College Applications
College Counseling and Applications*
The personal essays are among the most important components of your application package so be prepared to give the prompts a lot of thought. Colleges want to see growth because you are entering a new chapter of life, so focus on adaptations, lessons learned, and humility. Be open and honest with your accomplishments and failures. Once you have your ideas, we’ll work together to turn them into insightful self-reflections.
(*Due to our highly specific and personalized approach, we only take on a maximum of 20 students each application cycle.)
“Christine was unlike any of the tutors or advisors I had met before because she actually took time to understand her students on a personal level and really know their situation and working with it, instead of giving a generic cut and paste template.”
— Nini L. (US Berkeley)
“Working with Christine has only served to reinforce [my] philosophy, as her work is driven by the needs of her students. She treats each student as a unique individual, using a custom approach to the learning styles and needs of her students.”
— Alexander H.W. (assistant professor, UC Irvine)
