Princeton-Led Essay Guidance

Led by Stephanie, who has worked with Rhodes Scholars and astrophysicists, we help students answer the hardest essay questions from the start: What should I write about? Is this too clichéd? Does this belong in the main essay, the activities list, or a supplement? Because we know our students well, we can help them find stronger material and shape a more coherent application.

Stephanie

Asst. Director, Princeton Writing Center

"Admissions go to the voices they remember and can't find anywhere else — the essay is your chance to prove you belong."
