Jessica Franklin explains how working with Dr. P. on her college essays won her tens of thousands in scholarship money to attend Loyola University.
“a big help in turning my thoughts into great college essays.”*
Dr. Padurano’s expert, caring questions help even the most blocked writer brainstorm topics and anecdotes that make a personal statement or supplemental essay come alive. Once the student produces a draft, Dr. P. works closely with the student to ensure the narrative conveys important aspects of his or her background and interests to the admissions committee. Finally, Dr. P.’s own extensive publication history makes clear that the final polished essay will be not just grammatically correct, but also a joy for admissions officers to read and remember.
Dr. P. has also helped families from Brussels to the Bronx compile lists of colleges that are sensible and “inspiring,” in the words of one Crimson dad.
