"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path...You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, UK Prime Minister, Author, Orator

Admissions Essay-Writing Assistance

Regardless of where you apply, admissions representatives insist all final decisions reflect their evaluations of the ‘whole applicant’. While academic performance, standardized-test scores, activities, and off-campus pursuits can trumpet an applicant’s aptitude and motivational levels, only the Application Essay or Personal Statement can illuminate the following:

The driving force behind why you selected a specific school
Unique personality traits distinguishing you from other applicants
Life events or people inspiring your selection of activities and goals
How you will contribute to the school community and development as a student
A long-held passion you hope to pursue in the future

Selecting appropriate words, expressing ideas born straight from the heart, and putting pen to paper can be the most challenging and time-consuming elements of the application-writing process. Many of us are uncomfortable and not used to “selling ourselves” on paper. For a high school student, this might be the first time you’ve ever marketed yourself through written words so pivotal to your future. In adult students, school admissions possesses some similarities to a job application but advances from a more personal, intrusive angle than we are accustomed.

At Higher Degree Consulting, Inc., applicants meet with experienced and highly trained facilitators to produce outstanding essays capturing the applicant’s character, values, strengths, and aspirations. Notwithstanding our feedback and guidance, all essays are written by the applicant and in her or his own writing voice. The final draft is reviewed for flow, format, grammar, transitions, and punctuation. The resulting text is a quality, highly personal window on you and the quest toward your dreams.

Our facilitators will meet with you anywhere across the Greater Boston, MetroWest/Central MA, or Southern New Hampshire areas.* Please call or e-mail us today. We look forward to working with you and being part of your success.
