us that’s between eight and fifty college essay prompts to respond to. And that’s after you write the personal statement for your Common App.
But guess what? ❗YOU TOTALLY DON’T HAVE TO WRITE 50 ESSAYS. In fact, you may end up writing fewer than ten.
Why?
I’ve developed a pretty simple step-by-step process to help you see which essay prompts can overlap. Follow my lead and it may not only save you dozens of hours or writing, it could improve the quality of those essays.
How?
The secret involves doing a little bit of research and creative brainstorming before deciding on your topic.
The “Why us” or “Why this college” essay is a chance for you to demonstrate why you’re a great match for a particular school.
In this college essay guide, I’ll cover how to write a great “Why us” essay, the most common mistakes to avoid, some things you’ll probably want to be sure you do. as well as a few of my favorite approaches.

Hey guys! I know I normally give away free college essay editing for the month of November and I’ve done so without fail for the past few years but this year I unfortunately missed it.
There has been a big personal issue that I’ve been dealing with since early October, and I’m still working through my thoughts, feelings, and emotions and just kind of practicing a lot of self care, and that’s what led me to miss this year’s free college essay editing sesh.
As things look up, I’m hoping to be able to do a week or so of a make-up college essay editing session for you guys later this December during my holiday break.
For the time being, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding college, the college admissions process, college essays, etc. or just give me topics you’d like to hear me try and share advice on.
x, Kat.
