The college application process is overwhelming for many busy high school juniors and seniors. With the demands and requirements of college applications increasing, applicants can expect to write many supplementary essays in addition to crafting their personal statement. Those requirements combined with completing lengthy applications, resumes and portfolios leads to a substantial writing workload.
At College Place Applications, Kelly Chester works individually with students to assist in the planning, writing and editing process for all components of college applications. Many college consultants primarily focus on goal setting and the development of college lists. They then outsource the writing portions of applications to staff members with little to no pedagogical experience or insight into what colleges are looking for in their essays. This is a disjointed approach that leads to suboptimal communication between students, editors and consultants. At College Place Applications, college applicants work solely with Kelly Chester in the preparation and review of each personal statement and supplementary essay. There is a comprehensive vision, plan and timeline for each applicant, and Kelly Chester personally reviews each piece of writing that is to be submitted to a college or university. This allows for the creation of well-executed essays that are polished, unique and memorable.
