Work with Robert One-on-One In a Fun, Judgment-Free Environment that Creates Authentic Essays

As an essay advisor, my expertise is in assisting smart, motivated, intellectually inquisitive applicants create essays that get them accepted into elite colleges and universities. In a series of weekly meetings, I help applicants convey who they are, and why their unique set of experiences moves the needle on their candidacy to the elite schools to which they are applying.

Hundreds of Students Accepted into Top Universities

My role is to unearth a personal statement and individual college supplement essays that offer insight into who the applicant truly is. I accomplish this by being part tutor, part shrink, and part cheerleader. Together, we craft essays that result in admissions success.

RIP: The College Application Nonprofit

by Robert Schwartz | Mar 4, 2025

Everything in life is cyclical. In the 1970's, slim boot-cut style jeans with a tapered knee and a wide leg that pooled at the shoe were everywhere. Then during the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX, Kendrick Lamar brought that back big time. For the last 5 or 8 years,...
