Oscar

Oscar's story is one that showcases his passion for mechanics and electronic music, as well as his determination to embark on a new adventure as an international student in the United States. When he reached out to us at the end of his junior year of high school, he knew that he needed help in order to make his college application stand out and be as strong as possible.

Oscar found the college application process to be quite different from what he was used to in high school. He said, "In high school, we learn to write academic materials, but in the college application process, it is completely different because you are trying to sell yourself." Working with us, Oscar found the creative and varied writing exercises to be fascinating, particularly the exercise of "writing an ideal day at the school you are applying to." 

As a particularly busy student balancing school, extracurriculars, and sports, he was impressed by the personal nature of our services and the flexibility that we offered to accommodate his busy schedule balancing school, extracurriculars, and sports.

Despite the challenges he faced, Oscar persevered and was accepted to his dream school. He attributes his success to the strategies and guidance he received from us, and he offers valuable advice for other students: "The more specific you are about why you want to attend a particular school, the easier it is to narrow down your options." This highlights the importance of having a clear idea of what you are looking for in a college and being able to effectively communicate that to the admissions committee. Oscar's story is a testament to the importance of perseverance and determination in achieving one's goals.





"We learn in school how to write academic material for teachers, but writing an essay for college is entirely different. Because you want to talk about yourself and sell yourself. One of my favorite college memories has to be writing about my ideal day."
