“I wanted to thank you so much for offering this class, and let you know that our daughter was accepted at her top choice university (U-M)! She’ll be a freshman at Michigan in the fall.
As a parent, I wanted to share my gratitude for making this college essay class available. We used the resources you provided, which helped our daughter prepare and focus her essay – and they supported me in parenting my first child through the college application process. Writing is a skill that will serve her well throughout her life, and your class was a part of that development. ” -N.N.
I liked how we were given prompts that were relevant to some essay prompts, because it allowed me to realize what I could talk about in my essay. My advice to other students: Pick a topic that you are passionate about, not what you think will impress the admissions officers!”–H.H.
