College application critique/help

50


50 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 14, 2017

I will not write an essay for anyone. However, I will happily look through all aspects of an application (college, graduate programs, scholarship, fellowship, internship, etc) including essays, skills, and choosing how to apply. I offer both general proof reading (for grammar, typos, clarity, etc) and can help you flesh out essay ideas. I can also help you prepare for interviews and feel more prepared to answer questions that may come up.

If you email me your materials beforehand, I will be able to meet with you over Skype for up to 60 minutes to discuss strategies for best marketing yourself through your application.

Training & Qualifications


This skill is primarily self-taught. I have an excellent track record of acceptances for both undergraduate and graduate programs for myself (UPenn, MIT, Johns Hopkins, etc) and scientific internships (NIH, NSF, NDSEG). I have also been on the other side of applications and know what stands out and what strategies don't work.

Availability & Preferences


I am usually free on Saturdays and Sunday afternoons/evenings

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Jen Dailey

I am a graduate student with minimal money, but I have many skills in STEM, cooking, and application writing that I am happy to share! I have many years of experience tutoring middle and high school ...students, and have recently instructed a few courses for undergraduate students. I prefer working one on one with students to help them achieve their individual goals. I enjoy listening to what you hope to accomplish and trying to make that a reality. Also I know a lot about chocolate. Possibly too much. show more
