Dear Admissions
Bespoke college support for the kid who isn’t like other kids
Dear Admissions is a personal college coaching service from both a Gen X AND Gen Z perspective: part strategic coaching, part trusted grown-ups, part “okay, let’s figure out what you’re actually trying to say”. We work with students to uncover the stories, experiences, and perspectives that make them them. Then we support them in transforming those ideas into authentic, compelling, admission acceptance winning college essays. No ghostwriting. No manufactured sob stories. No trying to sound like a 45-year-old admissions officer. Just thoughtful coaching that helps students tell their own stories in their own voices.
Dear Admissions offers a limited, high-touch alternative to expensive college consulting firms. We bring decades of real-world communication, storytelling, and editing experience to the process while keeping it approachable, practical, and, yes, fun. Your kid does not need another adult telling them who they should be. They need someone who can help them figure out what they want to say, why it matters, and how to say it in a voice all their own.
