College Essay Consulting

Helping Great Students become Great Storytellers

Every year, I meet incredible students—4.0 GPAs, leadership titles, research projects—and yet their essays sound flat. They summarize, instead of showing who they are.

That’s why I built this premium, small-cohort consulting package: to help motivated students write essays that sound like them—authentic, reflective, and unforgettable.

With this package, your student will:

  • Complete 4 UC Essays or 3 Common App Essays with personalized coaching

  • Work 1-on-1 with an ABOUND Essay Specialist trained in our CARL™ storytelling framework

  • Get unlimited access to our full online Masterclass library ($799 value)

  • Join our weekly 4-hour Essay Workshops (in-person or Zoom) from Aug 31 – Dec 20 for live feedback and structured writing time

  • Receive 2 private 30 minute consultations with Coach John to refine their college list, essay topics, and application strategy

  • Finish strong with a 30-minute 232-Point Final Application Review personally conducted by Coach John

This program is capped at just 4 students per year to ensure every family gets direct, individualized attention.

If your student wants to move beyond “good essays” and write something truly memorable, this is the most complete, hands-on option we offer.
