“When I entered my college application process, I had made a list of all the colleges that I wanted to apply to and began writing my essays. However, shortly after I began, I kept hitting a writer’s block as to how should I best express myself. With two weeks left before the deadline for early action applications, I still did not even have a good draft of my Common App essay, along with all 11 of my supplemental essays. This is when I first contacted Sona, and she began assisting me through my college application journey. Sona was really helpful for me because she in no way told me how to write; instead, she helped me find how to best express myself. I believe one of the most important parts of college applications is being authentic, and Sona was able to help me write my essays while also making sure that it was my voice and my ideas being expressed through my essays. Furthermore, Sona provides college essay suggestions that go far beyond simple grammatical fixes. This includes finding ways to structure the essay, picking which ideas to focus on in the essay, and helping students express themselves through their essays. Finally, Sona is willing to put in a great deal of hard work to make sure both she and her students are content with the final draft of their essays. Thanks to Sona’s help and hard work, I got into my reach schools and had plenty of options to choose from. ”

“I am very grateful that Sona was able to help me get through the stressful college application process! I really liked how she went through everything step by step, especially when I was preparing for my college interviews. She was able to guide me through a few mock interviews, which really helped me ease up during my actual interviews. Along with this, her essay plans and outlines helped me format a successful college application essay. Also, she was very flexible and was always willing to help me at anytime. With her assistance, the college application process was definitely easier and less overwhelming!”
