For the Class of 2027 · The 10-Week Finish Line

Why this program exists
Five essays decide more than everything else your student writes: the Common App Personal Statement and the four UC PIQs. This program pours unlimited expert rounds into exactly those five — on your student's schedule, not a class schedule. Summer program? Job? Travel? It fits around all of it, because every round is asynchronous.
How it works
Your editor studies your student's profile and college list, then aligns the essay strategy before the first draft.
Submit a core essay, get expert edits + video within 3 business days, revise, resubmit. One essay in review at a time keeps focus sharp.
Each essay works toward approval — your editor's professional judgment that it's ready to submit.
Spend your 5 included edits across supplemental essays — five essays once, one essay five times, any mix.
The investment
The fine print, in plain English
Questions families ask
Students who submit consistently finish with room to spare — and your editor flags pace at week 6 if the rhythm is slipping. If life genuinely gets in the way, there's a one-time 2-week extension for $500.
By design. This program's job is the five essays every school reads. Supplemental essays scale with your list — 3 schools or 13 — so they fit better in an Edit Pack sized to your actual schools. Your advisor can pair the two.
Your editor's professional sign-off that the essay is submission-ready: the story lands, the structure works, and it does its job inside the full application. It's the same expert judgment our team applies to every application we review.
Really — on the five core essays, one at a time, for the full 10 weeks. Some students take four rounds, some take ten. The price doesn't change.
Start now and the core essays are finished before deadline season starts — instead of during it.
