Testimonials
I seriously had no idea what to write about before this. Every idea I came up with felt super boring or just didn’t sound like me. But after just one session, it was like everything started clicking. Mark asked the right questions and helped me pull out a story I didn’t even realize I had. The outline we built made writing the actual essay way easier. I’m pretty sure it made a big difference in getting into Georgia Tech.

I was so stressed about the essay part. Like, I’d stare at the screen for hours and still have nothing. But this process made it feel way more doable. We talked through a bunch of stuff, and somehow I ended up with this really cool idea that actually made sense. I left with an outline and a ton more confidence.
