For the Class of 2027 · Senior Live Sessions
No homework battles. No chasing drafts. Your student shows up to a live 1-on-1 session, and together with their dedicated coach they brainstorm, write, and polish essays and applications — in real time, on the call.

Why live sessions
After coaching 1,500+ students to top-school acceptances, we've learned the real bottleneck of senior fall isn't talent — it's the blank page. Students who write alongside a coach finish early and strong. Students left to “work on it this week” stall. So we built the program around the single thing that works: the writing happens live, on the call, every time.
How it works
Browse our coach list — backgrounds, specialties, UC and East Coast expertise — and pick the one who fits your student.
Schedule 50-minute sessions directly on your coach's calendar, as often as your student needs.
Brainstorm, draft, and polish together on the call. Your coach leaves notes after each session so momentum carries forward.
Watch hours as they're used. Run low? Add more in two clicks — you only ever pay for what you need.
The investment
How many hours? It depends on your college list — the list determines how many essays, and each essay takes a couple of hours to take from idea to submission-ready. Start with 10 and add more anytime; there are no bundles to choose between.
The fine print, in plain English
Questions families ask
Count your application systems, not your schools. UC-only students usually land in the 10–20 hour range. Students applying to both the UCs and Common App schools typically need 20. Lists with heavy supplemental essays (8–15 essays total) should start at 30. Your advisor will size it with you — and because bundles stack, starting smaller never locks you out.
Your coach leaves short notes and light next steps after each call. But the heavy lifting — the actual writing and editing — happens live, together. That's the point of the program.
Our coaching team is trained on egelloC's admissions system and knows exactly what top-school readers look for. You'll see each coach's background and specialties — including UC and East Coast expertise — before you choose.
You keep the same coach every session so feedback compounds — that's deliberate. If something isn't working, tell your advisor and we'll make it right.
If your student is a self-starter who writes on their own, our async Edit Packs are outstanding value. Live Sessions are for students who do their best work with someone in the room — or who simply won't start without one. Most families know immediately which student they have.
Your advisor can size the right bundle for your list, introduce you to available coaches, and have your student's first session booked within 7 days.
